FOREWORD The emergency response procedures for the Focus electric vehicle are similar to those for hybrid electric vehicles with the same considerations for the high-voltage electric system components. The Focus electric vehicle uses an electric motor to power the vehicle. Electricity is stored in high-voltage battery packs.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) IDENTIFICATION Focus electric vehicles are identified by the Electric badges located on the left and right front doors. There is an Electric nameplate on the trunk lid that also includes the green leaf/blue highway icon. Electric nameplate and icon on Electric nameplate and icon the front doors.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION (CONTINUED) • The Focus electric powertrain is identified by the orange high-voltage underhood cabling. Orange high-voltage cabling from the high-voltage battery packs • The 5th, 6th and 7th digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) identify the Focus electric. VIN POSITIONS VEHICLE 5, 6 and 7...
