    Graphics/Decals anywhere?

    http://www.myfocuselectric.com/forum/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&author=jachady&start=10 I think it's kind of obvious which one is JAchady's haha.

    Graphics/Decals anywhere?

    JAchady does have some huge ones on his. It's neon green approximately 2' tall letters that say "Electric" down the side. There are also some smaller EV decals he put on. I'd take a picture for you but it looks like the mrs. has the FFE today. I'll ask him if he has some pictures he could...

    Why You Should Get a Ford Focus Electric Now

    **EDIT** My previous post was found to be false after I did a little more digging, this is straight from the owners manual this time. The quick charging is available, however it is not recommended when the battery is in below freezing temperatures or conversely high temperatures. Also...

    FFE Arrived earlier than expected

    Congratulations! The last 4 I've sold have come in at almost exactly 8 weeks. I think Ford is starting to get the process down now that they are seeing the demand is there! (I hope!!) -Zjlange12 Havill-Spoerl Ford Lincoln Fort Atkinson, WI

    I don't think ford wants to actually sell these cars.

    The WI gentlemen is the New Car Inventory Manager at the dealership I work at. We generally team up on the FFE deals, and we are both active on here whenever we can be. We currently have a white FFE with the cloth interior in transit to our lot, I believe JAchady posted in his sticky thread...

    Thermal management when not plugged in....?

    That makes much more sense, I guess the remote start option would be the best way to go about it then. Reflective sunshades, cracking the windows, parking in shade whenever possible. I have also seen trailer hitches installed on FFE's for bike racks, so perhaps plugging in at a 3rd party...

    Thermal management when not plugged in....?

    I don't see a security issue with leaving the car running. With the remote start, the car still can not be driven away until you get in with the key and press start. As for the honk feature, it's not just the FFE it's any ford vehicle with the keyless system (I.E. my 2011 Ford Fiesta has the...

    Tony's tips for new buyers of FFE

    This tip, I half agree with. If I want to close another deal at the end of the month, depending on the negotiations up to that point, I may call with a last ditch offer by the last week. The downside to that is I am not the only sales person in the showroom, and I've had plenty of customers...

    Tony's tips for new buyers of FFE

    Lying is never a good policy. If you've done your research, you should know what you want to pay for the vehicle. What you are calling and shopping for is a sales person that will remember you when you come in for service, who will grab you a loaner vehicle without a thought, who will order any...

    Better front license plate mounting?

    The picture posted previously, aside from being upside down, is mounted too high. One of my customers sent me pictures of exactly where they wanted there's to be last month. If installed correctly the bottom lip of the bracket should hook under neath the top of the bottom grill. I agree with...

    Daytime running lights

    http://www.myfocuselectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1589&start=10 This is the thread JAChady made about his adventure with the DRL's. I would still check with your dealer to see if they can simply "enable" the feature for you with a computer, but worst case scenario, show them that...

    Which hatchback should i buy?

    For a fuel efficient "Family Vehicle" the Focus is an excellent choice. The Ford Focus Electric is, in part, so popular because Ford took a great vehicle and made in an electric vehicle, whereas other manufacturers took EV technology and built a car around it. The Ford Fiesta is a great fuel...

    Daytime running lights

    My manager is leasing a FFE and he re-wired some things to get the DRL's to always be on. On other cars, like the Lincoln MKz, I've had our service technicians hook up the computer and it was as simple as enabling the feature in the car. Some states require DRL's, I believe, so depending on...

    Looking for used or new FFE details in post

    Fort Atkinson WI is a ways from boulder, but we are quickly becoming known for our customer service and knowledge in regards to these vehicles. If you search around the Forum for myself and JAChady, you will see we are very active on here. I'd say close to half of our FFE business has been out...

    Ford dealer won't (can't?) order FFE

    EV certification is a must. The certification process involves making the dealership as a whole eco friendly. The lot I work at in Fort Atkinson, WI went so far as to change all the light bulbs inside and out to more efficient ones, they changed out the high powered air filters in service to...

    How many FFE are sitting on dealer lots?

    If you are in the Midwest check out havill-Spoerl Ford Lincoln in Fort Atkinson. We are the number one dealer of the FFE in the Chicago region. I had a customer just last month that was dissapointed with the service in twin citties and came to see us. The biggest draw for our customers is...

    Average waiting time experienced once order is placed

    Most of my orders have been on the lot in the 8-12 week time frame. Ford needs to get better processes in place for sales consultants to keep there customers up to speed, at least more detailed information on it's location and ETA. One factor that can play a role as well is the dealership that...
