This is the all-new Ford Focus Electric, planned to be launched into market sometime next year, even though it’s still not clear when the fuel-powered of it will arrive!
This new EV has one real advantage over other electrics today and that’s the design. Apart from a few small details, the Focus Electric looks virtually the same as the normal Focus. If anything, that new grille makes it look even better.
The all-electric powertrain and single-speed transmission provide immediate responsiveness and smooth acceleration when the driver pushes down the accelerator, up to a top speed of 84 mph (136 kph).
Focus Electric offers a host of standard safety and security features including six airbags and electronic traction control, along with hands-free SYNC® telephone connectivity and MyKey® for North America. Extensive eco-friendly materials, such as bio-foam seat cushions and recycled fabrics also are featured in the vehicle.
Other standard features on Ford Focus Electric for North American customers include a unique execution of MyFord Touch driver connect technology, 15-spoke 17-inch aluminum wheels, a 60/40 split rear bench seat, push button start, AM/FM/CD/MP3 Sony® Audio with nine speakers, Sirius® Satellite Radio with Travel Link, HD Radio™ and voice-activated Navigation System.
Ford will offer a home charging station for the Focus Electric – sold separately – that gives you a quick charge. Don’t get too excited though becasue this quick still means 3 to 4 hours!
