The Ford Focus Electric is the first full electric passenger vehicle offered by Ford Motor Company and is available exclusively through Ford Certified EV Dealers like Gresham Ford. By offering an EPA-estimated all electric driving rating of 110 city/99 highway and 105 combined MPGe, the Focus Electric has burst onto the electric vehicle scene by storm. The top speed of 84 mph is impressive and will keep in the fast lane of I-84 whenever possible.
The Focus Electric has the ability to recharge fully in just 3.6 hours when using a 240 volt charging station or 7.4 when utilizing a 120 volt charging option. A 120 volt charging adapter is included with the Ford Focus so you can take it home and plug it into any wall outlet.

With the 76 mile range of the Focus Electric it provides twice the average American's daily commute and lots of power for Oregonians too. Focus Electric has a quiet 107-kW electric traction motor. But a smooth, quiet ride also depends on the kind of suspension used. The #FocusElectric has a fully independent rear suspension is designed to absorb bumps with minimal or no
effect on the opposite wheel.
Focus Electric shows that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort and technology to drive an energy-efficient car. It offers features comparable to LEAF, plus several that LEAF doesn’t, such as SYNC 3, SmartGauge with EcoGuide and HD Radio.
Why spend your time squished into a small space? Focus Electric seats five and has four cu. ft. more passenger volume than Spark EV. Is “Italian design” another way to say “not very much room?” Let’s just say Focus Electric has
over 18 cu. ft. more passenger interior volume than Fiat 500e. Fiat 500e has a non-independent rear suspension. Focus Electric, with its fully independent suspension on the front and rear, plus European-inspired tuning, is designed to provide a smooth ride.
Since navigation services are such a key part of operating an electric car, it’s nice to see that the SYNC 3 system is fully integrated into the instrument panel, complete with a standard 8-inch touchscreen. The 500e navigation screen is just mounted on the dash.
The Focus Electric has a 28 horsepower advantage over the e-Golf that can help make a big difference when passing or merging onto the freeway. Focus Electric comes standard with a list of features that require a more expensive trim level on e-Golf.
