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.

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?
There is a switch to manually choose fuel source if you want. But your theoretical scenario makes no sense.

Which Gas car gives 60 mpg on Highway.
New Generation Prius. Toyota's latest GEN hybrid tech is pretty amazing.

Don't get a escape. The engines are having tons of problems. There is a reason they dropped the price.
the hybrids have an entirely different drivetrain.

Why would you buy a Tesla when there are other better EVs around?

Heck even BYD from China makes better EVs at this point.

Buying EVs is an absolute no brainer but if you own a Tesla then take off your blinders and go to a few dealerships to drive other vehicles too. Compare the features, drivability, mileage (which translates to efficiency of the battery tech), comfort and quality.

Please stay away from those VINFAST turds.

Any financing deals from Ford Credit on these as well? I'll have to research more but I believe these are only FWD?
Unfortunately, no AWD, a non starter for me.

Seems like the dealer near me has tons of them(2024). Almost all are "stripped", but there are a few loaded, about 6-7 k more, still cheap. I have to believe these didn't sell well, the fwd only was really a big problem, too bad, and the Msrp was too high. 2025 is the last year for the escape. I had a cmax energi, same setup with the battery in back and it was horrible in snow. If that's not a problem this is a great deal. Ford must have lost a fortune on these.

People need to understand how the federal rebate works as well.
Can elaborate a bit more on this? Do you mean there is a risk to get the clean vehicles rebates from the Federal Government?

You only get it if you make under a certain amount I think $150k single and double that if married. You also only get it if you owe money to the IRS at the end of the tax year if I'm not mistaken.

Wish these had a bigger battery, like for 50-60 miles. I have a 2019 Fusion Energi that Ford is going to buy back because they had a defective battery recall and don't want to make new parts. The buyback seems to be fair.
I wish it were $10K less, while we're wishing 🕺🏽

Yep I came here to say the same thing. Have to have a tax liability.

Is it going to be better than a 2024 CX 5, carbon edition?

If yes, is it worth trading in the CX 5 for this one?
