Electric cars are all the rage these days, and it seems like Ford has joined the fray with their all-electric Focus. Debutting in Las Vegas at the CES 2011 (Computer Electronics Show), this new Focus is powered by energy-efficient lithium-ion batteries. Ford hasn't revealed to us the power output yet, but they did say that this car's top speed is 84 MPH and has the same EPA mileage rating of the Chevy Volt. Charging the battery only takes about 3-4 hours, half as much time as the Nissan Leaf. The car also features a new interior with new stitchings and a new dashboard with details and specs about your car. The Focus Electric is also MyFord optimized. MyFord is a new system developed hand-in-hand with MapQuest giving you the ability to unlock and lock doors from anywhere in the world. You can also locate your car via MapQuest from anywhere in the world. This app will be available on Blackberries, Androids, and iPhones everywhere. With all this new technology coming out, it seems that we have entered the future. No pricing has been revealed for this car, but it will be sold in Atlanta, Austin, Houston, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Detroit, San Francisco, San Diego, New York, Orlando, Phoenix, Tucson, Portland, Raleigh Durham, Richmond, Seattle, and Washington D.C.
