The vehicle pictured here is powered by electricity alone, so it never needs a drop of gas. Introducing: the Ford Focus Electric. The Focus Electric is built at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan. Electric's front grille is unique from other Focus models, with HID headlamps. It also sports LED tail lamps and standard 17-inch aluminum-painted wheels. Focus Electric features 4-wheel disc antilock brakes with regenerative braking to help you receive maximum energy efficiency. The system is able to capture more than 90% of the energy, and recycle it to recharge the battery. Brake Coach also helps to enhance the use of the car's regenerative braking. This revolutionary model also has a standard rearview camera with reverse sensing system to enhance visibility as you slowly back up. The blue light means go on the illuminating charge port, indicating that it's connected and charging, and also allowing you to know when you are fully charged, ready to go.
At the heart of it all is a 23 kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery system. The system's advanced liquid heating and cooling regulates the battery temperature, and helps maximize the battery life to achieve the most miles from each charge. It's matched with a single-speed automatic transmission to help give you a quiet, energy efficient ride while also delivering quick responsiveness, smooth acceleration, and driving fun. Focus Electric is the first 5-passenger all electric vehicle, with a fuel efficiency rating of 110MPGe. The all-electric motor is designed to help reduce energy loss and heat generation while reducing your carbon footprint. With the available MyFord® Mobile smart phone app, you can get important information about your Focus Electric, such as: monitoring and scheduling the charge of your vehicle, locating the nearest charging station, and much more.
