Just go to google and type in "focus energi" and you'll find any number of websites talking about it. While there has been no formal commitment from Ford, there are enough rumors circulating from people in-the-know to almost guarantee this vehicle is in the works and will be available in less than a year.epic said:cant get it to open.would like to read it.But,like the solar roof, not going to happen

If they can't get the difference between kWh and kW right on their website, why believe any other technical details?adric22 said:7.6 kW Lithium Ion Battery
The EV drivetrain in the C-MAX is capable of a LOT more than 7.6 kW of power - up to 68 kW in charge depletion mode. That would drain it in less than 7 minutes if it could maintain that rate (it probably can't).LeftieBiker said:Maybe they're assuming that everyone drives for exactly one hour, flat out.

When you turn the car on, it starts a compressor/vacuum pump that is pretty loud outside the car but hard to hear inside. Also, if dealer did not plug-in to charge HV battery, mileage suffers.EvansvilleLeaf said:My wife just traded for one of these.
Early days yet but going well. 23-25 EV miles with limited EV experience (<5% of Leaf driving), very accurate GOM. Comfy. Really like the configurable info displays. Sync works better than my Mustang (probably due to being much quieter). Cargo space constrained but very functional. Bought it from 150 miles away and gas mileage a bit subpar on first trip at about 35, but reports are fairly consistent that this improves over time, and in any case in normal use she'll use gas maybe once every 3 months.
Only thing that seems weird is that in EV mode there is a loud buzz/grind noise for the first minute or so every so often. D/R/L doesn't seem to be the causal factor; neither does braking/not braking. Does not seem to be affecting function and is internal to motor/engine rather than grating on CV joints etc. Ideas from more experienced/techy types appreciated, as the nearest Energi dealer to me is >90 miles.

now to clarify; 90% of the time I am driving alone and the backseat is ample room for my equipment but the 10% of the time I need seats for passengers is VITAL
