Ford Announces Initial Markets For Focus EV

The 2012 Ford Focus hasn’t even been launched yet, but already the Blue Oval is preparing an all-electric variant of the popular compact. When it finally arrives, the 2012 Ford Focus EV will first be available in select markets, including 14 states and Washington, D.C.

Ford is currently working with local government agencies and utilities to ensure the Focus EV’s launch will be a success. These efforts include developing consumer outreach initiatives, education programs, and providing information on charging needs. Ford is also researching methods to limit the strain on the local power grid as EVs become adopted
