    Free adapter?

    Seems some Mach E owners have started getting the adapters. The irony in that first sentence in the package "I want to personally thank you for being part of the Ford family and for joining the Electric Vehicle revolution ahead of the curve" is a slap in the face. Must be nice not getting the...

    New Tires

    Discount Tire here in Florida mounted my BridgeStone Potenza Sport tires. Make the FFE handle like its on rails and provide very good grip for rainy conditions. They are however noticeably louder than the stock LRR tires.

    Replace 12V lead battery with lithium-ion

    I've been running an Ohmmu 12V Lithium battery since March of last year and had no issues (Previously had it in my 2012 FFE, and now use it in my 2017), other than fitment the first time (Terminals sit higher, but it will fit in the same space as the lead acid battey). At the time I bought the...

    Custom battery upgrade?

    You should check out ivankovff's post on here (Or his YouTube channel). I think he's increased the capacity to 55 kWh. It's an interesting build! I've attached a link to his post that he made: https://www.myfocuselectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5146

    Is There a Way to Force Charging?

    Yes, you can remove the cover for the battery while the pack is still in the car. I'd do it time to time when I to see how much quicker the car would accelerate :lol: . You'll want to remove the screws circled in green, along with the ones on the back of the cover. The front of the cover has a...

    Battery Availability for 2014 FFE

    Unless you want to add another $3,600 to $14,000 to that price tag, you should avoid buying any Focus Electric between the model years 2012 through 2016. These are known for having issues such as a coolant leak inside the upper battery pack or having faulty 1 speed gear drives (Check the Ford...

    Free adapter?

    I asked a Ford customer service rep in an online chat. She claims it won't exclude the 2017 through 2018 FFE's, so I guess we'll find out when one of us becomes the forum "validator" and get the adapter.

    Refurbished Upper HV Battery, HELP with Start-up After Install

    For the BECM DTC "U3000:46" that you're getting in one of your pics, have you already did a self test on the BECM yet with Forscan after rebuilding the battery pack? If not, clear the current DTCs, and then run the self test on the BECM. (see second pic for more info from FFE workshop manual)

    23kw battery replacement

    ener-z sells both batteries for $1,800 each. The even offer a financing plan with shop pay. I would try to get a 2017 or higher battery, as there were quite a few of the 2012-2016 model years that got the newer 33 kWh pack after their 23 kWh pack failed. But before that, you should get in...

    Help buying a SOBDM

    Have you checked https://www.car-part.com/ ? Should be under the option Year(Choose your Focus Model Year)-Ford-Focus-Hybrid Converter/Inverter-(electric vehicle, EV), converter. You'll need to sort it by highest to lowest price, as the FFE and gas Focus are mixed together in the listings. The...

    Tire Rotation

    Oh wow, nice find! So, every 6,000 miles. Guess I need to do mines also.

    My 2017 FFE with Method MR501 Rally Wheels

    Thought I'd share some pics of the wheels on my 2017 FFE. They're Method MR501 Rally Wheels, and they're very durable and bring out the look of the FFE in white. Now I to have my windows tinted and smoked LED mirror turn signals to complete the look :P .

    Battery Control Module A Performance + Coolant pump A circuit performance / stuck off

    Have you ran a self-test on the BECM? When I rebuilt my pack, I was getting DTC's until I did a self test in Forscan.

    Adding Extra Battery Power to FFE

    When I rebuilt the battery in my first FFE, I was unable to drive the car because I forgot a busbar between two modules :lol: . Once I bolted that in, I ran a self test on the BECM through Forscan, and checked/cleared any DTCs. You have to go to the DTC (left side of window in Forscan) tab to...

    Check your coolant levels

    "Reman" is remanufactured. Ford buys most of the battery packs from wrecked FFE's, takes the good modules, and builds another battery out of them.

    P0AA6 Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault

    I also have the 2 post on here from when I did the coolant bypass, if that helps: (removing the pack, although you can probably get away without having to do that. You should remove the rear seats though) http://www.myfocuselectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4966 (tearing the pack apart and...

    P0AA6 Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault

    2 years ago when my internal coolant leak happened at 60,000 miles, my 2012 FFE was throwing DTCs P0AA6 and P1A0A. P0AA6 is battery isolation fault, or 1 leg of the high voltage potentially conducting through the battery case via leaked coolant inside the case. P1A0A is thrown when P0AA6 is...

    Coolant Change. Use forscan to get the air out?

    Not sure if this helps, but when I was in the process of removing my 1 speed geardrive/ motor assembly for replacement, if 12 Volt power is still connected and you open the driver side door, the water pumps will come on for a couple seconds to cycle coolant through the loop. It was a pretty...

    Clunk in Transfer Case (Video)

    DIY wise, if you ever swapped or removed a motor/tranny in a gas car before, it is hilariously easier to do in the FFE. Definitely much less disconnect and much lighter to pull around. After me and my Dad dropped the assembly we dragged it out from underneath the car. This is the "extension"...

    Clunk in Transfer Case (Video)

    Hopefully it isn't the issue I had with my 2012 FFE (spider gears took a dump). I will do post on here pretty soon, but longy story short I bought a 2018 motor/tranny assembly from https://www.car-part.com for $350 (came to $650 total when shipping is included. The 2017-2018 assembly has...
