We’ve been hearing about this for a while, and now it’s official. Ford’s first EV to take on the competition from Chevrolet and Nissan will be fully electric, unlike the range-extended Volt. So what we’re looking at here is a normal Ford Focus that is electric, unlike other manufacturers who have outted cars that are specifically electric. Ford’s plan is to offer choices.

Ford is now insync with over 3 million vehicles (har-d-har). When debuted in 2007, SYNC was well received by Ford customers and became a big reason why people were buying Fords. Features like 911 Assist, Vehicle Health Report and SYNC services like turn-by-turn directions, weather, stocks, and sports info made the system very appealing to techies.

We got to try out the newest version of SYNC, named MyFord Touch when we tested the Ford Edge Sport a few months back. Overall we liked it, but wished it were a bit faster.
