Ford actually unveiled the Focus Electric at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, not in Detroit. The two shows are only days apart, though.
The Focus Electric, which will go on sale late next year, is based on the next-generation Ford Focus, a car you'll be seeing at dealerships soon. Ford bills the Focus Electric as a fun-to-drive electric car but what may get the most attention could be the three hour charge time. That's half the time it takes to charge a Nissan Leaf.
NEXT: Ford C-Max
