2018 Focus Electric

CG Says: The Ford Focus Electric is unchanged for 2018. Ford Focus is a compact electric car with seating for five. The front-wheel-drive car is powered by a 143-horsepower electric motor. The EPA-estimated driving range is 115 miles and Ford claims that a DC fast charger can deliver 75 miles of range in half an hour. Focus Electric is among the more rewarding pure-electric vehicles to drive. And, for the most part, it feels like a conventional Focus. Prices are high compared to the gas-engine Focuses, but competitive with both the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Bolt. If your goal is to be green and drive a car no one will suspect is electric, the Focus Electric is a fine choice. Note that Focus Electric is available only in select Ford dealerships.
