A new second-hand EV in the stable

[Papapoil]

I took possession of a used 2017 Focus Electric last Friday. I got a good price and the car is in perfect condition. The range in winter at 100% charge is about 130 km, which is more than enough for my needs. It's a second car, the main one being the Mach E. There's still a year's warranty on the high-voltage battery. Do any of you also have a Focus Electric as a second car? I know it's not the car with the best reputation for reliability, but it's a real pleasure to drive. ?

130 km = 81 miles. That's enough to get around town for almost a week. Not a bad deal, assuming it was 10k or less.

Were those even sold in the US?

Awesome! Now this is true bang for your buck. Thanks for sharing.

Good information.
Disappointing there couldn't have been more.
Has about the range of a Leaf, lots of those sold.
Did they not market it much? I certainly don't remember it.
