Ford Fusion Energi plugs in and has a gas engine

Gresham Ford is excited to offer the Fusion Energi because is the first plug-in hybrid midsize sedan for Ford and is available through Ford Certified EV Dealers.  Gresham Ford is a Certified Electric Vehicle Ford Dealership serving Gresham, Sandy, Troutdale, Fairview and Portland.  The Fusion has plug-in capability, which means the lithium-ion battery can be fully charged easily overnight in approximately 7 hours using the standard 120-volt convenience charging cord or  for faster charging in about 2.5 hours an available 240-volt charging station.  Many electric vehicle owners don't have any special charging station installed in their home.  If you are going to be home for at least 8 hours to sleep that is also enough time to charge your vehicle.  The Fusion Energi delivers maximum efficiency by combining a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery and electric motor with a gasoline engine.  There is no range anxiety because if you need you have the gas engine.  The Ford Fusion Energi offers the best of both worlds, providing the capability to be driven as an electric vehicle for short trips and as a hybrid for longer trips.  Bess Wills, General Manager has only filled up twice in over 1000+ miles.  Our Service Manager, Cher Marlowe also drives an Energi (but hers is a C-Max) has had very similar experience.

When you aren't ready to commit to an exclusively Electric vehicle because you like traveling to Seattle or the beach with minimal pit stops - the family of Ford Energi vehicles  - is a great solution.  Fusion Energi shares many of the same advanced powertrain system features with Fusion Hybrid, combining the best features of a gasoline engine and an electric motor to deliver excellent driving performance and efficiency.  This electric car is really the best of both both worlds.  The Ford Electric Car can be charged by connecting the vehicle’s external charge port to either a standard 120-volt outlet or an available 240-volt charging station.  There are a growing number of blink stations across Gresham and Portland that offer charging options while you shop.  For members of Blink it is $1 per hour and for non-blink members it is $2 per hour.
The plug-in capability offers drivers greater range and capability in full EV mode (all-electric only) than Fusion Hybrid, helping to further reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.  And after all isn't that what this is all about.  Many states have tax credits for these bi-fuel vehicles that have no range anxiety.
