Glad the PR is going full speed, how about some details Ford :?:

+1 -- nice photo, is this still a prototype or a production vehicle ?

I'm going to guess prototype - has anyone seen a production Ford Focus Electric yet? I don't think they exist... at least not that Ford is showing/letting on...

My vote is that's a prototype Ford Focus Electric. No one has seen the production version yet, and many are skeptical the production version of the Ford Focus Electric even exists yet - if it does, wouldn't Ford be selling it? Or are they sitting on it so they have 10000 Ford Focus Electric's stored up so they don't run into the same supply bottleneck that Nissan did?

My guess is production Ford Focus Electric, or at least closer to a production Ford Focus Electric than a prototype Ford Focus Electric.

Remember the prototypes? The bright orange Ford Focus Electric's with the old style grill/body? This is clearly the new Focus model - perhaps just a gasoline version with a plugin port added, or perhaps just a non-functioning or non complete Ford Focus Electric.

I'd guess the director of Global Electrification gets the latest & greatest even if its just a photo shoot
