The Ford Focus Electric is updated to remain attractive. Competition in the sector is fierce and not to improve with each passing day. The electric Chicago had been a little dated to the times so this move by Ford was almost forced.
Changes in the car are mainly two. On the one hand passes the 22 kWh battery that had the original model to 33.5 kWh. With this increase the car plant in about 180 Km of real autonomy. Besides the possibility of rapid recharging DC Combo with CCS standard is added.
With this battery of 33.5 kWh electric Ford Focus is placed at the level of what the competition is offering right now. The Hyundai Ioniq electric walks in 176 Km of autonomy according to the EPA, while the Nissan Leaf in its version of 30 kWh reaches 172.
The Ford Focus Electric equals but does not improve. A continuista movement to keep up, but that competition is not going to sleep. Inside nothing will get the second generation of the Nissan Leaf and certainly take the opportunity to give a big push to autonomy. Besides that is also on the horizon the arrival of the Tesla Model 3 which in principle will compete with the Ford Focus Electric in the segment of affordable electric cars. Volkswagen intends to take a groundbreaking electric by 2019.
The Ford Focus Electric will hit the market in December and apart from the technical improvements that we have already commented also debut a new alloy wheels of 17 inches and a new body color (White Gold). Small improvements to try to maintain the attractiveness of the car. But if Ford wants to have a role in the future of the electric automobile, you better try to risk a little more for future releases.
