The new Ford Focus all electric vehicle is expected to be available at over 60 dealerships in California, New Jersey and New York later this spring. It will be available nationwide by the end of 2012.
This vehicle is priced at $39,200 and it fits 4 people. It is a beautiful hatchback and it has been rated as the most fuel efficient car by the Environmental Protection Agency. It has a 110 miles per gallon city rating.
As with all electric vehicles, there is a $7,500 federal tax rebate and you can find additional rebates and incentives depending on the dealership and the state.
The most common concern amongst car buyers is how far they can get before the battery dies and needs to be re-charged. The average is about 76 miles, but it can vary depending on driving habits, temperature and how many accessories are working in the car. In winter time the distance may be much lower than 76 miles but in summer it can go as high as 100 miles or more.

Even though GM has slowed down the production of Chevy Volts, this vehicle sales in California continue to rise as a new state incentive is available and gas price is still very high.
So far this year in the state of California, about 23% represented Volt registrations. On the contrary, registrations in other states are as low as 5%.
Another good call from this state is to allow Volt customers to use the carpool lanes, regardless of how many people are in the car.
Thomas Libby, Polk’s analyst mentioned on an email: “It is crucial that the Volt performs well there. Volt’s success there says that Volt is indeed an environmentally advanced and friendly vehicle”
Besides the regular $7,500 federal tax rebate, Californians are also entitled to receive an extra $1,500 rebate as the Volts made for this states are zero emissions cars, contrary to the ones sold in other parts of the country.
The demand is so high at the moment, that dealers are willing to negotiate buying them from dealers in other states.
