Ford Focus Electric Eliminates Over Two Dozen Components That Require Regular Servicing

Feb. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Metro Ford of Schenectady NY (http://metrofordny.com) announces that when it comes to maintenance, the all-new Ford Focus Electric rewrites the owner’s manual.

The battery electric drivetrain in the Focus Electric reduces the number of moving mechanical components compared with a conventional internal combustion-engined vehicle. And that means Focus Electric drivers will spend far less time and money on maintenance.

Here are the top 25 items that usually require inspection, maintenance or replacement during the 10-year, 150,000-mile life of a conventional car that the driver of a Ford Focus Electric will never have to worry about:

Air filter
Alternator
Battery
Clutch
Fuel filter
Fuel injectors/fuel pump
Motor mounts
Motor oil
Muffler

O2 sensors
Power steering fluid
