I bought my FFE new in July 2014. I went to the ford dealer and talked to the parts department. The FFE hood part number is the same as the part number for a standard Ford Focus. I also looked at the new 2014 FFE they have on the lot. The my new hood matched what is installed on the...

The body shop replaced my FFE hood due to an accident. The bottom side of the new hood looks nothing like the original hood. I am concerned that the new hood might be heavier and reduce the range of the vehicle. How can I determine if the new one is correct? The body shop showed me the...

http://www.cafepress.com/+electric-car+gifts I agree about bumper stickers... I finally bought a couple of car magnets... I'll see how that goes.

For those who have an OBD-II scanner successfully working with their FFE... Which OBD-II device are you using? Which of the two ODB ports under the dash do you use? What app are you using? and what device/platform are you running the app on? Thanks in advance!

I can't get a ScanTool OBDLink MX to communicate with my 2014 FFE. I have ODBLink app installed on a Samsung Android 4.4 (kitkat) and it successfully connects with the ODBLink using bluetooth. But the OBDLink is unable to communicate with the FFE. I tried plugging it into both the standard...

cafepress.com has bumper stickers and magnets that say things like "100% Electric" and "I burn electrons" etc.

I've seen that discussed elsewhere and it confused me why MyFordTouch is referenced instead of SYNC. Now I understand. The version of SYNC on the FFE is called MyFordTouch. Therefore AppLink does not work with the 2014 FFE.

Has anyone gotten *any* AppLink enabled app to work with their FFE? There are several AppLink enabled apps for the iPhone, but I haven't gotten any to connect to my 2014 FFE.

I looked at it again today and it's probably a little over 1/4", which is similar to the other Focuses... some were better, one was worse. I didn't have my phone with me to take a pic. But is seems consistent with the others.

The FFE I ordered arrived yesterday. I went to look at it and noticed the headlights are not flush wiht the body. Both headlights stick out about 1/2 inch from the body. Is that expected? I have not finalized the purchase yet and I don't know how concerned I should be.

I found some funny and interesting electric car bumper stickers etc. at cafepress.com (I am in no way associated with cafepress) I am not sure what the forum rules are for referencing websites like this or providing direct links.

Thanks everyone for such a great discussion. My FFE is started being built this week and is scheduled to arrive 7/3. So hard to wait! I love the idea of improving the aerodynamics of the underside of the car. Anyone think about replacing the hood with something lighter? (like the i3 does)

I am considering purchasing the Ford branded Levitron EVSE at http://ford.leviton.com/ I also like the portability of the Jesla at http://openevse-store.myshopify.com/products/quick-charge-power-jesla-is-the-40-amp-j1772-portable-charging-solution but I worry that it might not be compatible...

I am in the process of purchasing a FFE. But sometimes I still question that decision. I compared the total costs of leasing to the cost difference of purchasing/selling. Perhaps others have a more nuanced way of comparing. Predicting the resale value at some future time is difficult. Hard...

Congrats on the new Focus! I am still waiting for mine. One of the primary reasons I chose the the FFE was for it's temperature management of the batteries. It gets hot in Austin, but obviously not as hot as Phoenix. My understanding of Lithium-Ion batteries in general is that temperatures...

I've ordered a 2014 FFE and it's scheduled to arrive the second week in July. I'm very excited! Has anyone considered removing the back seat to reduce weight and increase cargo space?
