2018 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC charging

General
•
Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated
place.
• Protect from sunlight, if possible.
• If you store vehicles outside, they
require regular maintenance to protect
against rust and damage.
Body
• Wash your vehicle thoroughly to
remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from
exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing
and the underside of front fenders.
• Periodically wash your vehicle if you
store it in exposed locations.
• Touch-up exposed or primed metal to
prevent rust.
• Cover chrome and stainless steel parts
with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent
discoloration. Re-wax as necessary
when you wash your vehicle.
• Lubricate all hood, door and luggage
compartment hinges and latches with
a light grade oil.
• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and
solvents.
Electric Motor
• Start your vehicle every 15 days for a
minimum of 15 minutes with the
climate controls set to defrost.
High Voltage Battery
• Make sure the high voltage battery has
a minimum charge of 50%. Cooling System
•
Protect against freezing temperatures.
• When removing your vehicle from
storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm that there are no cooling
system leaks and that fluid is at the
recommended level.
12V Battery
• Check and recharge as necessary. Keep
connections clean.
• If storing your vehicle for more than 30
days without recharging the battery,
we recommend that you disconnect
the battery cables to maintain battery
charge for quick starting.
Note: It is necessary to reset memory
features if you disconnect the battery
cables.
We recommend the following options for
your plug-in vehicle:
• Leave your vehicle plugged in. The 12V
battery maintains power if left plugged
in. However, this periodically uses
electricity from the household outlet.
• Connect a battery charger to your 12V
battery and leave it on a continuous,
slow charge.
• Disconnect the 12V battery.
Brakes
• Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
Tires
• Maintain recommended air pressure.

Range Rings and Charge Points
Shaded rings appear on the map when you
are driving. The inner ring with no shading
indicates a safe range you can travel with
the current battery charge. The lightly
shaded outer band reflects areas you may
or may not be able to reach. If your destination is within this band, enter it into
the navigation system and use the budget
features in the instrument cluster to help
you manage your vehicle energy usage.
The darker shaded area, beyond the rings,
is unlikely to be within range on the current
battery charge.
The rings represent approximate ranges.
Actual route distances, road grades,
vehicle speed, accessory usage and other
conditions affect how far your vehicle can
travel before recharging.You can select charging POI's to always
be shown on the map when the scale is
5 mi (8 km) or lower.

To improve the charging experience, your vehicle has the following convenience
features:
Description
Feature
Your vehicle schedules its charging time for when the utility rates
are lowest. Contact your utility company to see what rates are
available.
Value Charge
Your vehicle starts charging immediately after you connect the
charging plug.
Charge Now
Get the most miles out of every charge by conditioning your
plugged in vehicle. Set the cabin temperature when you set your
GO Time in order to use energy from your home, or charging
station, instead of your vehicle battery.
Cabin Conditioning
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 costs 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.
My GO Times
Note: Remember, you must plug in your vehicle for My GO Time
to work.
Note: Value Charge is not available when
using DC Fast Charge. If climate control is
left on when the vehicle is powered off
before plugging in to a DC Fast Charge
Station, the vehicle cabin will be
conditioned to
72°F (22°C) while Fast
Charging. See Charging the High Voltage
Battery
(page 110). Note:
Charging to 100% by your next GO
Time will always be the priority. When Value
Charge is selected, charging outside of
off-peak times may be necessary in order
to be fully charged by your GO Time.
Charge Settings Screen
Each of the four areas highlighted below
show a different feature of the charge
settings screen.

To eliminate the conflict notification
immediately or to prevent a conflict in the
future, try the following:
•
Switch the present GO Time to occur
later. •
Plug the vehicle into a high current
charging station instead of using the
low current convenience cord. Higher
power charging yields shorter charge
times.
• Plug the vehicle in sooner.
