"Nissan’s all-electric LEAF vehicle did exceptionally well in 2011, but Ford anticipates that its Focus Electric vehicle will surpass the LEAF on fuel economy in the coming year.
Ford said the Focus Electric will achieve a 100 mpg-equivalent fuel-economy rating. The vehicle’s range (which depends on the owner’s driving style) is 70-100 miles.
The Ford Focus Electric’s current competitors have return great figured , according to the EPA. The 2012 Nissan LEAF, however, has achieved 106 MPGe in city driving and 92 MPGe on the highway for a combined total of 99 MPGe, according to the EPA. The 2012 Chevy Volt also did rather well, and returned a combined total of 94 MPGe. The 2012 Mitsubishi i is the fuel-economy leader by returning the highest numbers. According to the EPA, the i returned 126 MPGe in city driving and 99 MPGe on the highway for a combined total of 112 MPGe.
Many think Ford is jumping the gun, especially since the official Focus Electric fuel-economy ratings have not been posted on the EPA’s website.
The price of the 2012 Ford Focus Electric starts at $39,995, this includes a $795 destination charge. In November 2011, Ford began taking orders for the 2012 Focus Electric in California, New York and New Jersey. In 2012, availability of the Focus Electric will expand to 15 additional markets."
