Thanks for all the great answers you have really helped i am seriously thinking about buying one there is still plenty of HOV stickers available which is a big plus and the gas money (about $300)i will be saving can be put towards a nice restomod weekend car or just in my pocket :shift: if any other people want to share what they are paying for insurance please do the 2 answers are really far apart lol. i still really want to know if subwoofers have a huge impact on battery or the EV in general i will try some audio forums i will post back here if i get some information for you kind folks in case anyone is interested i cant be the only young(or thinks still young) guy here :hysterical:

so im looking to buy a fusion energi to replace my bmw 745 which is killing me on gas the payment is about 430 but i spend about another 400 on premium gas a month plus insurance im looking close to 1k a month for this car so i was thinking of buying the fusion energi and saving that 400 on gas but im relaizing as i read i cant make it to work on just battery power :( but i have some questions for you great owners. 1. my work is 35 miles away half city half fwy or i can take another route and do almost all highway i like to cruise around 80 lol but will tone it down if i need to for gas...so if im learning anything i will get around 22 miles to work running of the batteries then the motor will kick in right? 2. is the fusion hybrid better for my commute at 47/47? 3. anyone add a subwoofer to an electric vehicle? i need my music so this might be a deal breaker if i cant add a subwoofer or two without messing up anything since its an EV. 4. average insurance people are paying? 5. i read on here only the first 40k cars are getting the HOV sticker is this true? and has that limit been reached?

thanks guys for the answers, i think i got it now...im thinking about purchasing the fusion energi but still learning all the lingo and doing research. so if my work is 35 miles away half city half hwy i will get an estimated 21 miles driven then it will start using gas only right? is that what you mean by switching to hybrid mode?

im new and have a stupid question but i keep seeing people say about 22 miles so if the car is fully charged you are only getting 22 miles? i though it is supposed to be around 100 electric miles (slow speeds) before gas motor kicks in :headscratch: or am i thinking all wrong here?
