I was back in my neighborhood with about 18 KM left (the yellow low battery warning appears at 16 KM). I did run around my block until there was 10 KM or range left ... Sly

Hello Robin !! I'm glad to learn that I'm not ALONE anymore in my country !! Congratulations and let's share our Focus Electric experiences! Sly

38 FFE were sold in JULY in the United States. There is at least ONE FFE sold in Canada (me !!) :roll: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120802/AUTO0102/208020490/1361/Ford-sells-38-electric-Focus-cars-in-July-as-EVs-continue-to-be-tough-sell Sly

I'm almost at 3000 KM (1900 miles) in 3 weeks! So far I love it !! The fast recharging is it's main advantage. But I also like the iPhone app (updates are 3 times faster than the VOLT iphone app), and the range prediction is very precise! You can actually reset your trip meter when you want...

Congratulations Gatorman ... welcome to the CLUB! I got mine on July 12th ... so at about the same time as you !! I already have over 1200 Miles ! Sly

Yes, 4 hours and 48 minutes ... if you take 128 miles divided by 35 MPH, you get over 3 hours and a half ... add the coffee stops and walk stops I made, and it match. Yes I'm on Ford site, and got a «long distance on one charge achievement». But unfortunately, after the first stop (40 KM), I...

Charged Up: That makes a lot of sense. My initial estimate of 20.2-20.4 was too high. I you look at my last trip (almost 130 Miles on one charge!): http://www.myfocuselectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=663 We can see that I used 18.8 KwH, and with the 10 KM of range left, that would mean...

Rwbill !! Don't underestimate your FFE efficiency!! I did almost 130 MILES with a urban speed of 30-35 MPH under very good conditions !! COOL car !!

Hello everyone!! Okay, I did it last evening! As you can see with the pictures as proof, I ended with 207.3 KM (128.81 Miles) !! That means that 130+ MILES would have been possible since I had 10 KM left on the battery range! By the way, 18.8 KwH were used, and I still had 10 KM left...

I'm also charging at 100% ... I also found nothing about that in the owner manuel saying the contrary other than plugging the FFE as often as possible. Anyway, is the any settings in the FFE or the MyFordMobile App where you can set a maximum charge limit other than 100%? I estimate that we...

Ok Focus Electric owners !! We need some competition here :mrgreen: We know that the FFE EPA specs are 73 Miles range on one charge. Please POST here your best range on only one charge. Reset your TRIP 1 or TRIP 2 (use detailed so that we have the KwH used). The RULES are the following...

Hello georgek! The main reason I bought the FFE over other BEV'S is the fast 6.6 KW charging option ! I already have the SPX recommended for the VOLT by GM, but it's limited to 15 Amps / 3.3 KW ... which means it takes 7 hours to charge an empty FFE. I also have a second EVSE already...

Greetings to all current and future FFE owners !! I have great news to announce here ... the First FFE in Canada was sold on July 12th 2012, and I'm the LUCKY owner !! It's in the city of Trois-Rivieres, province of Quebec that the first FFE is located in Canada ... I will be regularly...
