Hello, I have a Leviton charging station and a Ford Fusion PlugIn (2017). On very cold days (under -10 Celsius) the charging station makes very strange noise (see attached video). I don't know if there are sparks from electrical contactors (relays), or if it s normal procedure to "clean" the contacts of the relay. Should I continue using it during those periods or it is better not? Thanks, Catalin Video https://photos.app.goo.gl/9MYNZMdP2PC5hCxe6

Had this in less than 2 months after I bought the car in 2017. Towed to the dealer. Now started to have it again... Cross finger each time it arrives that I will be able to start it again. So yes, even if they thought that they fixed it then (in 2017), it started again...

Hmmm. I am from Montreal. I have no chance to find an Energi on stock in Quebec... And I understood that it is verrrry hard to get one, even on order. So no way to take a look to the sticker. I do my best now to see how can I order an 2014 Energi. On the web site (canadian) is no info on 2014 Energi (not available). The dealer has it in it's system. I wanted to order it, but on 3013 model on the web I can choose the Deep blue color, but not in the dealer order. It is messed up. I contacted Ford.ca and for instance they only told me that I have to contact the dealer (who sent me to Ford.ca...) So ping-pong. The Employee pricing discount will end on sep 30. I will see if I can order it before this date...

I like it, but on ford.ca I can configure the Energi and the heater comes as 100$ option... So I suppose that is not included in standard :(.

Yes, but in the winter I don't think that I can use it EV only, but will start the engine from the beginning, to warm the car (interior) and so on. I don't expect to get 25 miles on -15F evening with lights / climate on... But at least to be just a little bit better than a hybrid in the winter

Hello, I intend to buy an Titanium Energi Plug In. I live on Montreal. You know that winter is cold here... I commute to work for 18 km (one way), so I intend to use the car most on electric charge. I want to install an engine heater but asking if it will be really useful for my commutes. I understand that during winters it will always start the gas engine from the start, so I think that the heater will be useful, at least when I will go to work in the morning, because on work I will have to keep it outside... After 9 hours at -15 F it will be a hard start... I hope that the efficiency of the batteries will not be affected permanently by the cold weather, so, even during the winter the efficiency (autonomy on EV) will decrease, hope to get it back on the summer, almost 100%
