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.

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.

Any financing deals from Ford Credit on these as well? I'll have to research more but I believe these are only FWD?

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 ?

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.

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.

Thanks! Well I get that, that if I never charged it, sort of defeats the purpose, might as well buy a normal car. It just seemed like in this one instance with all the credits, that dealer is showing a price of just 27K then I guess 29K out the door as OP said after taxes and such.

I checked and the lowest MSRP on a normal gas only Escape is $29,495
Now maybe there are incentives that bring that down but it just seems like the hybrid is far cheaper than the regular one with the tax credit.

So if someone wanted an escape, why buy the regular if the hybrid is the same even if you never charge it ? Or maybe I am missing something.

Sorry I always have to explain to people the diff between normal hybrids and plug-ins.
Then ya ofc who wouldn't get the plug-in, you'd be able to sell it for more down the line🤑

Once you get on the freeway doing 70-80+ mph here in DFW, your 37 so called miles is more like 25 or less. The Fusion Energi has the same drive train. So, if you have more then a 12 mile commute on freeway and can't charge at work, then you will be using gas. Same on a Tesla, the faster you go the less range you have. But more fun getting to that speed....lol

37 miles EV range on paper brand new means 30 miles EV range in real life. In a few years, it will be 30 miles EV range on paper.

Why wouldn't you want to charge it? Cost per mile driven is cheaper when using electric versus gas. You don't need a special charger, just use the cord that comes with the vehicle.
