The 2012 Ford Focus Electric will be available for sale next year and will be the second all electric car from a big automaker to hit the showroom after the Nissan Leaf. Unlike the Leaf, the EV Focus is completely based on an existing car and platform so it looks and even drives like the gasoline power version of the car. Ford says the Focus Electric will go over 70 miles on a full charge and take 3 hours to fill up with electrons when plugged into a 240V Charging station. We recently had the chance to take a tour of the Wayne, Michigan factory where the EV Focus is being built. Check out this video preview of the Electric car face of Ford
