2014 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC charging

If the anti-lock brake system is disabled, normal braking is still
effective. If the brake warning lamp illuminates with the parking
brake released, have your brake system serviced immediately.
Regenerative braking system
Your vehicle uses a feature known as regenerative braking. This is used to
simulate the engine braking of an internal combustion engine and assist the
standard brake system while recovering some of the energy of motion and
storing it in the battery to improve fuel economy. The standard brake
system is designed to fully stop the car if regenerative braking is not
available. During regenerative braking, the motor is spun as a generator to
create electrical current. This recharges the battery and slows the vehicle.
In effect, once the accelerator pedal is released, the motor changes from an
energy user to an energy producer.
When the accelerator pedal is released or the brake pedal is applied,
the brake controller automatically detects the amount of deceleration
requested and optimizes how much of the deceleration will be produced
by regenerative braking. The remaining portion is generated by standard
friction braking. When the battery is almost fully charged, the amount of
regenerative braking is limited to avoid overcharging, and the requested
deceleration is produced by standard friction braking alone.
Regenerative braking does not take the place of the standard friction
brakes; it only assists them. Regenerative braking has also been designed
to interact with the anti-lock brake system. Regenerative braking is
disabled when the anti-lock brake system is activated or the battery is
fully charged.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
When the system is operating, the brake pedal will pulse and may travel
further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise
from the system. This is normal.
The anti-lock braking system will not eliminate the dangers inherent when:
•you drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you.
•your vehicle is hydroplaning.
•you take corners too fast.
•the road surface is poor.

ACCESSING AND ADJUSTING MODES THROUGH YOUR RIGHT
VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY
The display (A) is located on the right side of your instrument cluster.
You can use your steering wheel controls to view and make minor
adjustments to active modes without taking your hands off the wheel.
For example:
•In Entertainment mode, you can view what is now playing, change
the audio source, select memory presets and make some adjustments.
•In Phone mode, you can accept or reject an incoming call.
•In Navigation mode, you can view the current route or activate a
route.
•
In Surplus mode, either butterflies or a gauge represents surplus
(or status). The number of butterflies matches the current surplus or
status distance up to a maximum of sixteen butterflies. If you entered
your next charge destination in the navigation system and you see
butterflies on your screen, then you should be able to make your
destination (you have a Surplus). If you see butterflies but did not
enter your next charge destination, then you should be able to achieve
the range estimate shown at the start of your drive (you have a positive
Status). See theInstrument Clusterchapter for more information.
When you enter or turn off the vehicle, you have the opportunity to view
charging status, charge start and end times as well as the charging mode.
You can also switch your charging mode between Value Charge and
Charge Now. SeeConvenience charging with MyFord mobilein the
High Voltage Batterychapter.

To improve the charging experience, your vehicle has the following
convenience features:
•Value Charge:Your vehicle schedules its charging time for when the
utility rates are lowest. Contact your utility company to see what
rates are available.
•Charge Now:Your vehicle starts charging immediately after you
connect the charging plug.
•My GO Time:
Setting GO Times allows you to control charging
schedules and cabin conditioning settings so your vehicle is ready to
drive when you are. By setting a GO Time, your vehicle can use your
value charge settings to minimize your electricity cost but still prioritize
getting a full charge before your GO Time. A calendar view allows you
to program two GO Times per day for each day of the week.
Note:Remember, you must plug in your vehicle for My GO Time to work.
•Cabin Conditioning:Get the most miles out of every charge by
conditioning your vehicle while it is plugged in. Set the cabin
temperature when you set your GO Time in order to use energy from
your home (or charging station) instead of from your vehicle’s battery.

My GO Time Summary
Temperatureis the chosen cabin conditioning setting for this GO Time.
GO Timeis the time and date of your next set drive time. Your vehicle
automatically schedules charging and cabin conditioning to finish by this
time.
Skipcancels the cabin conditioning for the present GO Time. Once you
touch Skip, the GO Time and Temperature grey out, and the LED
illuminates on the Skip button. Touch the button again to turn on the
cabin conditioning. This feature allows you to ignore the present GO
Time without having to delete it or having to turn off the entire schedule
(seeGO Time Schedulelater in this section). After the present GO
Time passes, the Skip feature resets.
Editaccesses your GO Time Schedule (seeGO Time Schedulelater in
this section)
The system also alerts you to any conflicts by highlighting areas of the
screen in yellow. If your battery cannot have a full charge by the
scheduled drive time, the system highlights your next GO Time and
Charge Complete time, and a messageCharge at GO Time: under
100%appears. This is normal; the vehicle is informing you of the
conflicting situation. This notification only displays when the gearshift
selector lever is in positionP.
Note:Charging occurs as soon as you plug the vehicle in. The system
limits cabin conditioning to 15 minutes before your GO Time.
To eliminate the conflict notification immediately or to prevent a conflict
in the future, try the following:
•Change the present GO Time to occur later.
•Plug the vehicle into a 240V charging station instead of the 120V
convenience cord. Higher power charging yields shorter charge times.
•Plug the vehicle in sooner.
Estimated Charge Time Limits
Batteryshows you the battery’s current charge displayed as a
percentage. A reading of 100% means the battery has a full charge.
A reading of 0% means the battery has no charge.

To fully charge
•240Vis the estimated minimum charging time from the present
high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the
shortest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery
to recharge under ideal conditions. Ideal conditions include a 240V
charging station and a minimum 30A service and high-voltage battery
at a moderate temperature.
Note:This charging time is only an estimate. It is normal for your actual
charge duration to be longer.
Note:Some charging stations use lower voltage (208V), which result in
longer charge times.
•120Vis the estimated maximum charging time from the present
high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the
longest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under normal conditions. Normal conditions include a 120V
convenience cord and 12A service.
Note:This charging time is only an estimate. It is possible for your
actual charge duration to be longer. This occurs when the AC line
voltage is low and may indicate your electrical source is not meeting
certain requirements (seeCharging the high-voltage batteryin the
High Voltage Batterychapter).
Value Charge Profile and Mode
Value Charge profile nameis the name of the presently detected
Value Charge Profile. The system detects a customer defined value
charge profile when the vehicle is within approximately 300 feet
(100 meters) of the GPS location registered for the profile. If the vehicle
is close to more than one charge profile, it chooses the closest. When the
vehicle is not at a defined profile, it uses theDefault Valuecharge
profile. The system normally displaysDefault Profilewhile you are
driving because the vehicle is typically between defined value charge
profiles.
Editallows you to access your Value Charge profiles settings screen
(seeValue Charge Profileslater in this section).
