My part finally came in (after I called the dealership again of course... since they weren't organized enough to call me). Currently sitting in the service lounge waiting for them to "inspect" the vehicle (what a joke). This after I already brought the vehicle in once and they inspected the...

I'm beginning to hate Ford and Ford service with the strength of a thousand suns. I took my charger in 3-4 weeks ago, and they confirmed that it was eligible for replacement (I would hope so, since the rubber is melting away) and I was told the part wasn't available (despite the most recent...

So my dealer is claiming they have to keep my car for half a day in order to replace the EVSE. They're claiming there's some kind of inspection that has to happen. This is a giant pain in the ass for me since I have to drop off my car, get a ride to work, get a ride back to the dealership later...

Has anyone gotten their replacement charger yet? My letter said they would send me another letter when it was available which I haven't received yet. Just checked my charger though and it had some serious heat damage. Rubber has melted a bit on the plug and one of the prongs is blackened. At...

So my 12-V battery has died 3 more times in the past year. Is it safe to assume I just need a new one at this point? I'm outside my 36-month bumper to bumper warranty period by about 3 months. Will Ford cover any of the cost of the replacement? Seems ridiculous I have to replace a battery with...

Ha! Totally missed that he was referencing the 2017 FFE! Makes way more sense now. Thanks for clarifying. Having these 2017 owners on the site is not going to be good for my range-envy!

What am I missing here? There is no way in the world my FFE would have between 105-117 miles of range if I drove at a constant 60-65 mph. Are people really achieving this kind of range? The longest trip I've attempted is a little over 80 miles and my FFE didn't quite make it (had to stop about 5...

Thanks everyone for the great feedback. One additional data point -- I checked the prices for the non-electric sibling of our Focus Electrics and the quote is exactly the same. Given the additional electronic complexity of our Focus Electrics, this might suggest they are under pricing these...

Not sure why the image of the quotes won't post, but you should be able to see it by going here: https://ibb.co/hvoODa

Hi all, I'm approaching the end of my 36-month bumper to bumper warranty and I'm considering purchasing an extended warranty through Flood Ford. Here are the current prices from Flood for my 2014 FFE. I note that they have gone up somewhat over the past few years, based on previous posts in...

First time this has happened to my FFE and I'm kicking myself for not following the popular advice on the forum to buy a small 12v charger. Questions: -I assume plugging it in won't solve this problem, correct? -Can I just jump the battery like I would an ICE car? -Anyone have any...

That all depends on your definition of worthless. These are very nice vehicles that even with a limited range of 80 miles per charge, will still be worth at least $5,000 (probably a little more) for those who want to use them for around town errands or short commutes. That might feel...

I agree for those who bought/leased a year or two ago. I just bought my FFE in November and after all the rebates and tax credits, my out-the-door cost for buying (I didn't lease) was about $17,000. Even with all the technological advances in the next 5 years, there is a floor to the amount...

Yeah, I figured I would mention it next time I take it in for something. I just feel a bit sheepish about ONLY taking it in for this. I'm still not pleased with the steering on my new FFE, so perhaps I'll talk to them about that and see if they can fix the squeak at the same time.

Do you mind sharing what you bought? I too am hoping I can buy a plug-in version. Do you have a easily accessible 240v outlet you plan to use?

So the one downside to the FFE being so amazingly quiet, is that I can hear every little rattle and noise inside the car (first world problems, I know). With our other ICE vehicle, the hum of the engine provides just enough white noise to drown out any little squeaks or rattles. The main...

Does the EVSE have to be bought AND installed in 2014 to qualify for the credit? I'd like to buy one before year end, but don't want to mess with the installation before year end.

Here's another deal on a Blink EVSE, that arrived in my inbox today. How does this compare to some of the other chargers? Through December 31, 2014, we are offering the Blink HQ, our residential EV charging station, for only $499.95! The Blink HQ offers great value and features, including...

Yes, please keep us posted!
