Range worriers - objective evidence

[JoeDimwit]

You're assuming a premium. In many cases you'd be wrong. The PHEV may have a tax credit, whereas a hybrid or gas engine wouldn't.

By the way, people are referring to the OP's vehicle as a hybrid. It is not - it's a PHEV.

When we leased our Fusion Energi PHEV, it was thousands less than a Fusion Hybrid, and less than a gas powered Fusion. In other words, we saved money AND got PHEV capability. This was largely due to the tax credit of $4,007, which Ford spread over the lease.

Quick question… what does the “H” in PHEV stand for?

Funny. 'Hybrid' as you know. But a PHEV and a Hybrid are different, i.e. the electric only miles provided by the vastly larger battery.

We had a C-Max hybrid for 7 years and loved it! Decided against the plug in version because the larger battery took up so much space in the cargo area.
