I had a 2012 Focus for 3 years but never towed it, and the owners manual to our Focus Electric says in no uncertain terms that towing it under any circumstances is strictly verboten--even in emergency situations I have to insist on getting a flatbed. Which is pretty sad as the Focus Electric would be perfect for touring locally around campgrounds (and you can use the 50A plug at the campground to charge up).
Towing a Focus with a dolly is probably very similar to our towing my wife's Escape with our dolly (the Escape is based off of the Focus although it does have a different transmission). On the dolly we just leave it in neutral and switch off. Have to start the engine at every stop, otherwise the battery will go dead (I'm rigging up a charge cable from the RV trailer plug to hook to the Escape's battery to rectify that situation).
