Picked up a Titanium Fusion Energi on Sunday. Was a giant hassle to negoiate a deal with my trade in car (Spark EV), pay off bank loan ($27k) and get an affordable lease.

 Shoping for a car and asking for and getting a hand written quote is virtually impossible!

Welcome! What made you go from a BEV to a PHEV with a relatively limited EV range?

Hybridbear,

 

It was a combination of things. My new girlfriend hated the Spark EV, Range anxiety, too much time spent charging, Problems while charging in public, hassles at work. I only live 7 miles from work and can charge at work L1. Even if I totally use up the battery, 7 hours is the maximum time needed to fully charge on 120 volt.

GM really handicapped the Spark EV by giving it such a low power onboard charger. It should have come with a 6.6 kW (or greater) onboard charger like the other BEVs.
