Did I see a unicorn?

This morning driving on the 105 freeway in Los Angeles I came up on a white Ford Focus sedan. At first I thought it was an ICE FF but it had the electric emblem and the grill. Is the FFE made in a sedan version? Previous years? Or was I imagining it?

Nope, never a sedan: batteries wouldn't fit.

That's not saying someone went to their dealer and purchased electric badging and put it on their car.

No photos?

The 2015 and newer sedans had a new front that looks like our FFE. I wonder if they did that to use the hov lane? I thought you had to have a sticker on the bumper so badging doesn't matter.

Did you see one of these?



Did you possibly mistake a "TITANIUM" label, or something like that, for the electric badge?

AFAIK, there is no Ford electric other than the FFE hatchback.

It's possible I missread the label. It wasn't in the HOV lane and I didn't get a super close look at the label but it wasn't a typical focus label. I was also driving and didn't have time to take a pic.

What is the titanium?

What is the titanium?

It's a trim level:

From the rear, at the distance, the "TITANIUM" trim label could be mistaken for the "ELECTRIC" badge:

That must have been it. It would be nice though to have a sedan option. Nice looking car. Since Tesla can do it, I would think Ford could too.

That's because Tesla has a "skateboard" frame where the batteries go.
As for the FFE, Ford just tosses in a 600lb battery pack where the fuel tank goes on the ICE version.
