James Drews Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I thought i read somewhere (and of course can't find it now), that the fusion would "learn" your route after a few weeks. After learning, it is supposed to attempt to run off battery for the last bit. IE, drive to work/home for 4 weeks, and the end of the trip would be mostly battery power. Is this true? If so, is it on both the hybrid and the energi? thanks (patiently awaiting my hybrid order) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Just the energi I think. Go to www.motorcraftservice.com and you can read the owners manual now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Drews Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Ah, that's where I read it. I guess part of my confusion comes from looking up the Fusion Hybrid manual gives you the Energi manual. I didn't see if that feature was energi specific. Here's hoping the non-energi also can do this feature to some extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Drews Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Found it: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/2015-Fusion-Hybrid-Energi-Owners-Manual-version-1_om_EN-US_05_2014.pdf Page 152, the "EV+" mode. It is very unclear if that is a Energi only item (ie, there is no indication anywhere on that page that it would be). The last indicator of which it is talking about is up on page 150 and the section indicates both hybrid and energi models at that point. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 It appears to apply to both but it is ambiguous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_h Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 EV+ works with both the Hybrid and Energi, will learn locations where you often go and then shut down, and then attempt to use EV as much as possible within about 1/2-1/4 mile from there... it normally takes about 4-10 trips for the car to learn and save an EV+ location, though some have had longer learning periods for whatever reason. The 13B07 PCM update that was done to hybrids in 2013 to improve MPG wipes out EV+ locations, and I think the pending 14E02 PCM update will wipe them out again, according to a couple user posts on the Hybrid and Energi forums.

nmadole Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It took my fusion Hybrid 4000 miles to learn where my house was .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Drews Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 It didn't take mine that long. I've had it for just a week now, and last night I saw the EV+ indicator come on 1 street before mine on the way home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
