Electrifying Focus


Also at CES Ford have announced their all-electric Focus. Ford claim its a class winner with lowest costs in its market segment.  Specifications are that charge time is 3-4 hours from a 240V outlet, common as domestic supply over here but not in the US.  With a full battery will let the Focus hit a top speed of 84mph.  Ford haven't specified the maximum range for the car which is the killer for most of these more than actual performance. The statement just says “Focus is designed to offer enough range to cover the majority of daily driving habits of Americans". Whatever that is supposed to mean.

Looks like any old Ford Focus
A smart 4.2” display gives you all the info on discharge and recharge and is also tied to a smartphone ap, for reasons I am yet to discern.

Pricing, release date and European release have yet to be confirmed.


With an interior styled like one of those Dixons hifi systems.
