With a handful of 2012 Ford Focus Electric [1] sales officially logged
in December, 2011, Ford's $39,995 electric hatchback has finally
entered the plug-in vehicle scene. Whether or not Ford's choice to
convert an existing vehicle—the gasoline-powered 2012 Ford
Focus—will make sense in the long run remains to be scene.
Regardless, the Blue Oval automaker is playing up its use of existing
US assembly lines to produce the the Focus Electric.
Simplified production is key to keeping costs in check on the Focus
Electric, according to Ford. All of the electrified Focus compacts
roll down the assembly lines at Ford's Wayne, Mich. factory and only a
handful of production steps differ from those of the Focus Electric's
conventional, gas-fueled counterpart.
The Focus Electric gets a modified floorpan stamping to accommodate
the electric vehicle components and a lithium-ion battery pack is
placed where gasoline tanks are installed on conventional Focuses.
