I am assuming that the Ford BEV SUV is going to be called the Mach 1. There are already commercials about the Mach1, https://insideevs.com/ford-confirms-mach-1-performance-suv-2020-launch/, but no real details other than what we already know about the upcoming BEV SUV. It’s being advertised as a...

We all know that the 2019 Ford Focus is going to be completely redesigned and there are already spy photos of the 2019 Ford Focus. I have also read that the new Focus is going to be about 2 inches longer than the current Focus. The redesigned longer body could allow room for the battery pack to...

Okay, there is only one dealer in Texas advertising in AutoTrader.com a new Ford Focus Electric and there aren't any pictures of the actual car so the car is probably "in transit". You have always been able to order an FFE in Texas and it will take at least three months to get it delivered but...

This morning, when I drove my 2017 FFE, the backup camera picture was all jumble up. I had the car on the charger all night long and it was just about freezing temperatures when I got in the car. After I turned the car off and back on the picture came back but when I drove the again I had the...

Hi Guys, I listed both my 2013 FFE and my 2017 FFE for rent in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I am also offering delivery to DFW International Airport for a fee. So, if you're ever in the DFW area and want to experience driving a Ford Focus Electric, just do a search under zip code 76137 on...

http://shop.ford.com/showroom?linktype=build&gnav=header-shop#/. Nothing has changed on the 2018 model, including price, from the 2017 model except for a few color options.

I know that at least one person on this forum has reported that they have had their HVB pack replaced. I'm reaching out to all of those on this forum to report on their experience getting their HVB replaced. What were the symptoms that led to the diagnosis that the HVB packs had to be...

The air conditioner on my 2017 FFE quit working so I took it into the dealer. The dealer went through two refrigerant hoses before he decided Ford was sending him the wrong hose even though it had the right part number based on the catalog. It looks like Ford hasn't updated their 2017 parts...

Hurricane Harvey has caused gas shortages in Texas. There are some gas stations without gas, long lines at others and the gas prices are going up. Too bad there are no new FFEs for sale in Texas or they would be zooming off dealer lots.

The SAE J1772 AC Level 2 standard is rated for up to 80 amps, which at 240V AC produces 19.2 kW. The AC charger on board the Ford Focus Electric is only rated at 6.6 kW or about 27.5 amps at 240V. It appears that there is much room for improvement on the on board Ford Focus Electric AC...

Autotrader.com has at least one new 2017 FFE listed for less than $20,000, that's more than $11,000 below MSRP. Factor in the federal tax credit and the price of the car becomes $12,500. I thought I got a really good deal on my certified FFE but now I'm kind of wishing I held off a couple...

At first I didn't see much benefit to using Apple CarPlay on my 2017 model but then I discovered the interaction with Apple Maps. On my 2013 FFE I use to use MyFordMobil to find charging stations and then send the address to the car using Sync Services. The 2017 doesn't even use Sync Services...

All right I've got my 2017 FFE and I love it. I don't really consider my 2017 a temporary car the way I did my 2013 but there are things that I wish I had that are not available on the 2017 FFE. Features like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning would be nice and I would also...

When I bought my 2013 FFE I ran some experiments to see how far I could go at certain speeds in preparation for a cross country trip. Basically I started off with a full charge and I drove around in a big loop at a set loop until I had to head to the nearest charging station. The important...

I checked the local Ford parts department and several online Ford OEM parts suppliers, the lowest price I could find for the traction batteries for the 2017 FFE is about $19k. That price is more than what I just paid for my certified 2017 FFE. So if you really want the 33.5 kWh in your older...

I have had a 2013 FFE for over two years and I just picked up a 2017 FFE. I quite enjoyed my 2013 FFE over the two years that I had it but I was often frustrated by the range limitations. Here are my impressions of the 2017 model compared to the 2013 model; Range; I remember one situation...

Original MSRP was about $31,300 based on the original sticker. The warranty start date was 09-28-16 (I didn't even know 2017 models were in production then). The car has 7,009 miles on it. I paid $17,900 for the car. Since the car is Certified I got 1.9% financing for 66 months. The...

Has anybody done the battery drawdown test on a 2017 model? If so please post the kWh values you measured. I'm looking at buying a certified 2017 model and I was wanting a benchmark to see what the battery degradations were on these certified FFEs.

AutoTrader has a bunch of 2016 Focus Electrics listed for less than $20,000!!! Ford must be getting serious about clearing out 2016 models to make room for 2017 models. The deep price cuts must be working because new FFEs inventory has been dropping really quickly recently. I might point out...

I bought a Ford Service Manual DVD for my 2013 Focus Electric. The service manual is pretty comprehensive and actually covers a lot of different models. But there are a lot of places in the manual that refer to videos and there are no videos on the DVD. Does anyone have any idea where I might...
