The Ford Focus Electric is a
fully electric compact hatchback based on the popular Ford Focus design. First
introduced in 2011 and discontinued in 2018, it was Ford’s first attempt to
compete in the electric vehicle market. The car features a 33.5 kWh
liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack, delivering up to 115 miles (185
km) of EPA-rated range. Powered by a 143 hp electric motor with instant
torque of 250 Nm, it provides smooth acceleration, ideal for city driving.
Inside, it offers a modern infotainment
system with SYNC 3, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, and a premium Sony
audio system. Safety features include 6 airbags, electronic stability
control, ABS, regenerative braking, and rear parking sensors with a backup
camera.
While the Focus EV cannot match the
long range of modern EVs, it remains a reliable, budget-friendly electric
hatchback for daily commuting. With a 6.6 kW onboard charger and DC fast
charging support, charging times are practical for home and public use.
