Focus Electric

  • 46 miles
I was stopped at a light in a traffic jam. Worried that I would run out electricity, I shut off the car. When I tried to proceed, the car would not move, and a warning of "safely stop now" illuminated on the dash. I tried "restarting" the car several times. The car would seem to "start, " but would not move forward -- as if the gear would not engage. After several minutes, and with a policeman leaning into the window barking suggestions, the car started and proceeded. Perhaps, when I stopped trying to start the car, the car wholly powered-off. Essentially "power cycling" the car.
