So I’ve been driving a Fusion Engeri (PHEV) for over two years and I don’t think I could ever go back to a straight gas engine again. The Energi has a small 7kwh battery and even that has been great. I have the luxury of plugging in at work (when I have to go to the office with Covid). Even with the small battery I am usually getting 2000-2500 km out of a 40l tank.

I drove my dad up to Drayton Valley a couple weeks ago and even just on hybrid mode it’s still getting sub 6L/100km.

My only problem is I want a truck again and I was tempted to get either a Cybertruck or a F150 Lightning but there is a rumour of a PHEV 2022 Ranger or possibly a PHEV Maverick… I love the practicality of the PHEV having the best of both worlds.
