I just experienced this today. I have had my FFE approximately 60 days. I went on a small errand this morning. I left with 104 miles and returned with 96. I plugged the car in as I always do and it began to charge. Usually, this small a charge takes 20 minutes at most. So, I began waxing the...
Well, I promised to continue to provide a comparison between my two cars. Last night I drove at speeds from 10 to 70mph with the windows down. First the two front, then closed them. I then lowered both rears. Then I lowered all four. Guess what the FFE doesn't have that the Volt has to great...
MY VOLT VS MY FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC
I just got my Ford Focus Electric two days ago and will be providing a more detailed comparison as the miles build, however I have a few initial comparative points as follows:
RIDE:score one for my Volt. The Volt ride is softer and more relaxed than the FFE and...
Recently, from reading the volt forum, members seem to get better mileage using the drive mode while using the brake pedal for regeneration as opposed to placing the transmission into low for greater regen. It appears that while using the run flats, greater momentum is better than regen low for...
The tires cost $688 for a set of four. Removal of originals, Install run flats, and balance and align was $262.00 total $950. I also reused the tpms from the factory tires.
My Volt has the Bridgestones.
I think a contributing factor to frequent flats may be the inherent construction of the OEM LRR tires. I don't know enough about tire construction, but I would venture a guess that rolling mass is kept to a minimum to achieve LRR and consequently a compromise may...
I have been watching the mileage vs the charge. Since my volt is a 2014, the rated charge max is 38 miles. But as you know, temp, speed, and driving characteristics effects overall EV range. Prior to replacing the factory tires with the run flats, the most EV miles I got was 52. But the temp was...
I have just purchased a Ford Focus Electric and have had a Volt since December of 2013. This event and my solution are posted to provide an alternative solution to the factory's idea of a spare tire. I will be swapping out the OEM tires on the FFE as soon as I receive the car. This event...
I just received a build date of the week of June 4th. Any idea as to final delivery time?(2,3,4,5 weeks..or more?) Has anyone had a similar notice? Thanks
Hi everyone, I just purchased an Ice Blue with light stone leather interior. My dealer told me an expected delivery date of mid July, about 8 weeks. Is this accurate. What have others experienced in delivery time? Thanks.
