Ford says Focus Electric will get 100 MPG

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/14/f...odels-also-re/

Ford just announced that the Focus Electric will be, "the first all-electric vehicle to achieve a 100 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) fuel efficiency rating." But wait, you're saying, what about the Mitsubishi i, which gets 112 MPGe? Ah, this is when you finish reading Ford's sentence, which ends, "with seating for five." The i is rated as a four-seat (two-plus-two) vehicle while the Focus is a "normal" five-seater.

100 MPGe is just one selling point for Ford's upcoming EV. The other is faster charging technology that allows the Focus EV, "to charge in half the time of a Nissan Leaf using 240-volt outlets." That means a three- to four-hour recharge time.

Not that I know. We might get it later on, but not now.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack , I'll start a new thread. I was at SEMA but there were so many things going on that I missed this.

I remember that Roush Focus, but the new 2013 Focus ST is still more powerful and most likely will be less expensive.
