Item: 2013 Ford Focus Electric
Author: Jerimy Grafenstein

Overview

Mileage equates, roughly, to 110 mpg city and 99 mpg highway. The Focus Electric can deliver an effective range of around 76 miles before charging. As with any electric vehicle, however, these numbers are subjective and based on driving conditions.

Like gas-powered Focuses, the Electric features a well-designed interior with high-quality materials and good sound insulation. The layout of the controls can be overwhelming, however. An optional MyFord Touch system features an impressive customization system and a sizable display screen. Headroom is impressive throughout, but rear legroom is a bit tight.

For most Americans, driving the Focus Electric will be an unusual experience. The ride is extremely quiet, the handling precise and nimble -- but less so than other Focuses. Though powerful for an electric vehicle, acceleration won't impress anyone used to a gas-powered cars.
