The power system options of the Fusion series are far beyond the attractive basic price.
In fact, in the case of the Ford Fusion Energi plug, it can almost double

The ion battery pack is charged from the wall during regenerative braking.
Most of this power system setup is shared with the traditional Fusion hybrid system, which starts at $26,060 and is nearly $6000 lower than the cheapest version of Energi.
But the point that Energi boasts is that it has a larger battery pack (the normal hybrid is the same as the 1 battery ).

Electricity alone is estimated to be 21 miles.
Mainly due to all of this hardware, Fusion Energi packs a lot of extra pounds compared to a more traditional version of Fusion, which is not entirely lightweight.
Our test example brings the height of the balance to 4031 pounds.

Energi's brake feel is one of the worst we 've sampled;
Many hybrid cars are struggling to smoothly combine regenerative braking with hydraulic braking, but the pedals of this Ford car are particularly unpredictable, mushy and difficult to adjust in town.
Artificial, over-enhanced steering combined with soft damping makes Energi feel less flexible than gasoline

Like all the plugs.
In a hybrid car, your mileage will vary depending on how often you charge your battery.
After we charge the car 11 times during the 1000-period, the average 35 MPGe in the time we use Fusion Energimile test.
This result is lower than the two combined numbers of EPA (97 MPGe when charged-
Drain Mode and 42 mpg when charging-
Although the figures we observed are not directly comparable to any of EPA's figures, as it takes into account all energy sources when calculating average efficiency.
If we ignore the electricity we inject, the number we observe will rise, but our local utilities let us pay for the juice, so the energy has to be paid as well.
We also suspect that less intelligent drivers will do better than we do;
For example, in previous tests on 2013 Fusion Energi, our average power was 41 MPGe.
Although Fusion Energi has not undergone much mechanical changes since then, the 2017 update has brought some adjustments to the outside and inside.
Our test car looks beautiful under the Titanium trim and the interior is beautifully decorated

2017 what has not changed is the relay capacity severely restricted by Fusion Energi.
The addition of a larger battery pack limits its volume to 8 cubic feet, equivalent to half the capacity of conventional powered Fusion.

Potential, because it provides a much larger electric range and better handling than fusion at about the same cost.
Traditional hybrid cars without plugs, such as standard Fusion hybrid (or any number of competitors such as Chevrolet, Honda, Toyota, etc. ), compared to traditional gasoline stability, while maintaining excellent mileage, sacrifice less.
This is the Energi plugin.
Well, hybrid cars may be a bit too much for their own benefit.
