I have the same problem with the passcode on my Droid X2. I followed the instructions and loaded in a 4 number passcode and verified it. The next time I tried to get into myfordmobile, there was no option to use the passcode. I have to use a million touches to log in.

Agree lots. I find the Fusion VERY good looking, especially for something so plebian as a midsized four door sedan. The Accord just looks gorped up and dumpy. Besides, it is not even available anywhere but NY and CA.

My commute is 32 miles one way. Neither the Fusion Energi nor the Accord plug-in will give me EV commutes, eh? Maybe I should get a Leaf. Not.

Where did you get this description? it doesn't align very well with the Consumer Reports description,.. especially concerning the HV Charge Mode.

The local sales guys in the Ford dealerships in my area (SW side of Atlanta) are clueless as well. The one here in Newnan said something like, "Nah, we don't do none of that hybrid crap. We just sell real cars and trucks. It's all just a tree-hugger fad anyway."

That thought would apply if I were to get an Accord. I'd much rather get a Fusion Energi. I just wish it would charge the battery while droning down the interstate. Maybe I could tow a trailer with a portable generator on it, and run the charging cord from the generator to the to charging socket!! ;-)

Excellent point.

Apparently you didn't read my post very completely. In it I stated, "I realize this HV charge mode would use a little more gas, and seems to run counter to the reason for the plug-in charging,..." I KNOW it isn't very efficient, but there are a few recurring situations for me where it will be very handy to use the battery for 20 miles around town, the hop in the car for a trip, drive 400 miles, then have 20 miles of battery mode available as soon as the 400 mile trip is complete.. It would be inconvenient to sit around waiting for the battery to get charged up,.. so,... I am willing to sacrifice some efficiency in this particular situation to be able to charge the thing while spending a few hours on the interstate.

I am about to purchase a Fusion Energi, but I recently read a review comparing it to the Honda Accord plug-in hybrid. -- The Fusion came out better overall, but the Honda did have one feature I like a LOT,.. an HV charge mode that will charge a depleted battery while cruising along. -- So,... you could bop around in the morning on battery only and use it all up, then hop in the car for a trip, and a few hours later when you get to your destination, the battery would be charged up, allowing you to bop around town on the battery again. -- I realize this HV charge mode would use a little more gas, and seems to run counter to the reason for the plug-in charging, but in some circumstances, it would be handy to not have to wait to charge the thing up when you desired EV mode. Does the Fusion Energi have anything like this? If you deplete the battery, and the car then has to go to hybrid mode, is it impossible to get the battery charged back up unless you can plug the car in to a charging station? Thanks for any info.
