Well it didn't take too much for us to get an energi.  We had a 09 fusion v6 very nice car but the new fusions just blew us away.  We were looking for a gas version but when actually driving the energi we were hooked.

 

This car is my wifes driver.  I drive a 06 King Ranch which I love.  I also have a 07 GT500 and like one of the other posters find the energi more fun to drive.  After all you can try to get the full potential out of the energi everywhere you drive but that is not the case with a GT500.  Using the potential on the street would result in tickets and possible jail time.

 

Looked into also getting a full electric focus but without the DC quick charge available I decided to wait on that one.

 

So we are very excited and already are electric hybrid "nutz".

 

We live 22 miles outside of a metropolitan area.  It works out we use the EV mode entirely everytime we drive.  There is a bling network which we have subscribed to but generally we just save the EV mode for town and do the EVlater on the way in.  Recharging stations just do not seem all that convienent to plug in for 2 1/2 hours and at a rate of 1.00 per hour not the best deal.  Close to where we drive is a DC quick charge station that we wish our car had the setup to use.  Come on Ford, make that happen, maybe a retrofit kit for our energi"s?

 

We look forward to reading about your experiences and sharing ours.
