Don't get me wrong, we've plugged in at least 5 times in the two weeks we've had it, I'm just not currently able to plug it in every single night. And like someone said, it's a lease, with an 8 year warranty on the battery anyway. Lithium ion batteries today are much more resilient than their old counterparts. My husband is an electrical engineer that works with batteries every day, so I'm inclined to trust his advice. :)

We ended up going with the Energi because the payments were just so much less than the Hybrid with all the incentives. Still no spot to plug in, but my manager at work is surprisingly supportive of the EV movement and we're currently researching chargers to install. Even without plugging in, it's still a darn good hybrid :) Hopefully, we'll be able to move somewhere soon where we can plug in at home.

2015 FFE Titanium, Z plan, sticker was ~40k. Had a trade in (but we owed just about what it was worth, so negligible effect), only down payment was first month payment. $330/month, 10500 miles/year, 36 months.

Hi all. My husband and I have been extensively looking at Fusion Hybrids. Last weekend at the dealer, the sales manager let us in on how great the lease deals on the Energi are. In terms of monthly payments, the Energi would be the most affordable Fusion for us. However, we don't currently have a reliable place to charge it. We rent a condo, and so far, I don't think I'd be able to charge at work. The closest charger is at a Ford dealer about 2 miles away. I know you don't NEED to plug in, but I guess I would feel a little silly having a plug in that I can't charge anywhere. Are we crazy? Should we just go back to looking at the regular hybrids instead?
