The first cities are:

_Atlanta, Austin and Houston, Texas; Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, San Diego, New York, Orlando, Fla., Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz.; Portland,
Ore.; Raleigh Durham, N.C.; Richmond, Va., Seattle, and Washington, D.C._

### Ford Focus Electric Across America

There seems to be a great deal of excitement for the Focus Electric across [America](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/11/tesla-is-doing-a-rock-and-rock-model-s-tour-across-the-usa/).
So Ford wants to build on this enthusiasm. Especially by making our first all electric
passenger vehicle available in as many pilot markets as possible.  That was said
by Mark Fields. Mark is President of the Americas, Ford Motor Company. “This is 
the first step in rolling out the [Focus Electric](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/focus-electric-named-one-of-top-5-green-car-for-2012/).
As the country continues to build up its electric vehicle infrastructure and demand
for the Focus Electric grows. Then Ford will also continue to evaluate additional
markets and consider making this vehicle available. That’s in more cities across
the country.”

### Ford Focus EV Production

Production will occur on the same line as the gasoline version of the Focus. Using
an existing vehicle platform and assembly line will give Ford the ability to vary
production based on demand for the Focus Electric.

### Conclusion

Finally, the [Ford Focus Electric](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/02/new-eu-rules-on-single-use-plastics-to-help-reduce-european-pollution/)
will offer consumers the same fun and exciting driving experience as the gasoline
powered version. Instead of a traditional gas engine, the Focus Electric’s motor
will be powered by a 23 kwh lithium-ion battery. In addition, and to ensure an excellent
range better, the system utilizes liquid heating and cooling. It’s a system to maximize
battery life and also driving range.
