最近一份泄露的文件证实，福特计划推出升级版的2017款福克斯电动车。这次升级主要是配备了更大容量电池，从而进一步增加行驶里程。新车搭载的电池将从目前的23千瓦时提升至33.5千瓦时，这46%的容量提升将使车辆续航里程达到约110英里（约合177公里），而现行版行驶里程为76英里（约合122公里）。虽然新车续航里程达到现代Ioniq电动版和日产聆风续航水平，但仍落后于雪佛兰Bolt的200英里（约合322公里）。而聆风也将进行全面升级，新车也将配备更大容量电池。新车配备的直流快充电器可以在30分钟时间充满80%电量。福特预计将在今年洛杉矶车展发布2017款福克斯电动车，新车将于年底上市。

 

Spec sheet confirms 2017 Ford Focus Electric to get bigger battery

A leaked document has confirmed Ford's planned upgrades for its 2017 Focus Electric. Chief among the updates for the compact EV will be a bigger battery that will provide an increased driving range.

 

According to the sheet the Focus Electric's battery will grow from 23 kWh to 33.5 kWh. That 46 percent improvement should net a driving range of about 110 miles, up from the car's current 76 mile rating.

 

Although that larger battery will put the Focus Electric on equal footing with the Hyundai Ioniq Electric and Nissan Leaf in terms of overall range, it'll still fall short of the 200 miles promised by the Chevrolet Bolt. Moreover, the Leaf is due for an overhaul, at which point Nissan will likely address battery capacity.

 

The new Focus Electric will at least boast DC fast charging that's capable of providing an 80 percent charge in about 30-minutes.

 

Ford is expected to unveil its 2017 Focus Electric at the 2016 Los Angeles auto show. The revised EV should hit Ford showrooms by the end of the year.
