Thanks to everyone who showed up and help set the new record. Have not seen so many FFEs in one place ever - even on dealer lots. :) http://insideevs.com/official-new-guinness-record-ev-parade-set-507-vehicles-pics-video/

OK we have the sign-ups now to break this record. Everybody who signed up please do show up at 7 am on Saturday at De Anza College. :D

Yes, I think FFE is underrepresented going by the sales numbers. There should be at least 20 if there are 200+ Leafs. We need 100 more EVs. We have 90 hours. Crunch time.

Please sign up for the rally next Saturday morning: https://driveelectricweek.org/event.php?eventid=162 We have 14 FFEs so far out of 370 EVs registered. We need a total of 481+ I think there are a lot more FFEs in Silicon Valley Free T-shirt and Doughnuts/Coffee for everyone.

Actually it is no big deal. Just Google "CA EV rebate" and follow step by step instructions. I got my check within 60 days after applying. The fed credit I will get when fill up my turbo tax online next year.

Any car sold in 2012 irrespective of model year qualifies for 7500 tax credit. You got to have 7500 in federal taxes to get the credit. 2500 rebate exists in CA until the rebate program runs out of funds but the program still has 15 million. So it is not going to run out anytime soon. There are...

I have a Volt and a Focus Electric. I had an extra 120V Voltec Charge Cord to use on the go but since I just use 120V to charge my Focus (25 mile total commute), I was thinking of just using the cord in the FFE as the one on the go. I discovered to my surprise that it does not work with the FFE...

Finally got mine from Harrold Ford, Sacramento. They had the only car with the specs I wanted - Frosted Glass/Silver with no leather within a 150 mile radius. Got a few dealers here like Morgan Hill Ford and Fairfield Ford to do invoice price but they just did not have the car. Harrold Ford...

Bluegreen thanks for you input. I am still waiting for my car to arrive. Your experiences are so far similar to mine. Now the price of the car has dropped below MSRP in most dealerships. If you do not mind could you please tell how much below? Though your trade-in complicates the picture a bit...

Ford priced the FFE too high. I do not know what they were thinking. The fully loaded titanium model has invoice of 24K. Ford saved at least 4K by replacing the gas drive train (engine + control + 6 speed trans) with a simple motor + 1 speed. Add to this battery at $500/Kwh and the invoice...

Just noticed an ad from Fairfield Ford for 36,825 for the base model with cloth. That is below invoice. I someone buys from them please let me know. I am waiting for my order from Morgan Hill Ford. I might ask them to match the price.

It is because of their broken registration system. I tried to register twice couple of months back. I am still waiting for the moderator to activate my account. If you do not allow the forum to expand, it dies a slow death.

Glad to be of help. Out of all the Ford dealers nearby I found Sunnyvale Ford to be the most unprofessional. I think because of their central location they get a steady stream of well salaried customers many of whom do not do their homework and then they can take them for a ride. When I went...

Morgan Hill Ford has a orphaned Frosted Glass one for 2.5K under MSRP. Talk to internet manager Mark Shields. I have already ordered a particular one with them and am waiting for that one.

I hope you have a sales contract. Take a look at this: :shock: http://fordfocuselectric.com/forums/3-ford-focus-electric-owners-forum/424-i-got-call.html The 2013 model is identical in MSRP and features to 2012. Fast DC charging will not happen until 2015 model I think. The SAE standard...

Was is MSRP or MSRP+ for you?

Currently prices have fallen to about $4/watt installed for commercial installers before any rebates. I am an engineer - designed the system and purchased the parts myself and got a contractor to do the installation. It cost me $3/watt before the rebates. After the rebates here is CA (bot state...

Frontier Ford had 2 vehicles delivered yesterday - 1 demo, 1 presold. They will get 10 more over the next 2, 3 weeks - 6 yet be sold. No markup but not budging from MSRP. Looks like the cars are in high demand. I think it is mostly due to the poor supply.

I do not have any batteries. I feed excess power back to the grid and use the grid as my "giant battery". The bi-directional utility meter records the debits and credits. You will need an inverter to feed back to the grid if you generate DC like Solar panels. In case of a water turbine you...

What RwBill said is correct. I have a grid tied solar system on my roof here in the Bay area. It is sized to offset the yearly use of 2 EVs. I currently have the Volt and it is offsetting its charging requirement quite nicely. In fact there is a surplus now to be used up when I get the FFE or...
