Once again, Ford Focus is making news. Ford plans to release the Focus Electric car in 2011. Good news for all the conservatives that are worried about going green. It will be following the release of the Ford Transit Connect that will be all electric also. That is extremely good news for businesses that want to have a commercial vehicle and be green while transporting. Deliveries can now mostly run on electric instead of gasoline. The Ohio Ford Dealer are anticipating these vehicles on their lots. In their eyes, having these on their lots will bring value with variety and consumers. The VW Specials do not come even close to this. Taking all of this transition off of gasoline/oil, the automakers are certainly introducing us to all different makes and models, to better suit our needs. Ford Dealer Greenfield is anticipating the reveal of these electric cars from Ford.
On this Ford focus the battery will be a lithium ion rechargeable and can be plugged right into a wall outlet. Ford estimates the Focus will be achieving about a 100 miles on a single charge. It can benefit so many drivers that make the same routine drive or deliveries every day. It can be charged in two different manners. Either, the 110v or the 220v, obviously the 22ov will be the quicker way to charge. If charging by the 110v, it will take more hours than the 220v and that takes about six to eight hours for a full charge.
Ford has designed the Focus with the SmartGauge, providing the driver with information on the charge level and how far it can go before needing to plug in again. Ford is constantly spinning out the innovative side of the company, hence the vehicles. Ford is committed to consumers and to the environment.
