Estimated prices by model year, from its price when new and typical EV depreciation, and the real-world range you can expect today after about 2% battery wear a year. These are estimates, not valuations: mileage, condition and battery health make a big difference.

Summary
The Ford Focus Electric is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2013 to 2015, when it cost £28,500 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 11.4 seconds, slower than 93% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 65 miles (105 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is the shortest of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and the shortest of 67 hatchbacks.
It uses around 3.3 mi/kWh (186 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 19.55 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 0 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 47 miles (75 km) at motorway speeds.
No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L).
Second-hand, a 2013 example is estimated at £2,100–£4,200 and a 2015 one at £3,000–£5,200, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2013 car should still manage about 50 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
