Despite the very small number of Ford Focus EVs currently on the road (officials say 16), Ford has decided to release a dedicated iPhone app (MyFord Mobile) to make the owning experience a more pleasant high-tech one.

As one might expect, it provides the driver with very useful information, like the state of the battery, the locations of the nearest charging stations and a MapQuest-powered navigation system which guides the driver to take the most efficient way to reach his destination.

The app will also save you money on charging, thanks to the “value charging” system, developed by Microsoft. It advises the driver when electricity costs are lowerst, via a text message, if the car isn’t already plugged.

It will also warn the driver if the has forgotten to plug it in - all in all, it seems like a genuinely useful feature and it completes the high-tech owning experience.
