    help plz --- Which charger to buy

    That's a good choice. It's reliable but if something goes wrong, you can always take it back to Costco.

    upgrade from 2014 to 2018 FFE?

    I actually just sold my 15 FFE with leather and 38k miles for $11,600 in TX. I did the KBB instant cash offer after hearing about it here. I took it the first dealer that emailed me and they only offered $11,000 so I refused. I went to the second dealer and they offered the whole $11,600.

    just leased a 2018 FFE for 230/2600 all included, wear too

    No don't charge it for 30 minutes from a regular outlet. I think 40% to 80% is a good range for the battery to be in. Yes, being in extreme temperature is bad for the battery so keep it in the shade or garage if possible. Use plugshare and chargepoint apps to find free charging. If I lived in...

    20,000 Mile Checklist Maintenance

    The cabin air filter is cheap, about $14 on Amazon, maybe less if you look around or get an off brand. Link: https://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-FP-70-Cabin-Air-Filter/dp/B008PJDOSS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1524940506&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=ford+focus+cabin+air+filter...

    NEED ADVICE!

    Is 52 km one way or round trip? Are you quoting the price of the new one with or without incentives? Highway driving is not as bad as using heat in the winter. I would worry more about range when the temperatures are below 50F.

    whats the highest odometer reading on a FFE?

    Yeah. Just charge it and reset one of the trip meters on the left side display. Open your windows and turn the heat to max. Takes about 3 to 4 hours, when the car dies, you'll know how much battery capacity you have. I think the older FFE had 19-20 kWh originally.

    whats the highest odometer reading on a FFE?

    You may have battery fade and you might not know about it. Have you reset one trip meter and done a battery run down test?

    Bought a used Ford Focus, How much range should I get?

    Your typo gives you overestimation of your actual capacity. I can't believe you missed that triangles!

    Just bought a Certified 2017 FFE

    How much are you planning to sell it for?

    My experience with the new to me FFE so far...

    I'm surprised you are using value charging in Texas. Unless you have that free nights/weekend promotion. It's not really that good of a deal since peak is triple what others charge. I really miss the awesome electric deals in Texas where I was paying 2-4 cents per kWhr. Now it's closer to 7...

    Michelin OEM tires...anyone ever got a pro-rated refund?

    For defects and workmanship. I just bought a new car that has Kumho tires and it doesn't have a mileage warranty.

    Michelin OEM tires...anyone ever got a pro-rated refund?

    Aren't mileage warranties not applicable to new car purchases? At least that's what I've read in the last couple new cars I bought.

    Will a stroller fit?

    I don't have the exact stroller, but I have 3 that fit fine without removing the hatch cover. I have a chicco lightway plus, joovy caboose ultralight, and summer infant 3d light. They do take up most of the width and height of the cargo area.

    Questions Abour Choosing 240v Charging Stations

    I agree with this. I went with clipper creek because it was UL listed and had many connector options. I went with one that will connect to a dryer outlet.

    Tires

    I tried some cheap Vouge Signature all seasons tires and they were terrible and got about 10-15% less range. I'm using Continental Purecontacts now and they have better traction than the Energy Savers, but a decrease of 0-5% less range. Don't get summer tires, you will lose a lot of range.

    17.1 kWh @ 20,000 miles

    16 with 38,800 seems good to me. Just adding my info for data points. 16.9 kW with 22,500 miles on a 2015.

    Any Ford dealers to recommend in Houston for servicing FFE ?

    Not from Houston, but look for a dealer that sells new Fusion Energi and C-max Energi models. YMMV

    Looking to buy a used FFE

    I replaced my stock tires on 9/9 with some non-LRR tires, Vogue Signature V, and have noticed a 9% loss in range. Temperatures are about the same and so was tire pressure. My Wh/mi average was about 264, now it's 289. I just bought some Continental PureContacts and will mount them soon. My...

    Looking to buy a used FFE

    Don't get the turbocord, get this:https://store.clippercreek.com/all-products?product_id=121. It will charge faster and uses a dryer plug. I have the 25A version and use it when I drive to my parents' house 50 miles away.

    Question for Houston owners about my commute if I bought one

    I live in Dallas and there's more hills here. I take a trip that's 50 miles once or twice a month going about 70 mph with a/c on. Going there, about 30% battery capacity remain, going back about 20% remain. You should make your trip easily in this heat going 80 mph. It may be harder when it's...
