Nissan had some Leafs on tour months and months ahead of when they actually started delivering, and yet a month or two ahead of when the Ford Focus Electric is supposed to be available, we're still seeing mocked up gasoline - I think it's wait to close to the launch of the 2012 Ford Focus...

It seems like almost every day there's a press release from some city that's installing charging stations for the Ford Focus Electric. Today it's Bradenton, Florida that's installing charging stations to prepare for coming electric vehicles. While there is some skepticism about the usefulness...

Apparently no one knows any details on this, even though people have talked about it on the EcoModder.com forums. It's a heavily modified 1972 Honda 600, and painted right on it says 'documented 176MPG' but there is no info anywhere on the documentation or if there is any proof. The technical...

Probably to use an existing part - what else would the Focus Electric's shifter look like? It's only a 4 option selector so there's only so much you can do with it.

Found this on the Ford Website: And limited info: The full range of Ford Focus Electric vehicles was on display at the L.A. auto show this year. The high performance Ford Focus Electric ST is geared towards the gas-free, all electric crowd as well as the enthusiast crowd. Does anyone know of...

Ford is moving towards a One Ford methodology which means that Ford around the world uses the same designs and cars. This was obvious with the new Ford Focus Electric in North America matching the European Ford Focus Electric and being built on the Global C platform. The Evos is supposed to...

I was browsing the Ford website and found some Ford Focus Electric photos I hadn't seen before, and thought I'd share them with you! They are mostly close-ups of some interior features in the Ford Focus Electric: Ford Focus Electric push button start (or more specifically push button turn on)...

56 mpg is high - ridiculously high. That can only mean 1 of 2 things - either car companies have totally been slacking off and building overpowered gas guzzling vehicles, or they will have to work like crazy to try and meat those standards (or every vehicle will be a Ford Focus Electric :D )

If a driver wants more in-depth information, they can use the MyView feature and personalize their displays. All of this is done with five way buttons on the steering wheel. Ford Focus Electric owners can configure their own information in the left screen - apparently only the left screen. With...

Does anybody know if there will be an option to lease the Ford Focus Electric? I know Ford has said they won't be leasing the battery packs and selling it with the car, but what about leasing the whole Ford Focus Electric?

Found an amusing article on Plugincars.com called 'The EV-haters Guide to Hating Electric Vehicles' It starts like this: 1. Electric vehicle are way overpriced Point to the Tesla Roadster as your only example. If someone mentions the mid to high 20s Nissan Leaf, or the project cost of under...

At what point do you have to commit to buying the Nissan Leaf? If there's a pull out plan, then I think it makes sense to keep your name on the list up to the last minute. That gives you as much time as you can get to make a final decision. If something changes with Ford by that point, then you...

Thanks very much for outlinging the process! That doesn't sound too hard afterall - if we do get a Ford Focus Electric maybe I'll get my husband to see about installing the charger himself! (I don't know how to post pictures on the forum)

Wow great job! How long did it take to install it? Was it difficult or was it pretty straight forward? Do you have any pictures? Will you be charging a Ford Focus Electric with this charger? :lol:

I think most pick up drivers drive trucks because they like to haul stuff, not because they like crappy fuel economy, so as long as they can still handle heavy duty loads a Plug In Hybrid F-150 would interest me!

That's too bad - I would've loved some new information about the Ford Focus Electric - I almost wonder why they don't keep releasing juicy tidbits just to keep the masses interested? Maybe consumers will start losing interest and buy a different electric vehicle!?

We all know the 2012 Ford Focus Electric is a hatchback style electric vehicle, but did you know that hatchbacks are making a comeback? Ford said that hatchbacks accounted for 43% of Focus sales. Owners are opting for the hatchback for more space and better fuel efficiency. The Ford Focus...

Thanks for posting that! I missed the first tour when they went to Seattle, I'll have to mark it on my calendar for December! I sure wish Ford would set up tour dates for the Ford Focus Electric! Even if there weren't any test drives - but I guess Ford can't show the Focus to people without...

1. Location: Salem Oregon USA 2. I am interested in the Ford Focus Electric vehicle because I'm tired of paying lots of money for gasoline when there is so much solar energy available in Oregon. I'd love to get a Ford Focus Electric and then get some solar panels and charge it for free during...

Found this article about the Ford Focus Electric that talks about how the batteries aren't just heated, but cooled - using the same system that handles the air conditioning in the vehicle. I guess as an added benefit the Ford Focus Electric would never get really hot inside while parked at a...
