Where can I buy an electric Ford Focus?

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 21 points 1 year ago

On the used market? It was discontinued in 2018. A quick Google search found several for sale.

Ford currently has Explorer and Mustang as full EVs, but also the Puma among others from sometime next year.

Ugh I'm so annoyed by the SUVification of vehicles

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I am a wagon fan. I had long wondered why Europe had all these nice wagons and here in the US we had countless crappy SUV models and very few (if any) wagons. Back in the 70's and 80's emissions were the reason manufacturers moved from car-based larger capacity vehicles to truck-based. They simply did not have to meet nearly the same emissions requirements. Sucks for you consumer (and environment)!

That was a compliance car and it's not even remotely competitive with a modern EV, so no thanks.
