    Charge Door Decal

    I just went the cheap route, I saw a pic online I liked, then printed it out, and took some vinyl and an exacto knife and trimmed it. Cost a whole $2 in vinyl.

    Charging in a warm or hot enclosed space, like a garage

    I live in Vegas, and I've had my focus out in 118 degree weather, and the fans come on fast and loud when pulling in and charging after driving all day. And still have had no problems with my focus, runs just like when I bought it. (14,000 miles on it now).

    Ford service

    My car works perfectly with no problems, but got the same "warning light on" notifications and a "Battery System Health" red icon on the app/site. It happened the minute I updated the my ford app on my phone.

    Any Phoenix Drivers?

    It was a mild 102 degrees today and I snapped a pic of the dash to show the difference between AC off and AC on full blast. As you can tell my status dropped -4 miles (from 93 to 89) with the AC, but still dont think having the AC is much of a range killer. (now the heater in winter, thats where...

    Any Phoenix Drivers?

    Im not in Phoenix, but in Las Vegas. And had no problems with my FFE this year, you will get some of the "its hot outside plug vehicle in when not in use" messages. I didnt see any problems during the summer, and I get the message that said something like "power will be reduced do to heat" or...

    Time Of Day Charging- New to FFE have LEAF

    Actually Ford already does this for you. The FFE on charges its battery to 80% capacity. (I think they did it to make the battery packs last longer in hot weather). It kinda of sucks as the range could be more, but Id rather my battery last longer. (the FFE will charge up 19.5 kWh, off a 23 kWh...

    Focus has limited performance due to hot temperatures

    Jasper7821, being in Vegas we have about the same temp problems youz do. What I did was get the proper tint on the windows. And im not talking about dark tint. What you need is the crystalline/nano tint. (you can get it in all shades, i got a tint thats almost transparent). With the...

    Focus has limited performance due to hot temperatures

    So kmaluo, did you pre condition your car ? And ouch Black paint. I live in Vegas, and have a White FFE, and drive with my AC on, and have yet to get any message. (ran a diagnostic test and came back good). It was 102-105 out this week in the sun, (temp gauge showed 106 downtown while...

    current sales figures?

    1104 :lol: Compared to our FFE, there were more Ferrari sold last year, 3,577, then what Ford has sold last year and probably this year combined. So you can tell people FFE's are rarer then Ferrari hand down...lol. (Funny but true, I see a minimum of least 2 Ferraris each day here in Vegas...

    Still missing the elusive 100 mile charge by a tiny bit...

    Im noticing there are people getting 110-127 miles on myFord in my region, and im trying my best to get near it, but still just falling short of the 100 mark. How can I get the extra few miles im missing ? Ive been stuck in the 88-95 range, and last night I hit 97, but no matter how close to...

    Inside the trunk of the Ford Focus Electric

    Agree with Jeff, remove the stupid trunk organizer. It just takes up space and adds weight.

    Break In...?

    Also, its the roads that can make a difference with your milage. (here in Vegas our roads are always being worked on and repaved and even the beltways are new and smooth, especially when comparing the roads I was on in PA). As you can see in the PDF, Rolling resistance is 1 percent, smooth roads...
