Kansas City Ford Dealer Introduces New 2012 Ford Focus Electric

Online, August 21, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The recently released 2012 Ford Focus Electric is the epitome of efficiency, as described by Bonner Springs Ford near Kansas City, KS. The 2012 Ford Focus Electric pairs an electric-only powertrain with the already popular styling of the 2012 Ford Focus.

Ford's electric vehicle innovation has allowed drivers to enjoy the ride of the Ford Focus without ever needing a drop of gas or an oil change. Powered by a 23-kilowatt lithium-ion battery pack the 2012 Ford Focus Electric returns 110 mpg-e (miles per gallon equivalent) city and 99 mpg-e highway. A driver is able to travel up to 100 miles on a single charge.

The 2012 Ford Focus Electric incorporates innovative technologies to further increase efficiency, the most notable of which is the improved regenerative braking system. The regenerative braking system is able to convert braking energy into electricity that can help to power the engine. The Focus Electric's regenerative braking system is capable of capturing 95 percent of energy normally lost in during braking.

Although the clear focus of the 2012 Ford Focus Electric is efficiency, it is now slouch in the power department. In fact, the 2012 Focus Electric generates best-in-class horsepower at 143 horsepower. Combine that with 184 lbs.-ft. of torque and the 2012 Ford Focus Electric will excel in the acceleration areas that so other electric vehicles fall short in.

Ford also delivers the technology that drivers crave in the 2012 Focus Electric. The 2012 Ford Focus Electric is equipped with available SYNC with MyFord Touch which allows drivers to control just about everything in the vehicle with just the sound of their voice. From making phone calls and selecting music, to controlling the climate of the vehicle, this Focus listens and delivers.
