SorinOfInnistrad Posted January 28, 2021 at 04:10 PM Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 at 04:10 PM I just got my 2017 Fusion Energi and I am curious on a few things. 1. When the EV battery is depleted, if I am going downhill, will it charge the EV battery back up and give EV only miles again? 2. I am planning on a 500ish mile road trip. I am curious if I am able to set the car to drive as if the EV battery is just a very large Hybrid battery? I am going to be driving at 80mph and wouldn't get much use of the EV only mode.

murphy Posted January 28, 2021 at 04:52 PM Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 at 04:52 PM 1. Yes. Someone fully charged the battery coming down from the top of Pike's Peak. 2. Put the car in EV Later mode each time you turn it on. It will not use the whole battery in hybrid mode although each time you turn it on the battery level will be a little lower. Use EV Now for slow speed driving around town. Use EV Later for high speed driving on throughways. I have a 2013 and it has been in Auto less than 5% of the time.
