If it's a Ruby Red Energi Titanium with under 20,000 miles, and the VIN ends in 276439, then that's ours. Great car. Cost us just sales tax over 3 years. Fusion Energis have very small trunks due to batteries, and only 21 miles of electric range. We went 100% EV.

For anyone's future knowledge: Tried selling this. I am great selling used vehicles, always get a premium price. On this, not so much. No one seeking it. Tried selling on AutoTrader. They classify the vehicles automatically, based on VIN. Fusion Energi is not categorized right, it gets listed as a Ford Fusion Energi, no trim. I have a Ford Fusion Energi, with a trim, i.e. Titanium. Because there is no trim, the vehicle is basically invisible. AutoTrader promised a fix in 3 to 5 business days, then asked for another 3 to 5 business days. I got a refund. Cargurus is only $5, and there is a reason for that. Craigslist is my goto for selling vehicles. This time, one inquiry. In short, Ford killed the customer's quest for this vehicle by getting rid of sedans. Now for the good news. In 2018, this vehicle had an MSRP of $39,390. We got it with A-Plan, $34,155.76. We leased it, because Ford had $11,007 in rebates if you leased it. That's a net $23,148.76. Yes, we had fees - $645 acquisition fee, and of course interest (very low) on the lease payments. In total we laid out, with sales tax, a hair over $27,000 including the cost to get the new title to sell it (Ford blocked Carvana and other companies from doing direct transfers). We sold it on 10/19/21 to Carvana for $25,546. So our total cost, over 3 years and near 17,000 miles, excluding one oil change, insurance (we'd insure any car we owned), gas, etc. was a bit over $1,700 or less than $600 a year. Carvana initially priced it in the mid $22,000s, but we didn't have title. We got title, but then had to go out of town, twice, and lost the promised price. We then did our "final" price, and had until late October to take it. Then they raised the price by $3,000... And we took it. And then repriced it the night prior and it was $250 higher and they agreed to add that too. The day after it dropped $680.

Bump. $24,350. KBB values at $22,877 - $25,688 for private sale.

Yes. I know. Thx.

My solution was to put a smart plug on the outlet (rated for 15amps) that only supplies power to the charger during the low rates times.

Yes, it is a common issue that the vehicle ignores the charging profile. We have peak power rates from 11AM to 7PM, Mon-Fri. All other hours, and weekends, are rates are much lower. On an irregular basis, the vehicle ignores the charging profile and starts charging. People said "it's because it's totally discharged." Nope. It does it when it's totally discharged, and doesn't do it when it's totally discharged. And it does it when it's only 1/3rd discharged. Since Covid-19, we have been driving it little, preferring to take our F-150 and load food into coolers and bins. When we drive it once every week or two, it is now always ignoring the charging profile. We set an alarm for 7PM and go plug it in. Ford's EV software is very lacking. Eager to see how they make it work with the new F-150 and Mustang E.

I have a placard on the seat - UNPLUG CHARGER.

My Energi can't be setup in FordPass. It works fine in MyFordMobile.

Which is not relevant, since a Fusion Energi cannot be setup in FordPass.

I have no such option. I have three options in the Information Section, and no System Check.

This is not in any menu, nor in MyFordMobile for our 2018 Fusion Energi. Can't use FordPass. Has anyone been successful in displacing their % Oil Life Remaining?

Last year when I set Go Times in MyFordMobile, then didn't take. Had to put them in at the car to get them to take. This year same thing. MyFordMobile is simply a poor platform.

Just to be clear, the rates are set by the company YOU WORK FOR, not by ChargePoint. Just making sure that's clear. Recently stayed at a Hampton Inn by Hilton that had old GE chargers that no one has used in years. ChargePoint bought out that network years ago. Long story short, the hotel got them working by calling ChargePoint and agreed to foot the cost until they worked things out with ChargePoint. The original GE network was NOT free. For what these vehicles get on a charge, in miles per charge hour, it's not worth paying anything IMO. At less than $2.50 per gallon of gas, it barely pays to charge at home.

We bought our 2018 late September 2018. Longest trip was 2 hours each way, until we decided to drive it on a 1,400 mile roundtrip with another 600 or so miles of local driving. Didn't have to fuel much, and with some overnight charging we averaged just over 40MPG for the trip, including 1,400 highway miles and the 600 local miles. Used 50 gallons of gas, instead of 100 gallons our F-150 would have used. Things we learned: - Grade Assist can add quite a bit to battery when going downhill - we used this coming down some steep highways near the Smokey Mountains. At one point we added about 13 miles to an empty battery. Too bad it resets after you turn the car off, we sometimes forgot to re-engage it. - While speed kills MPG on many vehicles, we drove around 73MPH and still got in the high 30s on the highway. - While the trunk space is absurdly small, a big duffel and a little duffel fit all our clothes, and we put two coolers on the seats and fit just fine.

None at all.

That's correct. We sold our Hybrid after 9 years. Before we sold I asked our Service Manager if the battery could be tested, and he confirmed that all they could do is test it for faults, not capacity.

Notifications are on. Car knows it's HOME. Shows ready to charge at 7PM when the Value Charge period starts. We've gone into the garage a few times between when it's plugged in and the start of the Value Charge period, and have not caught the fan running again. Wild guess is that the temps were close to 70 that day, and not since, so it hasn't been running... Of course one could ask why the fan isn't running without the car being plugged in IF the car senses the batteries need more cooling...

I do. When we plug in the car at 3:30 ish, and you check the app, it says it will start charging at 7PM. It's done charging well before the end of your value charge period, which is 7PM - 11AM (peak is 11AM - 7PM). My point is that it should not be using electricity before then unless it tells me.

It's irrelevant where the car is originally sold. Warranty for California applies in California, no where else.

I find Ford's "advances" unimpressive, range increases are very lacking. I hope that in 2 1/2 years when we're ready to buy an SUV they have something that's worth talking about.

We just experienced a similar issue today. Car returned home around 3:30, as it always does, totally depleted. Wife plugged it in. Charging is set for 7PM. Ring was not lit, not did website or app indicate it was charging. Went into garage around 5:50 and heard fan running. Unplugged car, fan stopped. Facts: - to get to 10% battery doesn't take over 2 hours. So it wasn't charging. - it's 70 degrees out. Shouldn't require 2+ hours of cooling, and if it did it should cool without battery. I'm annoyed. I don't want it to charge until 7PM. I do know that they rolled out a new backend recently, but have no idea what they changed. In short, Ford's software isn't great. Their support of the software isn't great. We only bought the Energi over the Hybrid due to its lower cost - otherwise we wouldn't have bought it. When the lease is up I plan to sell it, and will be hard pressed to buy another Energi-Ford, should an SUV exist with adequate capability, unless they've made some big strides.

Stone caught between the brake rotor and the wheel. Drive slowly while someone walks next to the vehicle to see if they can pinpoint which side it's coming from.

Right. We're going to take it and not worry. Should be fine.
