One of the advantages of
running a successful online publication like Battery
for Ford Focus Reviews Auto Trends
Magazine is that I get to preview and drive numerous vehicles before or just as
they hit the market. A recent call from the Battery for Ford Focus Reviews arranged for my
drive of the 2012 battery electric version of the Ford Focus, a compact car
slated to go on sale summer 2011. This vehicle will be important for two big
reasons: it will replace the current American spec model with the European
derived one, offering a better-looking, more fuel efficient and updated
package. It will also allow customers to buy an electric car if they choose to
do so, though the gas version producing 40 mpg on the highway may be sufficient
for most drivers.
What was so special about the Battery for Ford Focus Reviews? Well, it was the same car produced for the Jay Leno Show as part of the
TV personality's bid to showcase green cars. This specially developed prototype
is based on the Focus SVT, a car sold in Europe and considered by some to be
the sportiest and fastest compact car on the market. But, that was just the
exterior of the vehicle underneath the Battery for Ford Focus Reviews featured an honest
to goodness lithium-ion battery pack, exactly like the one that will be found
in production versions of this car. This particular prototype functioned just
as well as a production car, with none of the customary squeaks, rattles and
unfinished compartments apparent.
