Track your efficiency.
Next-generation SmartGauge® with EcoGuide is a cluster with configurable dual LCD displays and unique driving screens that provide real-time information. Next-generation SmartGauge® with EcoGuide features a MyView screen so drivers can customize the screens to their liking. Five-way steering wheel-mounted controls make it convenient. You'll see illuminated blue butterflies when driving efficiently or when you have enough range to reach a charging destination that you have entered into the available Navigation System. This visual motivator works in conjunction with the gauges designed to help improve your efficiency. SmartGauge® also provides access to many of the features of your SYNC® system which includes voice-activated technology and the unique EV screens.
Recharge as you drive.
When you apply the brakes in a conventional vehicle, kinetic energy is lost to heat due to friction. However, regenerative braking recovers more than 90 percent of this energy and sends it back to the battery pack to be stored for later use. Brake Coach is also a smart feature on the 2016 Focus Electric. Located on the instrument panel screen, it tells you the percentage of braking energy captured after each stop. The higher the percentage, the more efficiently you are braking.
Sustainability meets style.

- REPREVE® is a registered trademark of Unifi, Inc. Optional leather trim available on the Electric
Recharge at home.
Reducing your charge time is easy with an available Ford-recommended 240-volt/30-amp home charging station. With it, a full battery charge takes as little as 3.6 hours. Both portable and hardwired stations are available. A 240-volt/30-amp home charging station is available for purchase with or without installation services from AeroVironment™. If you decide to have the unit installed, an AeroVironment™-affiliated electrician can perform an electrical audit and then install the 240-volt/30-ampcharging station. The electrician will be able to handle everything, including securing the required permits.
