Let’s begun with the results. I simply drove this car everywhere. With the newer 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine in the new 2019 Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid model. In addition, it has an electric-only range of 25 miles. Yet when including regenerative braking you get closer to 30 miles. As well, the test was to drive and charge. So for almost a month every time I got home: I charged up. Total 73 MPG.

It’s also got a nice interior. Had a slight feel of Lincoln.

Yet this Fusion styling includes a sleeker front and rear design. It also came with new wheels. Ford engineers also designed a new 9.0-kilowatt-hour air-cooled lithium-ion battery. This cooled tech provides greater energy capacity. However the best part is with no change to the size of the battery pack.

Based on data generated by more than 23,000 MyFord Mobile plug-in hybrid customers over several years. Ford also estimates the 2019 Fusion Energi will potentially allow up to 80 percent of plug-in customers. All to drive their typical daily commute on electricity alone. Especially with the support of both home and workplace charging. Thereby assuming the vehicle is fully charged daily at home and at work.

Ford 2019 Fusion Energi sedan is the first Ford vehicle globally with standard new state-of-the-art.

It also comes with Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technology, plus sleeker styling for all models. Furthermore and more interesting an slightly increased all-electric driving range for the plug-in hybrid Fusion Energi.

Charging Examples

Even without workplace charging, Ford estimates almost a majority go all electric. Ford reported about 48 percent of plug-in hybrid cars would get to and from their jobs on electric power alone. This estimate is based on MyFordMobile data collected from more than 19 million unique trips from 23,000 Ford battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
