7. MYFORD® MOBILE APP FOR
YOUR SMARTPHONE

View your vehicle’s charging information on a computer or
other Web-accessible mobile device, smartphone or from
your vehicle by downloading your free MyFord Mobile app
for your phone. Visit MyFordmobile.com and enhance your
charging experience with these key features and more:

• Text Alert: Receive text messages on your phone

that notify you of your vehicle’s charging status and
other functionality.

• Find a Charging Station: Locate charging stations

when you are on the go so you can recharge while you
are out.

8. CABIN CONDITIONING

Get the most miles out of every charge by letting the
interior of your Focus Electric warm up or cool down while
you still have it plugged in and charging. Use MyFord
Mobile to set the cabin temperature and departure time
before you leave.

Note: Extreme outside temperatures or 120V charging may reduce

cabin conditioning eectiveness.

9. TRIP PLANNER

Locate the best routes to your destination based on charge
levels and available charging stations. Aer you input your
destination, MyFord Mobile interfaces with the vehicle to
provide the confidence to always know how far you can go,
and the most economical way of getting there.

10. VALUE CHARGING

MyFord Mobile gives Focus Electric drivers a unique
“set it and forget it” charging feature. The app lets you
know when the cheapest rates are available
and allows you to set your vehicle’s
charging time accordingly.
Contact your utility
company to learn if
regular charging during
non-peak times
requires a rate
plan change.

Smart Start

10 QUICK TIPS

1. CHARGE PORT DOOR AND LIGHT RING

The charge port is on the front le fender. Press the
indentation on the charge port door to open it. To close,
press and hold the indentation until the door rotates and
closes. The light ring indicates the approximate charge

status of your high-voltage battery system

as it charges.

2. CHARGE OPTIONS

Focus Electric comes equipped with

a 120V charge cord. Ford recommends

upgrading to the optional 240V charging

station for faster, more ecient charging.
Use of an available, Ford-branded 240V home charging
station takes approximately 3.6 hours to fully charge an
empty battery. In addition, you can charge your Focus
Electric anywhere you find a 120V/240V charge station.
Every charge station uses the same connector.

3. PUSH BUTTON SILENT START

To start your Focus Electric, press the brake pedal and
press the START STOP button on the instrument panel.
The green indicator light lets you know that your
Focus Electric is ready to drive.

4. SMARTGAUGE® WITH ECOGUIDE

Use your 5-way controls located on your steering wheel
to interact. You can choose and confirm settings and
messages, control many of the SYNC with MyFord Touch
functions, and change how you view your Focus Electric
vehicle information.

5. RANGE SCREENS

Choose several ways to view vehicle range. Enter a
destination and range view to learn if you have enough
plug-in power to get there. The various screens can also
show miles or kilometers per charge, distance until your
plug-in power depletes and an evaluation of economical
driving habits. The visual cues of butterflies in the right
cluster lets you know your range surplus: more butterflies
equal greater surplus.

6. BRAKE COACH

Aer your vehicle comes to a stop,
this screen automatically appears
in your display. It coaches you
to maximize the amount of
energy returned through the
regenerative braking system.
The percentage displayed
indicates the regenerative
braking eciency.
