This Ford Focus has it all, because he goes all-electric. In the second half of 2011, Electric power generation as a pure delight with plug-in technology, the first customer. In this case, however, left open some questions, Ford will hopefully answer the show debut at the Detroit Auto Show 2011 (10 to 23 January).
For example, there is no concrete indication of the range. The press release states: "Pro battery charge, it offers a range that meets the daily driving habits normal U.S. and European users are over."


A price announcement? Not applicable. Performance? No comment.
After all, Ford can be intimated that the focus Electric 136 km / h will be fast. The electric motor is coupled to a single-speed gearbox and will be run in a similar dynamic as a Focus with an internal combustion engine. Sucks the juice out to load the electric motor from a lithium-ion battery, the owner of the recommended 240-volt charging station can, which will be sold separately. Since coming into the U.S. but 120 volts from the outlet that owners may instead slot in the standard series charging cable to the house connection.
A complete charge cycle on a conventional 240-volt outlet is completed, according to Ford after three to four hours. "So in half the time that a Nissan Leaf needed," says full-bodied from the Ford Center. A 120-volt connection to double the loading time. The battery sits above the rear axle.
At first glance, the Focus Electric does not differ from the standard version. The display of the information system helps Ford is to save fuel, provide information as to charge the battery. Even the navigation system was adapted to the Focus Electric, points the way to charging stations and warns if the current is not up to the intended target may be enough.


The instrument cluster is left in addition to the display range and the battery is charged. At least in the U.S., the E-Focus driver retrieve many relevant vehicle information on their smartphone. We are excited about what does it cost.
