Personally, if I lived in one of the 12 states that Hyundai Iqonic Electric 2020 with 170 miles , I would just get another cheap lease. They had 2019 with 124 mile range for $79 on east coast. Pretty cheap transportation! My wife and I are getting a RAV4 hybrid when lease up on Honda Clarity...

So sorry to hear you are having charging issues. I am glad car charged fine at Charge Point and evse was not an recall item. It is good to know no recalls on the car. For myself, it was an electrician friend, who installed for $75 plus parts. It cost $175 to install the TurboChord, plus cost of...

Stop charging immediately. There was a recall on the Ford 110v charger due to fire hazard. Make sure it has been replaced. Have an electrician check your household circuit for proper set-up. Run Vin # through NHSTA to see if your car was part of recall. Silver Rabbit 2017 Ford Focus Electric...

Please go to thepaulstrory.wordpress.com. It is the best explanation that I have seen. Silver Rabbit 2017 Ford Focus Electric 2017 Honda Clarity Electric 2017 Chevrolet Impala

Please go to “Topping of Bad for Battery” topic. They meant topping off. In this string of dialogue, there is a place that states Ford has SOC at 100% actually only charges to 90% of capacity and SOC at 0% actually is 10%. That is 20% of 23 KWh battery - very close to the useable 18 KWh when...

I would check used car prices on CarGurus and cars.com. Does the car serve your needs? Would a newer model with a longer range be a better choice? It all depends. The cost of new will be more. Sales tax should not make a difference-pay it regardless. The range of 100 to 125 miles serves me...

I use a TurboChord. It is 240v 16amp. It puts out 3.6 KWh per hour. It is portable. Cost $199 now. Only draw back is the unique plug. I found that slower charging is not an issue as we charge two EV cars at night time. Each fully charged in the morning. We have two plugs/two chargers. Silver...

Make sure that all recalls on the car have been done - run the vin number at NHTSA. Call Ford to see. Owner if original should have paperwork from dealer when completed. There was a stall problem with early ones that they corrected with software upgrade. That is a good price provided recalls...

Check out ford.com - scroll down and you will see a surprise. It is coming 2020!

I guess a step backwards, but Sunrise Ford has a new 2015 Ford Focus Electric for 19,999 on cars.com. Just make sure that modem was updated. Maybe a lease? Could be inexpensive? Silverrabbir1954 2015 FFE (retired) 2017 FFE (leased) 2017 Honda Clarity Electric (leased)

My reservation for Model 3 came up, but could not swing payment and insurance. My lease was up on 2015 FFE. Antelope Valley Ford had an ad for a 2017 FFE with leather for $22,002 with the $3,000 Ford purchase rebate ($25,002 for 9.5% sales tax). I asked for a lease comparison. They came back...

My Dad and I went to the L A Auto Show on Monday, November 23, 2015. Ford had one Focus Electric on display. Ford rep was down talking the car to a person who was asking questions about the car. The gentleman did not know Ford had a pure electric. The rep had only negative comments about the...

Our leased 2015 FFE has been recalled for this safety recall. It came in the mail today. I will take to dealer on Monday. It has shown no issue to date. We have had for one month. It has been great so far. No gas purchased this month! Silverrabbit1954 2015 FFE 2014 Fusion Energi 2010...
