I was recently called (twice). First time they left a message, and didn't give any specifics. When I spoke with them, they offered to sell me a hybrid when I sold my fee back early-- no thanks. Has anyone else had this experience? I can't tell if the cars are in super demand, or if they're going...

Seems like a good deal. That's what I paid for it at the end of 2012. I hear they are going for more now.

I'm about a month into my FEE lease. Great so far. I'm also getting solar from Solar City. We're in LA, so LADWP offers up to $2000 rebate for your car charger. The thing is, they require a time of use metering option (or second separate meter for the car) to qualify. Maybe it's my mistrust of...

Dreaming-in-Focus: by 'real time rates' do you mean Time of Use? In Los Angeles, the LADWP (power company here) is pushing the Time of Use option. The idea of possibly paying 21 cents a kWh during peak times scares me, but maybe it's worth it because nighttime rates are lower. (though not much...

I thought a full charge was 23kWh? I'll try your suggestion.

THanks! I'll check it out. Do you know if it's better to have a 'time of use' meter or a regular meter. So much to learn...

correction. I just figured out the 'value charging' option. You're right hplbiking, it's only available on the website. I still think they should have you set up a value charging option first, before you choose a 'GO Time'. Of course, since I'm running on 110v, it's running all night to charge...

yup, I thought the same thing. The 'GO Times' idea is not formulated for practical use. Actually, they seem like an antiquated gas car idea. (Have your car warm for you when you get in it!). I don't care about that, I just want to charge at a time I'm not going to be reamed from my electric...

also, have you noticed your battery life goes down by about 10 miles simply by turning on the fan (no heater or AC). There has to be an option of just running the fan and not draining that much battery as the heater on 80 degrees or a full blast AC in the middle of the summer.

great topic. Hopefully Ford will read this. The steering wheel needs a SIMPLE, one button setting to toggle between maps (navigation), phone, climate and entertainment screens. Toyota does a great job with this in the prius. I find the Ford buttons far too complicated and the screens are just...
