Oops! No off color remarks intended,Megan. Next time I'll verify who the poster is!

Just got my 18 last week. Congratulations to us both. Returned a 2015 from lease. Very satisfied and impressed by the car. Spend some time digging through the owners manual. You will be surprised how much more you have than you thought. The tech in this vehicle is amazing. Let's drive the pants off of them!

Are there any recommended 220V charging units for my 2018 Ford Fusion Energi?

Thank you!

Very cool.We're on the second year of ownership of our Energi, and still being amazed by finding out new features of this car. Thanks.

Can you explain what you mean by "driving in L?"

Verified all this, you are right. Horn honks twice. Should get my attention.

Believe you are right, my wife has noticed this. Thanks.

Is there a warning if the engine is left running and you walk away? With the keyfob in your pocket or purse?

I could live with that. Thanks for the discussion.

Good to know. Thanks.

I understand your points of view. But an exposed electrical connector in a driving rainstorm, and we are gearing up for El Nino out here on the West Coast, would give me concern. Even worse, spray thrown up by a passing vehicle. And wet electrical connectors corrode. Ever notice the precautions taken on outdoor 120 volt boxes on the outside of a house? Ah yes, the unlocked gas tank. A ready source of fuel for cash strapped teenagers. I remember it well. I still remember the taste of gasoline from the siphon hose. Thanks for the memories. Appreciate your input. Together we can come to the correct solution. In the meantime, I'll be watching for an after market charge port door lock.

I have found the charging port door open coming back to my car in a shopping center parking lot, not at a charging station. I suspect someone passed by and said " wonder what's behind this little door?" If it had started raining while it was open and the port electrical connections got wet, it could have caused quite a problem. I can live with a little inconvenience.

I have come back to my Energi in a parking lot and found the Charge Port door open. It may have been my fault, but seeing all those electrical connections begging to be messed with worries me. Has anybody considered a door with a cable release from inside, or better yet, electrical with button enabled by proximity of Key Fob? We protect our gas fill door, why not this one?

Welcome and congrats. Come back here often, lots of good info available.

Finished a 805.7 mile trip today up and over the Sierra Nevada mountain range, 7 days in all. Plug in charging not available. 47 mpg overall, 332 EV miles. Long slow crawl up over Tioga Pass, good regenerative braking on the way down to Yosemite. Best EV only performance approx 76 MPGe. Don't clearly understand how MPGe is calculated, believe this means ICE doesn't run. Previous vehicle was a 2011 Fusion Hybrid. The Energi appears to do a little better in Hybrid mode. Really appreciate all the driver assist gadgets.

Where are the cooling vents - the ones you are not supposed to block - for the HV Battery located?

What's a safe bug removal product for the paint on the new Fusion Energi? I know many products exist but I didn't want to take a chance as there are new paint finishes out there. Thanks.

Magnetic Metallic, (grey, marketing hype), all the bells and whistles. Started reading the manual, the car is way smarter than I am.

Just took delivery of 2015 Energi Titanium and so far all looks good. Appreciate all the help available here. I'll be back! Davonavo.
