howardbc Posted July 3, 2014 at 05:55 PM Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 at 05:55 PM I was pleased to see this article this morning: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1093111_june-plug-in-car-sales-surprise-ford-fusion-beats-chevy-volt It seems like I never hear about the Ford Fusion Energi in the media.

Fat Fusion Posted July 4, 2014 at 12:27 AM Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 at 12:27 AM I have a friend who bought a volt. He HATES it. But, hey his other cars are an AMG Merc and a SRT8 Cherokee. I'd hate the volt too if I had those beasts to drive. His commute is pretty brutal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_h Posted July 4, 2014 at 11:45 AM Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 at 11:45 AM There are a couple "Energi vs Volt" threads here that were active about a year ago, here is one that has some input from a Volt owner. http://www.fordfusionenergiforum.com/topic/730-energi-vs-volt-advice-pls/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russael Posted July 4, 2014 at 02:07 PM Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 at 02:07 PM I still almost never see these cars in the wild. I see the CMAX Energi more than I see Fusion Energi's... and more CMAX hybrids than Fusion Hybrids. I did see a white Fusion Energi over at my local Meijer about 2 weeks ago, saw another white one about a mile from the office at Newburgh and Ford Rd... and saw another one yesterday in my subdivision parked out in the street (someone must've been visiting someone else). That one was sunset orange. Prior to these, last time I've seen one was last year. I usually notice the badging on the door first since only the hybrids and Energi get that treatment. At my office, 2 people drive Volts and they love'em. Too bad the corporation I work for is too cheap to install charging stations. howardbc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardbc Posted July 4, 2014 at 09:13 PM Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 at 09:13 PM I agree, Russael. In the 1 year and 3 months that I've had my 2013 FFE, I have yet to see another single one on the street. I just saw one parked in a shopping mall the other day, but never on the road. I know they're selling them, because I stopped by the closest Ford dealer the other day and a salesman said they are selling a lot of them - maybe the most in the country, according to him. I belong to the Phoenix chapter of the Electric Auto Assn and not another member owns an FFE. Most have Teslas or Nissan Leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
