(The reference source on this seemed to indicate Ford only did this on 2016-2018 Focus models, gasoline & electric models, so it may not work on 2012-2015 Ford Focus Electrics, not sure.) I just took the battery out of my key fob to try this with my 2014. As you mentioned, on 2012-2015 FFEs placing...

Still going with the same 2013 FFE, up to 55k miles. and I have not had the 12v issue in months now (seems to have gone away on its own) Glad to hear no more problems with your 12v! The 12v on mine was dead a couple weeks ago after sitting for a week without driving. I'm guessing some module or oth...

Hi Deed, from other posts I've read on the forums here, the 23 kWh cars originally had about 19 kWh usable capacity with brand new cells. About 2 kWh is reserved as a buffer at the top, and a bit less than 2 kWh at the bottom so "full charge" is about 90% actual SOC and "battery depleted" is about 8...

I now charge with the 220v charger mainly does it degrade battery more than the 120v supplied charge? I recall on the Leaf’s forums they suggest to charge battery to 80% vs 100% for better battery life. Does that apply to our batteries? As Silverrabbit said there's a buffer of about 10% at the top ...

Wanted to post an update. After my dealership got my car back and did a reassessment they confirmed that I never formally approved any work so all of the work they had done prior to 8/1 which should have cost me around $1400, is on them. That's the only good news I have. Since then they continued t...

Take it on a trip you know it can do and when you get home, do the heater run down to take it the rest of the way and make note of the energy reading on the trip meter before charging it back up. For an accurate measurement you do have to use the heater to run it all the way down from 100% to 0% (p...

Roanhouse welcome to the club! Perhaps nobody has replied because very few of us have tried to upgrade our car's infotainment. I would expect a fancy aftermarket head unit to be a nightmare to wire up and keep all the functionality. But may be feasible to replace your APIM with a newer Ford APIM tha...

James, I got my 2014 back on May 24th with the replacement battery. I received a 23 kWh pack, NOT a new 33.5 kWh one. At no time did the manager at the dealership mention the size of the replacement pack. I didn't ask either, because I haven't heard of *anyone's* replacement pack being the smaller o...

Charliedog that's great to hear! My 2014 is also at the dealership waiting for a replacement battery pack which should arrive next week. They only approved having it replaced after the 5th time that it was towed to the dealer over the past 16 months. I've posted most of the history in Carbuff's thre...

I reported them. Last time I messaged the moderator he responded in a day, hopefully they'll get deleted shortly.
