Ford battery electric vehicles

Ford Focus EV

The all-electric Ford Focus EV had a 24 kWh battery in model years 2011 to 2016, which was good for an EPA range rating of 76 miles per charge. In 2017, the Focus’ all-electric vehicle battery was increased to 33 kWh to deliver 107 miles of range. For Level 1 and Level 2 fast charging, the Focus EV uses the industry standard SAE J1772 connector in North America. For DC fast charging, the Focus EV uses the SAE Combined Charging System, or CCS, connector. All of Ford’s electric cars have their EV charger port located on the front left fender, just ahead of the driver’s door.

Level 3 DC fast charging: CCS combo

 

For faster charging, the 2017 & 2018 Ford Focus EV can charge up to 80% in 33 minutes on a Level 3, 50 kW DC fast charger. Previous model years of the Ford Focus EV didn’t have a Level 3, DC fast charge option.  Level 3 chargers are typically found at public charging stations, as the infrastructure needed to support Level 3 charging at home usually exceeds what most residential homes can handle.

Ford plug-in hybrid charging & range

Both the Ford Fusion Energi and the Ford C-Max Energi models are capable of charging up to 3.3 kW on a Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging station, and use the standard SAE J1772 connector in North America. All model years for the Fusion Energi and C-Max Energi have a 7.6 kWh battery, with the exception of the 2019 Fusion Energi, which was upgraded to a 9 kWh battery.

 

As for range, the C-Max Energi is capable of going 19 miles per charge on the battery. The Fusion Energi is slightly more efficient, and model years 2013 to 2018 are rated at 21 miles per charge on the same 7.6 kWh battery that the C-Max Energi has. In 2019, Ford increased the size of the Fusion Energi’s battery to 9 kWh and, in doing so, increased the electric range to 25 miles per charge.
