Man, I don't know how you guys do it. I've had my FEH about 4500 miles and on flat ground, accellerating as slow as humanly possible, I kick out of EV at about 10
mph. If I'm on a slight downslope, I can get it to MAYBE 20
mph.
But if I'm trying to keep even in the ballpark of traffic flow and not endure the honks of pissed off people behind me, I kick out of EV at 5
mph every time.
I've tried every trick in the book, every tip on this site, and had the car checked out twice by Ford - nothing works.

If you are going down a hill, 40 MPH is the point which the engine will start. I brake to avoid that.
I think Ford gave us all they could to keep the 2005 FEH reliable. A change to the system could damage it. Look for newer models to make these changes first. |
