"Since we won't be able to drive the Focus Electric until closer to its late-2011 on-sale date, we've decided see how the two cars stack up on paper."

That was disappointing.

Yeah, but like I said, I hadn't seen it on the site and a search didn't come up with anything. Just thought it was funny that they were talking about the 2013 Focus back in 2011.

YouTube is your friend. They mentioned the 6 kW onboard charger and more torque as differentiators from the Leaf. Ford is apparently positioning the Focus as a premium EV, bridging the gap between existing offerings and the upcoming BMW i3.

I've seen all of these, the Focus really does look like a good car. It's just too bad that Ford isn't making a real effort at it. I just put this article out there for people who may not have seen it.
