Ever wondered? How big is this Ford Focus Electric thing anyway? (In the United States)
How do historical sales compare to Nissan Leaf, Tesla ModelS, etc.?
I looked up what I could and got:
Total Sales as of Dec. 2015:
410,000 plug-in cars of all kinds sold in the U.S. (since the Tesla Roadster launch in 2008);
5,977 Ford Focus Electrics (FFE) sold; (+66 in Jan. 2016 alone)
89,591 Nissan Leafs sold; (+755 in Jan. 2016 alone)

I knew my FFE purchase in Nov. 2015 was rare, and I'm a bit surprised at how low our sales figures are. In the entire country, only about 2.5 FFE's are sold every day, and it's been that way kind of steady for 3 years now!
One advantage we have is that at least our low-volume car shares most body panels, window glass (stone chips!), etc. with the other worldwide high-volume Focuses (Foci?) out there. So we can get parts easily for the body. ......
The Ford Focus worldwide sells more than Toyota Corolla, the previous champ.
