How is the range?

I would appreciate any feedback from others about which one is a better choice for me? It would be a third (around town car) and I am retired with Solar panels on my home's roof. It seems that the Energi has so little battery use and the Focus Electric may not give me the distance in a high altitud...

btw Juniper you'll be ordering a 2018 model I believe, because the 2017s are sold out. Might be a bit of a wait getting a 2018, as I ordered my 2017 on May 5th and have to wait till October to get it.

Hello Juniper, I leased a 2013 model for 3 years and returned to at the end of the lease because Ford was unwilling to budge on the $14000 buyback value. I have now ordered a 2017 focus electric and am going to now have the larger battery and much greater range, so leasing from this perspective real...

Thanks firetech! Congrats to you too! I ordered May 5th and they told me I'll get the car in October! Hope it's way sooner. I want to ditch this gasoline bill asap and get back to driving electric.

Thanks very much cutler for your informative reply! I can't wait for the car. I have test driven a Bolt and was impressed, but I've got a Model 3 on order and will skip the Bolt and wait for the Tesla. Soon to be a 2 EV, EV-only household. I have solar panels too, so our carbon footprint is about to...

I'm fairly certain thats an option NightHawk. I returned my 2013 but I recall them saying that I could extend the lease if I wanted to, instead of returning or buying it.

just noticed your post says you're in Michigan...

I've not found any either when I was looking a few months back. Honestly most of the ones from the 2012/2013 model years are just as good, as it's basically the same car. Just ignore any snark they give about the range or SYNC system, as both have been greatly improved now. If you find any for 2016...

Hello, I've been desperate to see some reviews on the 2017 Focus Electric, but there's nothing on google or YouTube! Can any of you who own a 2017 model do a video review and post to YouTube and link it back here please? I'm interested in seeing the interior and exterior, any changes, a discussion a...
