How is the range?

Hi Juniper, My 2013 model with the 23kw/h battery (vs the 2017's 185km 33.5 kw/h battery) at its lowest was 80km in the winter, using heat (on and off) and mixed city and highway driving. The 2017 model will have probably 100km-110km at its lowest in similar circumstances (on fairly level...

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...

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...

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...

Thanks cutler, How is the range for you? What area do you live in? How does temperature affect your range? I found with my 2013 here near Toronto my range was anywhere between 80 (heat on in cold winter with some highway driving) to about 140-150km in the summer. I'm anxious to hear how...

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...

The Focus Electric deal that I just got was amazing. The 2017 lease payment (3 years) I have on this new car is literally HALF of what I paid for my 2013 Focus Electric! $245 a month taxes in! This includes 20,000km per year. The reason? Well there are a few reasons. Firstly Ford has...

Hello, After a long while, I'm back. I thought I'd posted an update but sadly I now see that I didn't. The conclusion of my SSN saga ended up ok. The dealership and Ford came through for us. They supplied us a cost-free rental while the car was being repaired. When we got our Focus back...

Got it back after 66 days in the shop. We will see if Ford actually provides any compensation. Hopefully the car makes it the last 6 months of the lease without any problems. I'll have to see if the range is what it used to be. Max range with all accessories off in temperatures at or just...

Oh, and the Ford "Customer Relationship" center kept repeating over and over to me after I told them I want compensation for gas, not having my Sirius radio, my two lease payments made during this fiasco (so far) and the extra lease mileage I pay for every month, that they are only required to...

The two month mark of the car being at the dealership was February 28th.....

The saga continues. I still don't have my car back. It was promised to me for last friday. After the Ford "Customer Relationship" department never called me back as promised, I had a meeting with the dealership sales and service managers. They promised to 'light a fire" under Ford to get this...

Well, I STILL don't have my car back....unbelievable. Wow Ford is really doing their best to turn me against them. The dealership seems to only have one technician who can work on EVs. First they replaced the battery wiring harness, saying that some part was cracked, and that in that...

Well it finally happened to me. I was bragging about how reliable this car was and my Wife and I were considering buying the vehicle when the 3 year lease is done 9 or 10 months. While driving on Christmas day the yellow wrench came on. We parked the vehicle in the garage overnight and...

It wouldn't surprise me! Ford does NOTHING up here to promote the FFE. I've had many people come up to me and tell me that they just bought a Focus and had no idea that there was an electric version. Many of them say that they would have bought one if they only knew, instead of the ICE...

Oops, I see WattsUp on page 1 seems to have answered my question. Any new info or disagreement?
