Hi Fluke, Awesome Ford Focus electric and great to have you on the focus electric forum. Couple quick questions: -What was the difference between Oxford White and Platinum White? -Did Ford really charge you an extra $495 for platinum white? Very sweet tint job. Makes the car look really...

So far the ford focus electric comes in colors of: Ingot Silver Tuxedo Black White Platinum ($495 extra) Blue Candy ($395) Frosted Glass Oxford White My favorite color for the focus ev right now is probably the Blue Candy. That would be cool if the ford focus electric forum had polls. What...

I just read this on the ford focus electric section of Ford's website and found this little fact if true very interesting. "Q. Will the maintenance cost over a few years be more or less than a similar gas engine vehicle? A. Focus Electric has fewer moving mechanical parts than a conventional...

Thought I would post the Alicia Silverstone video that just came out. I will say this was a very clever promotion for the focus electric. http://screen.yahoo.com/alicia-silverstone-s-san-francisco-plugged-in-yahoo-screen-29452923.html I really like how the competition is being done and the...

I have a quick question about the Ford Focus electric in carpool lanes. It seems based on early reports that 65 mph is the ideal peak speed for the focus ev. Are there not some single carpools lanes with a speed of 70 mph in California? How would this impact the Focus ev long trip driving and...

When I stumbled upon this company that makes electric vehicles I was in awe. Just the Venturi gallery on the home page is a wow. The focus electric forum community I think would enjoy some of this electric car eye candy: http://www.venturifetish.fr/ If this is where electric vehicle...

Hi Rwbill, Thanks for posting that Ford focus electric pamphlet. One fact on it I found interesting was this one: "Estimated cost to fully charge vehicle: $2 to $3 (based on nationwide average cost of $0.10 per kWh)" I looked it up and the nation average is more around $.11 - $.12 cents...

Hi Voltcrazy, What is a "Chademo port"? I have never heard of this ford focus electric accessory. Also have you checked out the CODA? Seems like a reasonable competitor to the focus electric.

I will third this idea as well. I just learned that ford focus electric made an appearance at an event called "Race at the Cape". This group also seems to have some unique events on electric cars / green energy as well: http://www.capemayforum.org/programs.html...

Wow awesome - I can't believe an actual representative from Ford motor company stopped by the ford focus electric forum to keep us all updated on the Ford focus ev mobile app. Thanks Joe! So cool to see you hear. I still can not find the app for download anywhere. I did however read about...

I am pretty sure the ford focus electric was backed by heavy government funding. If the government is going to give you millions/billions of dollars to help develop and ev I am not sure how you would pass that up. I think the biggest reasons people need incentives is because the prices for...

I noticed Ford barely updates the above Twitter at all (early may was the last post). Its disappointing they do not put more up to date information about the focus electric out. Maybe they should hire a new/better social media manager. For my focus ev updates I have been using this Twitter...

A year and a half later and still no real reports of consumers getting there hands on the Focus EV. I am with you "dreamer" the wait has been long enough. Come on Ford! Let some of the ford focus electric forum members have their focus electrics already. Even Ford's main selling point over...

I have been looking for some financial statements on the ford focus electric and have can not come up with anything substantial. Now I turn too the ford focus electric forum searching for a better perspective on how the focus electric contributes to Ford's bottom line. Some interesting facts I...

What I do not get is whats the point of limiting these electric vehicles to such small release quantities. Ford seems to be doing the same thing with the Focus EV. With all the government money pumped into these electric car releases its hard to understand why there are so many delays and...

Just the picture of this electric car is fantastic: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/alternative-fuel/electric/buckeye-bullet-shoots-to-307-mph-electric-car-speed-record-at-bonneville Its hard to imagine that an electric car battery could power a vehicle to go that fast. It would be so...

Hi klaus, What do you mean when you say the electric car is "built from the ground up"? I was always under the impression the Ford Focus Electric was built entirely in the States at a production facility in Michigan. The Focus EV is also supposed to be at the forefront of electric vehicle...

It is really hard to find quality workers when it comes to home construction and re-modeling. On top of there are a lot of scams and other shady aspects of the business. I think it would nice if Ford had a list of pre-screened general contractors that they could recommend to install the Ford...

Do not get me wrong the Ford Focus Electric looks nice but the Tesla Model S is on another level when it comes to both looks, performance and technology. Are these cars really going to be available this year? This car simply looks ridiculous and with a 300 mi drive time and only a 5 hour...

I know the Ford Focus Electric is only available in a few states but my assumption is they plan to roll it out country wide eventually. Doing some research I noticed that Georgia ($5000 rebate) and Colorado ($6000 rebate) seem to be the most electric vehicle friendly states as far as tax...
