1. CHARGE PORT DOOR AND LIGHT RING
The charge port is on the front le fender. Press the

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 convenience charge cord. Ford
recommends upgrading to the optional
240V charging station for faster, more
ecient 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 SWITCH
