Major design flaws! Car didn't last 50K miles!
I bought my Ford Focus 2014 Electric brand new, 8 years ago. It now has 46K miles on it, and the high voltage battery died. It won’t take a charge. The dealership is quoting $25K to replace the battery. Warranty expired in July, it died in October. Can't be repaired, the only way to fix the battery is to replace it. I’ve contacted the Ford corporation, and they said I was out of luck. Case # CAS40075993. It was a nice little car while it ran, and is still in good shape except for the fact that it won't move.

No more gas stations
Imagine driving by gas stations and waving instead of stopping. That's me, now that I own an Electric Focus. And, there are many places with free electricity in Sacramento, including my employer. In the Bay Area, I have access to the carpool lane even when driving solo because it comes with the "clean-air sticker." If I run the air conditioning, I get 70 miles; otherwise, I get closer to 90 miles per charge. Overall, I love my Ford Focus Electric.

Great Commuter Car, gives access to HOV lane
I love the car, handles great and has great pick up. The Ford sync features are excellent tools for hand free driving. The Ford App lets me monitor the charging of my car throughout the day and even allows me to control the charging during the day to use the lowest voltage rate.

Great second car
We are nearing the end of a 3 year lease on a 2014 Ford Focus Electric. It has been a trouble free second car that is great for 50 miles per charge even in January in Michigan (the heater reduces driving range); much longer in summer (A/C less taxing on range). A full charge is easily obtained overnight on 110 Volt plug. I look to get a 2017 Focus electric as replacement, it has improved range and charge times.

Great retirement car
Having been retired for 15 years, I noticed that my daily driving routine is limited to shorter trips with less range. So I decided to try an electric car and give my granddaughter my Mercedes SL. The Ford is so comfortable, fitted with technology so well, and so suited to driving around town that I do not miss the convertible at all. It has been extremely reliable and not having gas or any maintenance has been a real plus. The mileage range goes between 75 and 110 depending upon how the car is driven. I do keep a Mercedes sedan as a road car for long trips. But find the electric car extremely practical for daily use.

green car with the confort
comfortable handling, with the state and Federal incentives....well worth it. But watch out, if a timer meter is not installed, you have to wake-up before midnight to charge your car to get the low rate...especially in Southern California where Electric rate is triples of the national average!!
