We all know the 2012 Ford Focus Electric is a hatchback style electric vehicle, but did you know that hatchbacks are making a comeback?

Ford said that hatchbacks accounted for 43% of Focus sales. Owners are opting for the hatchback for more space and better fuel efficiency. The Ford Focus Electric is a hatchback style to increase storage capacity for cargo and batteries, as well as improve upon the mileage the electric vehicle will get with each re-charge.

One of the biggest knocks on hatchbacks was the fact that theives could see everything in the back of the car. The 2012 Ford Focus Electric will come with a cargo cover to keep objects out of view.

The Focus Electric is also a nice swoopie looking hatchback rather than a looped off sedan like the Ford Focus hatchback used to look like.
 
I totally agree that although Ford is continuously releasing press statements and information on their upcoming Ford Focus Electric and other electric vehicles, Ford ahs yet to release any real information besides what one could've seen in the pictures of the Focus Electric.
