Just think how well Ford's sales would have done if they had the Ford Focus Electric for sale too :)

When I first read this I thought that Ford was releasing a Ford Focus Electric ST, but then when I re-read it I realized that Ford is releasing the Ford Focus Electric, and the Ford Focus ST - just a bad choice of a short news title!

I agree that the Spark is a closer competitor to the Ford Focus Electric Forum than the Chevy Cruze is - but I think the point is that if a cheap little car like the Chevy Cruze can be driven with that sort of fuel economy, then there will be a lot less people looking to buy the Ford Focus...

There's been years of on and off rumors that Honda may be reviving the NSX, or at least building a successor to their supercar. Now, Honda CEO Takanobu Ito has confirmed that his company is hard at work developing a "sports car like the NSX". MotorTrend predicts that the new NSX will be a...

I agree that Nissan is really moving on the whole electric vehicle market with their Leaf, and Ford really needs to hit their target launch dates with the 2012 Ford Focus Electric. They can't afford to be any later to the game if they want the Ford Focus Electric to be a success!

It's pretty much every day - just wait until the Ford Focus Electric is available and see how many charging stations go up around the country/world! The Nissan Leaf will be in Canada soon so there will be a ton of charging stations going in around the Vancouver area any day now. Ford hasn't...

I agree that the longer Ford waits, the more likely it is that people will look to other electric vehicles or plug in hybrids like the Toyota Prius or Mitsubishi i-Miev instead of the Ford Focus Electric. In order to win back market share, Ford will have to price the Ford Focus Electric lower...

Welcome to the Ford Focus Electric forum, FocusEVGuy! I checked out your electric Ford Focus, pretty cool stuff. While I go agree that electric vehicles are overall simpler than gasoline cars, I think it's taking Ford a long time because it's new. Anything new is always harder, even if it's...

Sorry about that - I just noticed that this is the Ford Focus Electric forum! I thought I was on the Nissan Leaf forum not the Ford Focus Electric forum!

From looking around on Google, it doesn't look like there's much information from Ford on purchasing options yet. I can assume that the Ford Focus Electric will be lease-able just like a normal 2012 Ford Focus would be. One thing that's for sure is that the Ford Focus Electric battery pack will...

Whit - did the inspector come yet? Did you pass? :!:

I'm sure Vancouver BC will be one of the first Canadian cities to get the Ford Focus Electric - that's what Nissan is doing with the Leaf electric vehicle isn't it? This list for the 2012 Ford Focus Electric is only U.S. cities... just like Nissan started in it's home country of Japan with the...

Here's a link to the article: http://rumors.automobilemag.com/washington-wants-to-pull-plug-on-range-anxiety-with-nations-first-electric-highway-60451.html

With the coming of more electric vehicles in the next 18 months, the Ford Focus Electric being the most exciting, Washington state transportation officials announced on Thursday that they are partnering with AeroVironment to install quick chargers along the whole stretch of the I5. This would...

Over on the Nissan Leaf forum (http://www.mynissanleaf.com) people are easily getting 80 miles on a charge, so 12 miles on most of a charge (let's say 20 to fully dead) would really be some heavy foot driving! You've driven the road? How is it? Did you break any speed laws?
