Ford plug-in hybrid fuses EV efficiency with hybrid range - CNET
Let's get straight to the point: I really like the 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium Energi. The dashboard tech is good but not great, but the available driver aid tech -- including automatic parallel parking -- is quite good for the price. Fuel economics A large part of what's likeable about the Fusion Energi can be found beneath its hood. The gasoline engine is good for 141 horsepower and 129 pound-feet of torque, and the electric motor supplies 118 horsepower and 117 pound-feet of torque. The EPA estimates that the hybrid is good for 40 mpg in the city, 36 highway mpg, and 38 combined mpg. Plug into a 240-volt charging station for 2. 5 hours (or a 120-volt wall outlet for 7 hours) to add up to about 20 miles of electric range to the beginning of any given trip. The Ford's 20 mile EV range is only about half that of the Chevrolet Volt, but double the 11 mile EV range of the Plug-in Prius. According to the EPA, the fully electric miles are stated at 95 city mpg e , 81 highway mpg e , or 88 combined mpg e. Your actual mileage will probably end up somewhere in that ludicrous.
