Quote from dkd711 :
Correct me if I'm wrong, but these plug in Hybrids only have a tiny EV battery that can charge overnight via a regular 120V home outlet?
That's right. The battery is small enough to charge in a short time.

The Chevy Volt, also chargeable on 120v (could be leveled up), was the only PHEV that was really an electric car with a high voltage battery that would let you go 90 mph until the battery is exhausted. Most of the PHEV's nowadays have less expensive, lower output batteries that use the engine to kick in, like a Hybrid, when exceeding the battery's output ability. But driving around town, the PHEV will push the car along solely on battery for a short while.

I just don't know why anyone buys a Ford. They usually start falling apart at 100k. We just bought a new CRV LX AWD model for $32k OTD. Should go 200-250k easy. Last one went almost 300 without any problems.
Our last Ford died when it was 19 years old and that's because someone t-boned us. It was an expedition, but nice try

Has anybody successfully received a quote detailing price, discounts, fees and taxes? I checked the box for them to correspond via e-mail and, of course, they call me asking me to call them back. I hate dealing with salespeople.

another dump question, do i have to use up the battery first before the gas kick-in? or I can just use gas and save the battery in case I am running out of gas for a long road trip?

I love how there was this rush to dump plug-in hybrids as an unacceptable compromise over full EV's only for the industry only to backtrack some years later, slap a PHEV label on them and call it a day. As if no one could predict that a vehicle that uses little to zero gas for commuting but can road trip as easily as an ICE car would actually be a great idea.

We got the 3 yrs free charge with our VW ID.4 but one time I charged at Disneyland because I didn't want to charge on the way home. It was ~$20 for 50% charge. I did the math and it equated to an ICE car getting ~70mpg.
You need to re-check your math. Using public chargers always costs more than the equivalent gas in an ICE vehicle, usually around twice as much. Even for efficient EVs like Teslas

I've never heard of that use case, so I doubt it. It makes more sense to consume all your cheapest fuel first rather than save it as an emergency spare. I'm sure the car tells you your remaining gas range, so there's not much excuse to run out.

Its a PHEV hybrid. The first 37 miles are electric and the rest gas. If you do local commutes, then this is a viable option.
A friend of mine with a PHEV told me last May that he's fueling up his car for the first time this year. He mostly does local drives like dropping off kids, driving to train station and such.

Quote from ayg1 :
Unless Walmart chargers are free, buying electricity per kWh from a charger in a parking lot for an electric SUV or truck is probably more expensive than getting gas to get you the same distance.If you want to reap the benefits of plug-in vehicles, you must be able to use electricity at residential rates or find free chargers. I've seen people charging F150 Lightnings, Hummer EV SUV/SUTs, and other large EVs at retail chargers, and I cringe at what those recharges probably cost.
Yeah... first charge on the Hummer EV SUV at Walmart (Electrify America) was brutal the day we bought it 250 miles away (first EV and no clue) -- $110. Home charger installed and MUCH cheaper now.

Do you get the $3750 clean vehicles credit deducted directly on the point of sale? Or we have to apply from government when file 2024 tax return?
Either. You can claim up front so long as the dealer is willing and knows how or when you file. If you don't have enough tax liability to get the full 3750 then you want to take it up front as they can't take it back.

Still $33,355 in my area.

If you can get it at $30k it's a very nice around the town electric / hybrid road tripper car for anyone with a small family, but with 3 teenagers who bring a lot of crap with them whenever we go on trips my only real option is a Toyota Sienna.

Thank you so much! One more follow up question: Do you know when this clean vehicle credit offer will expire? It see the $8,250 customer cash ends on 01/02/2025, we are thinking to make the purchase on 01/01 so the cost can be used to offset our business expense next year.

Quote from savenmaven :
Ford's EVs are my favorite right now. The worst thing about a PHEV is when the engine turns on after 40 miles of whisper quiet driving and smooth acceleration. That's what ultimately caused me to go full electric. If you're not ready to go full EV, this is a great intro. And All you need to charge is an extension cord if you're not in a hurry.
I strongly considered going for a BMW 330E. Even though I don't own a home, I have access to 110v socket at my condo. In some sense I consider PHEV as the worst of both worlds, as it incurrs the cost of ICE maintenance and the downsides of EV long-term cost. And it's too difficult to work on after the factory warranty expires. I would either pick an hybrid systems like in 24 Accord (I think it's a genius system) or Toyota or a full EV. You're not going to save costs much in PHEV unless your gas is extremely expensive and if you plan to hold on for say eight years. Note that EV range would drop as battery deteriorate.

And you maybe lugging the whole weight of ICE or EV if your trip exceeds 70% of EV range as cold weather and wind drag affects the EPA range.
