Yes, you don't have to plug this in at all if you don't want. You can drive it as a 100% gas car. I have a PHEV Jeep (28 miles electric) and it's just enough to run the kids to school, grab lunch, pick them up again, run to Costco, and get home all on electric. If I run out of battery, the gas engine kicks on and I have another 250 miles of range. When we do road trips, you basically run out of electric within 15 minutes and then it's just a gas vehicle the rest of the way. PHEV vehicles are not ones that you'd charge at a public charger (you could, it would be dumb). Electric at home, gas anywhere else.
Oh, and you can also run this hybrid (battery + engine on) and then you have a very efficient gas vehicle with the added power of electric. When it's cold (under 15 f) the car will not run in electric only - just hybrid.

A plug-in hybrid CAN act as a full EV for limited range (15~50miles, typically).

But you could also never plug it in, and use it as a typical hybrid vehicle, where the regenerative braking (the otherwise wasted energy is used to recharge the battery) yields improved MPG.

...But if you really think you will never get any use out of it being a Plug-in hybridk, typical non-PH hybrids are always cheaper.

I drive a Chevrolet Volt PHEV. It has 50 miles of electric range (13KWH battery). It really is a sweet spot as a second car for mostly in town driving, or a full-electric alternative for a single car household.

I plug it in to 110 (12A) outlet overnight and get a full charge in about 10 hours. Most days that I drive it I only use the electric power. On days I drive more or if I forget to plug it in, I just use the gas in the tank. It has a 9 Gallon fuel tank which gives about 325 miles of driving on gas.

When I go on road trips I put it in gas mode while I'm on the highway and save the battery for when I'm doing city driving or hit stop and go traffic. On long trips (600M) the volt averages about 40mpg of mostly gas driving.

Outside of long road trips I buy gas once every 3-4 months. My electric bill is high, but it's still only about $100/month in electricity for 30-50 miles of driving each day (California, 15c/KWh). I don't have severe winters where I live, so the cold is only a factor when I go to the ski hill.

If you truly intend to never charge the PHEV, then get a non-plug in hybrid instead. PHEV cars have a larger battery which means driving around more weight burns more fuel. If you're never charging that battery to full, then there's no use in hauling it around.

I am lucky that I have a local gas station the sells real gas at a reasonable prices. I've seen what ethanol can do to engines. Plus non ethanol gas gets better MPG. This country needs to end ethanol subsidies

Nice. And a Prius gets 60-70mpg hwy. Here's an article about the amazing Prius: http://www.cleanmpg.com/community...ads/57313/
yeah my 2012 prius gets 70 regullarly I had to replace the Nickle cadmium with LiPo4. Cost was 1200 USD but the old batteries were bad. Prius is about the same space as this. Just not an "SUV".

I did the buyback as well it was mostly Fair other than I'd just put tires on it. Just be aware that Ford wasn't quick with the paperwork if you're expecting to use the funds to pay for something else.
How long did the paperwork take to get processed? Was going to get a Model 3 with the 0% financing so it can take a while, hope not months.

The dealer was truly amazing today. Probably my best dealership experience ever. Very smooth transaction and friendly folks.

For reference, it was not charged and I drove 200 mi through the mountains of North Carolina. I got 45 mi to the gallon. 75 of the miles were purely electric.

I have a home charger that I'll be using and that's why the value for me in the plug-in is so sweet.
Hey BenM2131,

I'm hoping to replicate your deal. Pls PM me info of dealership and your invoice details. Much appreciated Smilie

Thank you! Smilie

Toyota reliability is impressive. Friend had a 2002 or 2004, not sure. He was outside sales in ag produce and put 350,000 on it before selling it. Said he only replaced the tires, oil changes, filters, and 1 set of brake pads. Damn impressive. But smaller for sure than this Escape.

Quote from darkhunter00 :
Sorry if dumb question but if someone was more rural with limited charging options, could you buy and just drive this as a normal gas car? Would you still get some benefit from the battery if you never plugged it in?

I am just confused on what I read when I googled. It says the battery can charge from braking and the engine so it will just "naturally" charge while doing normal driving ?

Is this still a good deal if used this way ?
For rural, generally gas car and hybrid are better value if you plan to own for 10 to 20 years. Highway mpg is better, less repair cost.

For urban with a garage with solar roof, EV hybrid is balance for stop and go driving, short distances, use it as generator when power lines are out.

Gas Car 60mpg highway, 30mpg city, $500 battery
Hybrid 60mpg highway, 60mpg city, $2000 battery
EV Hybrid 40mpg highway, 100mpg city, $8000 battery
Full EV 80mpg highway, 120mpg city, $24000 battery

No thanks, I don't want to die in a fiery crash. Teslas as a brand are the deadliest cars on the road per mile.

Over 200 comments and no one is talking about the breakdown of cost for folks potentially interested in the deal. Everyone is on Ford, hybrids and Tesla comparisons.

I have 2010 Ford fusion hybrid and it's done 151K miles and still running great. Great gas mileage (32mpg city+hwy). I brought it used in 2017 when it had 64K miles on it and thought of using it for 2-3 years but it is still running great. No problem whatsoever except that I needed to get my AC repaired once. I am a believer in Ford hybrids.
My Ford Maverick hybrid does 40+ MPG city+hwy. A new non-hybrid Camry or Accord will do better than 32 city+hwy. It's crazy to think that MPG has improved that much in 10-15 years.

Quote from StrongMoney163 :
to be clear, i am talking about how ethanol attracts water. water is definitely an issue in fuel systems. you don't want half a tank sloshing around for two months, and this is goimg to occur for a much greater proportion of owners if you double the electric range.
Then use the $1 bottles of Heet.
