interior of your Focus Electric warm up or cool down while 
you still have it plugged in and charging. Use MyFord 
Mobile to set the cabin temperature and departure time 
before you leave. 
Note: Extreme outside temperatures or 120V charging may reduce 
cabin conditioning effectiveness.

levels and available charging stations. After you input your 
destination, MyFord Mobile interfaces with the vehicle to 
provide the confidence to always know how far you can go, 
and the most economical way of getting there. 
10. VALUE CHARGINGMyFord Mobile gives Focus Electric drivers a unique  
“set it and forget it” charging feature. The app lets you 
know when the cheapest rates are available  
and allows you to set your vehicle’s  
charging time accordingly.  
Contact your utility  
company to learn if  
regular charging during   
non-peak times  
requires a rate  
plan change.

press and hold the indentation until the door rotates and 
closes. The light ring indicates the approximate charge 
status of your high-voltage battery system as it charges. 
2.  CHARGE OPTIONS Focus Electric comes equipped with 
a 120V convenience charge cord. Ford 
recommends upgrading to the optional 
240V charging station for faster, more 
efficient charging. Use of an available, Ford-branded 240V 
home charging station takes approximately 3.6 hours to 
fully charge an empty battery. In addition, you can charge 
your Focus Electric anywhere you find a 120V/240V charge 
station. Every charge station uses the same connector.

destination and range view to learn if you have enough 
plug-in power to get there. The various screens can also 
show miles or kilometers per charge, distance until your 
plug-in power depletes and an evaluation of economical 
driving habits. The visual cues of butterflies in the right 
cluster lets you know your range surplus: more butterflies 
equal greater surplus. 
6. BRAKE COACHAfter your vehicle comes to a stop, 
this screen automatically appears
