Ford Focus Electric First Live Pictures and interior

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.

Spied: 2012/2013 Ford Focus EV

Despite the exhaustive testing, this Focus is missing a key component – its exhaust pipe! Our spies have just captured this Focus Electric mule undergoing testing, and it’s the first we’ve seen that uses the new mkIII Focus bodyshell.

Along with the blanked-off rear bumper, the car features disguises over the area where the fuel filler cap is on both sides, which could mean that the Focus Electric will feature plug sockets on both side of the car, making recharging easier.

Ford began its Focus Electric project with the launch of a number of prototypes based on the current generation car at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Called the Focus BEV, it had boot-mounted 23kWh lithium-ion batteries which powered a 134bhp electric motor. The range is 100 miles and top speed is 85mph.

At this year’s Geneva show, Blue Oval bosses confirmed that the Focus Electric will be based on the new Focus, and will go on sale in the US in 2011, before arriving in the UK in 2012.

Expect the production Focus Electric to feature similar specs to the BEV prototype, which will put it on a par with the Nissan Leaf for range and performance. The electric Ford will join an electric version of the Transit Connect, and is followed by two next-generation petrol hybrid-electric vehicles and a C-MAX plug-in hybrid in 2013.
