Overview

Sadly Ford never chose to release any Ford Focus Electric models to the UK market, so we've never experienced this one. As this variant is the second iteration, we hope that Ford have learned plenty from its development to soon offer competitive full battery electric vehicles globally.

Charging Details

Charging time for a Ford Focus

The table below shows the estimated time to charge your Focus from empty to full. For rapid charging, we show the time to charge from 20% - 80%, as charging tends to slow outside this range to protect the battery.

Charging methodTypically found atCharging time*Range/hour**

* Based on EV Made Easy estimates, charging time can differ based on the ambient temperature, the state of the battery (e.g. empty or half full) and variation in charging rate. Max charging rate may also be limited by the vehicle.
** Range per hour is the number of miles you can expect to get from an hour of charging at the relevant rate.

Connector type and charging rates

You can charge your Ford Focus with a Type 1 connector at home, work or at a public charging point. There is also a CCS connector for rapid charging.

CO2 emissions from UK grid electricity usage (EV Made Easy calculated)*39 gCO2/km

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2021 to calculate the expected grams of CO2 emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
