The model will be first seen on the streets of the following states: Atlanta, Austin, Houston Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, New York, Orlando, Phoenix, Tucson, Portland, Raleigh Durham, Richmond, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
“There is a great deal of excitement for the Focus Electric across America and Ford wants to build on this enthusiasm by making our first all electric passenger vehicle available in as many pilot markets as possible,” said Mark Fields, Ford president of the Americas.
“This is the first step in rolling out the Focus Electric. As the country continues to build up its electric vehicle infrastructure and demand for the Focus Electric grows, Ford will continue to evaluate additional markets and consider making this vehicle available in more cities across the country.”
The electric version of the Focus will be powered by a 23 kwh lithium-ion battery with liquid heating and cooling system and will be built on the platform of the new generation Focus.
It's nor yet clear what will be the range of the new EV, nor are available any other performance figures at this time. Ford will likely reveal more about the second EV to be launched after the introduction of the Connect Electric as time passes.
