I bought a 2017 Energi at the end of 2018 at a steep discount. Paid about 24.5k for a 34k MSRP car and ended up at around 18k after the federal tax credit and incentives from the state and county. I did later buy the 8 year 125k mile warranty for around $1700. It has given me great peace of mind and will continue to do so until around 2025. Having said that, after 32k miles, it has given me not one bit of problems. I use the car to commute between homes around 125 miles apart. It gets great gas mileage when on gas which I use very little of in town. I can still go around 25 miles on battery alone. Love this car!

Of course they have a reason to lie. Tow the party line, get funding. Create doubt by saying that the so called consensus might be wrong, no funding. Big incentive to lie.

Yeah. It's a California car so the I think the drivetrain warranty is 10 years or 150k or something like that. I'm just a little worried about all of the other stuff that can go wrong. It is a Ford after all!

Yes. Addiction is a great way to describe it. My wife is puzzled and somewhat amused. I have other cars but this is the one that I prefer to drive now. Good to hear you're at 63K with little trouble. I'm thinking about buying the extended warranty out to 8 years just because of all of the tech.

Never thought I'd own a Ford but I love this car! 2200 miles after about a month of driving. One long trip across the desert to Phoenix was about 1000 miles and the rest is several 125 mile trips between Ventura and Bakersfield and some in town driving on both ends. The quiet while driving in EV is so satisfying. The ride, both on the highway and around town feels like a much larger car (in a good way). Mileage is about what's advertised. Around 43mpg on rhe long trip with no charging. Around 45 or so in town in hybrid mode. Of course everything gets inflated with the charging. I haven't reset trip1 since buying the car and it's showing right around 50mpg overall. That's with charging up probably 10 or 15 times so far. Couldn't be happier. Looking forward to many years with this car.

Just bought a new 2017 FFE. I also am probably not the target market for a plug in hybrid. Love the tech and the fuel mileage. Chalk me up as a climate change skeptic also. I believe the science that has shown that CO2 molecules trap heat. But if the science was truly settled, why do they keep having to adjust the computer models to match what is actually happening. I believe there's much more going on than we currently have the ability to understand. And even if the "climate scientists" are right, do we really want to wreck our economy to fix something that is probably not fixable? The Chinese are not going to stop building coal fired electricity generators anytime soon....Stepping down from soapbox now.

Got a screaming deal on a new 2017 Energi SE this afternoon. Love the car already. Purchased for 25k before tax credit and rebates. After the $4007 fed tax credit and $1500 California rebate and my Utility $480 rebate, my net cost will be $19,013 for a new Energi!
