Took possession yesterday of a used 2015 FFE from one of our own forum users. Drive car home and plug
into Clipper Creek Level 2 charger. Woke up this morning and getting in car and notice it only charged up
to 82%. Get back home and plug in and Charge Fault. Try level 1 charger ...charge...
I was googling a bit and there are definitely several websites saying it can only be claimed by the purchaser. Sounding more
and more like the sales team at Sandy Springs Ford in Atlanta was wrong. I am not sure why the lease payment is $54
more than 2 years ago. Thoughts?

Thanks NightHawk. The reason i posted is this seems too good to be true and there is 30% of me that thinks the sales
guy is just not informed. They have not sold that many evs in Georgia since the state tax credit ended. But we went
around and around about it. Ill let you know if this turns...
I leased a FFE in 2014. My lease is coming up so went back up to Ford today and ran some numbers on a 2016 lease with the sales guy.
In 2014 Ford took the Federal Tax Credit and deducted it off the price of the car when negotiating lease terms. This time the
lease payment kept coming in...
Gigi. Finn was also my sales guy! =)
EVA: I also agree your attitude towards driving changes for the most part. Even when i have plenty of extra range i tend
not to be as obnoxious as i used to be.

Very helpful. Thanks EVA. I have not zeroed in on the crazy bell noise yet. Gotta pay attention. I guess just like most cars
if you leave the lights on when you leave for 4 days you are going to have a dead battery when get back.
Less than 3 weeks after getting my FFE i got the "Your 12 volt battery is low. Please plug the vehicle in." text message while on day 2 of a 4 day trip. I am a pilot. The car was at the airport crew lot. I got back to the car on day 4 and as i thought the car was dead. Used the mechanical...
No idea if this is good or not but here is what i got for FFE with leather in Atlanta Georgia
-2 year lease
-12,000 miles
-0 down
$410 a month
Finance guy was super curious as to why i went with 2 year lease vs 3 year leas as Ford charges
3.25 % interest vs .25% interest on 2 year vs 3 year...
The owner's manual says charging should be done from a dedicated outlet.
1.Any idea on how to define a dedicated outlet?
2.What are the risk to the car of charging from a non dedicated outlet? Or is the risk only
to the other items connected to that power source.
IE: I recently plugged...
Potential FFE buyer here.
As some of you may have heard a Georgia Congressman (or Senator) has proposed to end the $5000 state tax credit
for electric cars as early as April 1st. :( I assume that if you purchase the car before the official end you are grandfathered
in and will still receive...
