Ford reconfirmed the rollout of its electric Focus today, reiterating that it will meet the original goal of sales beginning in 2011, and clarify rumors that the vehicle had been delayed. The car will be available in California and New York by the end of the year, and as production ramps up in the spring of 2012, will be available in an additional 19 markets (read the full details of Ford’s plan for launching the electric Focus here). Those of you pining for an electric Focus outside of New York and California will just have to wait just a bit longer for electric fulfillment. Ford has issued the following statement on the subject:
“Ford remains on schedule to deliver the initial Focus Electrics by the end of the year. As previously communicated to dealers, the first few months of Focus Electric production will be concentrated on delivering vehicles to California and New York. Our dealers in those areas will be the first to have their retail orders scheduled and receive the Focus Electric. We will be rolling out to the remainder of the initial Focus Electric markets starting with production ramp up in Spring 2012.”
