  1. Got my Fusion Energi Titanium today! Enjoying it for the most part, but trying to figure out a few things in the technology end of things. I am pretty tech savvy, but one thing I can't figure out for the life of me is how to install apps. Do I need a special app on my Android phone or can I just download an app that is on my phone already, like Pandora. Thanks for your help!
  2. Found an electrician that is not going to charge me an arm and a leg to put the charger on its own circuit and trench out to my driveway...so I am going to go ahead with the 240V. This will be kept outdoors, so I am looking at the Clipper Creek LCS-25 for $595 and the Leviton EVB32-8ML for $899. Besides the $300 price difference are there any other differences between the two that would support spending the extra monies?
  3. Got a call yesterday and my car is in!! Now I really have to make a deicsion and I'm going to go with the 110v as charging overnight is more than ok for me. However the same trenching will need to be done to install this outlet as it would for the 240v which would still cost me well over a $1K. The electrician could install the outlet on the same landscaping lighting that is already out by the driveway tough. This lighting, since it is flourescent only takes a maximum 2-3 amps. It is on a 40amp timer by the electric panel which we schedule it to go on when from dusk to dawn. My question is would it hurt the car if we had the outlet on this same breaker. It definitely appears to have more than enough "ampage". Thanks!
  4. Hi there! Hoping you can give me the latest and greatest on my Fusion Energi Titanium: Vin#: 3FA6P0SU2DR308398 Thanks!!!!
  5. Just got some estimates to put a level 2 charging station in. Since my driveway is long (no garage) and the car is parked 60 ft from the house, there would need to be a lot of trenching work plus a sub-panel put in. The cost for the electric work would be about $2K, which if it included the unit I would do. I do have another option that would cost only $250-300. Have pier lights where I park the car and the electrician can split the line and add a 120v outlet onto the pier bricks. This seems like a better alternative for me as I will only be charging the car overnight anyway. However, can I charge the car on the same circuit as these lights (they only take 2amps total as they have fluorescent bulbs) or does the car need its own separate circuit? And how many amps does the Fusion Energi use when its charging? Hope this all makes sense! Thanks -
  6. Thanks - this was VERY helpful. I think I am going to do the 110v thing as once I get home, I am usually there to stay. Thanks again!
  7. Hi there! Hoping you can give an update on my Fusion Energi Titanium: Vin#: 3FA6P0SU2DR308398 Thanks!!!!
  8. Just did mine. Hope I get the offer!
  9. What is Vincent? Am going to try and find this now as my car is not in yet. Could always change to White and use the coupon to pay for the color upgrade!
  10. Looking into home charging options for the Fusion Energi. I dirve way too far to just drive on electric so that's why I am getting this model, and most importantly being able to go in the HOV lane by myself! It seems that Honda and Toyota have deals with Leviton for the quick charging station that includes the station itself and installation. The installers do not support Ford though and we have to go to Geek Squad, where they don't know what's going on as well. Had an electrician over the house and he says it would be waste of money to do this, somewhere around $2K plus to bring the station out ot my driveway. he suggested a regular outlet for a few hundred bucks. Anyone else famialir with the charging sations and is it worthi it to spend the extra $$$, alot of extrea $$$ to get the officla Ford Charging station?
  11. It's also an insurance discount in our state. Hope they fix this!
  12. Sorry to hear that! Within three hours of picking up my Lexus GS late last year, a rock hit my windshield and shattered the whole thing. Got it replaced, but it was a big psychological thing to get over since I felt like my car was not new within hours of driving it! It got beter though and I did get over it!
  13. Just ordreed mine. Since I didn't want the one they had on the lot, which was Black, I got one that was dealer ordered already and paid $400 more total.
