Leoman Posted August 26, 2014 at 10:30 PM Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 at 10:30 PM Hello folks! I just leased a 2014 Fusion Energi Titanium this past weekend and think I have become obsessed with the vehicle! It's truly an amazing piece of technology...Ford is nailing it. We were first looking at the straight Fusion Hybrid, but, as I started to look at the Energi, I realized that it might be both economically and ecologically profitable to step it up. I have a 15 mile one-way freeway commute in the Seattle area so hoping to use 90% electric. Today is day 2 so we'll see! I was also convinced to look at the Energi because of some pretty attractive leasing incentives and the tax credit for EV. And the Dark Side color wasn't so bad either! Looking forward to learning from the very enthusiastic group on this forum! wazer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leoman Posted August 26, 2014 at 10:59 PM Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 at 10:59 PM I do have that ability to charge at work and did yesterday so I've used about 3 ounces of gas so far! Pretty cool! jeff_h 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveEnergi Posted August 27, 2014 at 11:12 AM Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 at 11:12 AM You won't be able to take the tax credit because it's a lease; the dealer gets the credit but some leases here have received the "tax credit" up front by the dealer discounting the car by $4007.

blars Posted August 28, 2014 at 02:08 PM Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 at 02:08 PM It's pretty obvious when the dealer passes the tax credit on to you. I leased mine, and among other incentives there was a $4007 "dealer incentive" that reduced the capitalized cost of my car. For those considering leasing this car, I don't know if this is a state-by-state or dealer-by-dealer practice, but if you don't see it on there, I'd definitely shop around.
