    Navigation And Shortcuts

    I looked at plugshare and there is one EV chg station listed in Jacksonville. It is at the Nisson dealer andi should have thought of that. In terms of the cars nav system and the area I was in there were no new roads. I tried to set a new destination today in my driveway by entering the address...

I am normally sleeping as the car charges, but occationally I have heard the cooling fan come onduring a chg. I have been doing this...

Was told about a shortcut with the added benny of by-passing a cogested area. Had 61 miles showing to take...

    Driving electric on packed snow - review

    Not much experience driving in snow or ice here in Wilmington NC. Home late from a business trip last month had two of us driving into Wilm at about midnight. Ice storms had about shut the city down. Pulled into the office parking lot and it looked just like an ice rink. Took about a half hour...

    Six months, 11,500 miles

    I am pretty much surprised with the FFE. I bought from an out of town dealer as my city is not large enough to have a Ford Electric dealer. My dealer is about 135miles from home so if it has to go into the dealer for work it means renting a trailer or a long tow. I have used the car for 10...

    A Good Second Car for Focus Electric Owners

    Even though I enjoy my FFE, and most of my driving these days is in the FFE, my second car is my 911 and I enjoy that as much as I do the FFE.

    First Issue

    No, the only recall notice I have received so far was for the led lamps associated with the parking lamps. It will be a big deal for me to get my car into a dealer. My local dealer is not an electric dealer and the closest one is out of range so I will be towing or trailering the car. I did read...

    First Issue

    I have had my FFE for about six months now and I have 4,500 miles on it. I love the car and it fits the intended commute purpose well. I have an old 911 for when I need extra legs. Drove into town yesterday to do a bit of shopping. Finished and began the trip home. I stopped at a stop sign...

    Door Handle Lock/Unlock

    Have noted that my driver door handle stops working to lock and unlock the car by touch when it is raining. I have been using the passenger door handle. Has anyone else noted this?

    Recall notice on Ford Focus Electric and Focus ST

    I checked this morning and my lights don't come on. My local dealer(s) do not sell FFE and I purchased from a dealer about 140 miles distant. I am not going to arrange transport for this level of issue. But, maybe the local dealer can do this as it does not seem FFE specific. I'll call.

    First Glitch

    I have about 2k miles on my FFE and have not had any car induced issues or problems. I have caused a few but the car has been trouble free. This one is almost not worth reporting. Yesterday the cruise control would not turn on. I stopped on my way home and turned the car off then back on and the...

    First Electric Bill

    I have been driving my FFE for almost two months and have just received my first electric bill covering all of the car charging for a month. I guess I am happy with the end result. I looked at myfordmobile and did the arithmetic to find out what my average wH/m was and then used that to estimate...

    Battery Completely Drained Overnight. Won't Charge. Help!

    The 12V battery does in fact need to have a charge in order to get any of the computer stuff active, such as start, stop, lights, chimes, ect. The on-board charger will charge the 12V battery through a DCDC converter. But, the high voltage drive battery will not charge the 12v battery. Someone...

    1000 Miles

    I purchased my FFE over the Memorial Day holiday and now have just over 1000 miles put on over the past month. All of my miles have been work commute and around home errands. To date I have had zero issues with the car. It has done everything that I expected and more. I had a longer learning...

    Software Revision Level

    OK, I followed the link AireV provided and found that I have Sync VersionGen2 - V3.5.1 installed. This is the new version that has been discussed on the forum that is now available. I wondered, my car is new but I believe it had been on the lot for a while. Mark

    500 Miles

    Arrived home last night and plugged in my charger as is becoming my habit. The car normally takes 2-2.5 hours to charge after a 48 mile commute. The battery normally is in the 40-50 mile remaining range when the charge begins. I went out to the garage an hour or so later and heard a strange...

    Technical Manual

    Yes, I have found the two sites offered. Actually, the type of information I am after-- * What loads are handled by the 12V battery and what is the charge sequence when the car is charging. * What actually makes up the battery heating and cooling, we know there is a liquid part, we presume a...
