Focus Extreme Weather Testing

[evlove]

Here's some photos of the Focus Electric being tested at an extreme weather facility to make sure the battery pack and the rest of the car's components can handle the cold and hot weather it could encounter out in the real world.

Well, that is nice, but I would like the data....any references on that?

Ha sorry about that!

I thought I had found the link through the news section on this forum, but now I can't find it.

This refers to the Focus in general, not the Focus Electric specifically:

Don't get me wrong, I still like the pictures! I think we are going to have to wait a bit for any battery/performance data.

The car in the pics is the non-EV FF.

Curious, how can you tell it's not the ford focus electric? I can't tell if there's a charge port on the side because it's a picture of the front of the Ford Focus.

Is it because it's right hand drive?

Look at the grill in the pic then compare it to the FFE in the top banner.
