A set of electrically powered Ford Focus models were shown off at the Frankfurt Auto Show in advance of a demonstration partially sponsored by the British government, but stateside owners can benefit from fuel efficient used Ford Focuses in New Jersey while they wait.

Engineers at Ford of Europe are working with British universities to test 15 of the compact cars in real-life testing over a variety of driving conditions.

“Electrification is a key element in the effective use of Ford’s global resources and talents,” said John Fleming, Ford of Europe chairman and CEO. “The development of this fleet of Focus BEV prototypes is an important step in our goal of delivering more efficient and sustainable mobility solutions.”

While those cars may be the future, gas-sipping used Ford Focuses in New Jersey are available now, including the 2004 model which comes in a variety of configuarations such as sedans and hatchbacks.

“The 2004 Ford Focus is a wonderful small car that’s fun to drive [and] frugal with fuel,” note Edmunds.com editors, adding that it has a “spacious interior” coupled with a “fun-to-drive character.”
