+Myriam Joire of +Engadget went for a spin in one of the new Ford Focus Electrics in San Francisco the other day and shot a video with +Ford Motor Company engineer Bill Frykman to get a rundown on the MyFord Mobile app.

The Focus Electric has come a long way since I drove one of the first development mules just over three years ago. http://green.autoblog.com/2009/01/14/abg-quick-drive-ford-focus-ev-mule-w-video/
