Ford had a huge display at the Chicago Auto Show this year, with the Fusion energi plug-in hybrid, the C-max energi plug-in hybrid, and the Ford Focus Electric all hanging around for people to look at.
Ford claims the Ford Focus Electric will have an MPGe rating and a solar recharging option, and Ford also says it charges faster than the Nissan Leaf. With a 240V charging station, the Ford Focus Electric will charge in 3-4 hours.
The Ford Focus Electric will seat 5, with the back seat having 3 belts. The middle position is fairly small.
The Ford Focus Electric will also work with the Ford mobile app and will allow the driver to control a few key functions remotely, such as charging settings, and pre-cooling or pre-heating the interior while the car is hooked up to the grid. This will help minimize range impact since the Ford Focus Electric will be pre-heated when the driver unplugs.
Still no word of range yet on the Ford Focus Electric.
