Very helpful review. Our own PHEV Escape will arrive in 2 weeks. I can't wait to 'gain the system' for great mileage.

Hello, I am French and I have had a Ford Puma for a few months, but it is a little too small for my size and to transport my family. So I ordered a phev escape (in France it's not called escape but kuga) I think it's going to be a good experience for fuel savings and comfort. thank you for this video.

very nice review

Of course you can stop charging anytime. The manual also says it… „until charging STOPS or is complete“. Just press the button while the car is unlocked.

Thanks for your comment. That is how we interpreted it. It stops when charging has completed. We did not want to encourage people to unplug when not completely charging to avoid liability by giving the wrong advice. But since the filming of this clip. We have disrupted the charge and disconnected mid charge with no damage or fault codes.

Good to know as if bush fire and need to evacuate, need to know I can stop charge and not damage battery

Found this video incredibly helpful as I’m considering whether it’s worth shelling out the extra cash for the PHEV version of the Escape. Do you know if this can be used with an adapter on Tesla chargers?

[@cliford302]

Very good. Maybe the fuel milage will improve over time as the car is new. Make a video in six months and see what the outcome is.

Hi there. Have got my Escape down to 1.7litre per 100km. I just try driving as smoothly as possible (no excessive acceleration) and try to get 100% return when braking. Also to, after fully charging ( 7 hours) it shows I can go 76km on electric.

[@jesusisoursavior2682]

is this like kuga?

[@FreedomReform]

Why can't I find any information on the efficiency of the EV Charge Mode? How many kWh does a gallon of gas generate, in EV Charge Mode?

[@afrodragon4187]

You gotta know what a high flow? Is this a Australian standard?

[@nissetuta]

2 hours? I thought it was minimum 3,5 hours for a full charge.
