Hi James. I am located just outside Saint John, NB and I am "Our FFE" in Atlantic Canada - one of the other two cars in the area. My commute is 120 km (75 miles) a day, currently 6 days a week; about 75% highway 25% secondary roads; I watch my speed which is key to mileage. My employer has...

I searched this question for LEAF and it appears a a LEAF has passed 100,000 miles. http://insideevs.com/first-nissan-leaf-in-u-s-passes-100000-miles/

My 2012 FFE with be turning 25,000 miles (40,000 km) this week. My car sat for two years on a lot before I took delivery about 14 months ago and I am adding 1,500 miles a month. I am hoping to see a life time range of 200,000 miles and 10 years battery life. What is your model year and...

I have a 2012 FFE and an in Saint John New Brunswick. Took delivery the end of April 2014, the car was on a dealer lot in Ontario for 2 years and I got it for less than CAD$ 25,000 with 2,800 km on it. As of the evening the car has 35,000 km (almost 22,000 miles). My commute is about 75%...

I finally got some time this evening and call In Vehicle Technical Support. They call dealers response ridiculous; confirmed my VIN, mailing address and said they would drop a pre-loaded USB in the mail. Delivery is expected to be 3 weeks; I'll post an update once I finally get it installed...

Finally got to dealer to have Sync 3.6.2 update installed. I waited to combine visit with my 32,000 km (20,000 mile) warranty check. I passed along the "Give this to your dealer sheet" that spells out what update is to be installed. Ford.com site shows NO SYNC SOFTWARE UPDATES. After some...

Many thanks for the assistance. :D I registered at syncmyride.com as suggested and it says I have V3.1.3. I have printed the "View All Available Updates" page for the Dealer to upgrade to V3.6.2. I wait until I am due for my next service in a couple of months to get update installed...

Matt, I have a 2012 FFE Canadian Spec as well and am also missing my "EV/Leaf" button. The car sat on a lot outside Windsor Ontario for two years before I purchased in April. Selecting "? HELP" then "SYSTEM INFO" on SYNC got me to the software info. It is showing "CCPU S/W...

The little bit of reading I have done says the FFE has an external speaker but it is not used. Some time ago FFE Facebook page apparently had 4 sound that folks could vote on in case legislation required it in future. I have 2012 FFE and have not located the external speaker if one exists...

Thanks to Hurricane Arthur there are a few thousand trees down in my neighbour. Why we were not directly effected some have been without power for a week. This has got me looking for backup power to run the fridge and freezer I have purchased a 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter for $250 that I...

In the end I ended up with a Canadian Car so no warrantee issues. :P

I have had my 2012 Ford Focus Electric since April this year. I had my car guy find one outside Windsor Ontario with 2800 km (1750 miles) on it for $25,000 before taxes FOB my town. There is no rebate for any EV's in New Brunswick so I had to pay 13% sales tax to register the car. I had a...

We picked up car yesterday after work. Had seen it the previous evening just off the car carrier. It travelled the milk route from Ontario with a number of cars that driver was committed to deliver first. FFE spent four days on a car carrier, turned on but with parking brake set, and had to be...

I am taking possession of a used 2012 Frosted Glass FFE next week and finally got the VIN. My wife was told the car had "premium" speakers installed on this former "Ford Executive" car. This is not an option so I needed to find the build sheet and having the VIN and internet this would be...

I got a call this evening from my car guy and apparently I am the owner of an 2012 FFE Ice Storm with leather and 1750 miles (2800 km) on it, final cost less than CAN$ 25,000 (US$ 22,750) before taxes; I know I over paid but I don't think they sold 100 cars in a population the size of...
