"I'd bet more money on a person who is attempting to do one thing well than " absolutely agree on that. Why did the Wright Brothers beat Langley, who had more money, more man power, better...

You know the thought of bailing altogether has never crossed my mind once. Partly because Ford has taken care of me with loaners, but mostly because I really like the car. If it had stranded me I...

I agree with the first part that Ford is using the owner of the FFE as pre-production testers in a sense. I would say the odds are very slim that the next car will have this issue, slim, but...

Yes, if only money were no object. But I have serious concerns about Tesla as an on-going concern. You know each year most car makers have one model that is a dud, and as Chrysler CEO Marchionne...

It seems very unlikely :) But I wouldn't take that deal, having one Volt in the fleet, the FFE is the perfect addition. Despite these issues I am digging the Focus Electric. Cargo space is...

As previously reported, the 2013 Focus Electric I purchased has been periodically kicking out a “Stop Safely...

Tom the car buying decision has always been a complicated one and absolutely what is right or works for one person is not right for another. I believe that adding hybrids, plug in-hybrids, EREV, and...

Montgom...thanks, that is exactly what I aiming for. Of course opinions will very, but I hope to give a sense of the thing so readers are better able to judge for themselves.

Right, the "primary stream" on the Volt is of course the analog version because the Volt doesn't do HD radio only analog.

Well some of the things are using the car as a hotspot, being able to...

Having put over 31k behind the wheel of a Volt since January 2011, I am inclined to compare the Ford Focus Electric to...

Have not noticed that but will look for it. I'm 6'3" so my seat is usually way back.

It is amazing how much you can get in the back of the Volt, and absolutely agree having your bike on a rack is no substitute for having the bike in the car, away from prying hands and the weather.

I paid $500 under MSRP, right around $40k, cloth seats, $400 extra for Blue Candy paint job. But Richmond Ford's processing fee is about $200 higher than most dealers, but then again that may be the...

the nissan leaf range estimator app would not be applicable to the Volt at all... well then again maybe if you adjusted the charge to 50%...

Appears to me that the LEAF was able to have more space because they did not have to concern themselves with liquid heating and cooling, so their cells are just sandwiched in there any which way, and...

Agreed you aren't going to get a bicycle into the FFE. However, since this is based totally on the gas car, what you can do with only a slight modification is add a standard hitch and put a bike...

Agreed the trunk is very limited, although you were probably looking at it with the organizer in place. The first thing I did was to jettison the organizer, which helps somewhat. And of course you...

On August 23 my wife and I took delivery of a Ford Focus Electric (FFE) from Richmond Ford in...

Is this thing an SAE fast charger or ChaDemo or both?

Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA which is owned by the same Co. as Sea World, also does not offer charging stations, for their guests. However, I found out from an employee that they have a...
