In a couple weeks I will be saying good by to my Focus Electric. This is my only electric i have ever owned. With over 5 years of owner ship I would have to say it has been a positive experiance. With 49000 miles driven the battery has maintained about 85% of its original capacity. This has done better than expected. And yes the replacement is also an all electric. It has the original tires. The tires are not down to the wear bars yet. If I had to do another winter they would get replaced. The replacement vehicle will have a driving rang of 310 miles.
