stevon Posted December 1, 2015 at 05:52 PM Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 at 05:52 PM (edited) Picked up a Titanium Fusion Energi on Sunday. Was a giant hassle to negoiate a deal with my trade in car (Spark EV), pay off bank loan ($27k) and get an affordable lease. Shoping for a car and asking for and getting a hand written quote is virtually impossible!

stevon Posted December 8, 2015 at 10:34 PM Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 at 10:34 PM Hybridbear, It was a combination of things. My new girlfriend hated the Spark EV, Range anxiety, too much time spent charging, Problems while charging in public, hassles at work. I only live 7 miles from work and can charge at work L1. Even if I totally use up the battery, 7 hours is the maximum time needed to fully charge on 120 volt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have come with a 6.6 kW (or greater) onboard charger like the other BEVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
