Video Summary

Here's a summary of the YouTube video, focusing on the Ford Focus Electric:
- This newer Ford Focus Electric has CCS plug DC fast charging support, a bigger battery pack compared to the older model.
- The interior has a mix of semi-soft plastic and some leather.
- Leather seats combined with fabric which you can manually adjust the headrest. Electric seats are also included in the car but do not have memory.
- There is reasonable space in the back, just a normal amount for a standard Ford Focus.
- It features door protectors that pop out, then disappear again.
- The trunk has limited space because the bigger battery pack takes up a third of it.
- The interior has an analog gauge and color displays. The screen in the dash is a touch screen, but can be a bit slow.
- The range of 150 kilometers is a bit low.
- The backup camera is on par with Ioniq’s.
- The gear lever is huge and has the same functions as a gasoline car. It is front-wheel drive.
- The reviewer likes that it is powerful, with 142 horsepower.
- There's a noticeable artificial delay in the electrical motor's response. The motor also has a prominent noise.
- The car handles corners pretty well, but there is some torque steer.
- Conclusion: For a high price, there are better EVs to buy in its class. It does have its good qualities, but you should definitely look at other cars.
