With regards to the C-Max Energi, you do realize that the plug in feature is really a bonus, right? It also has a gas engine with about a 600 mile range between fill ups. You could drive on gas only and never use the the electric feature when you are on trips if you had no place to plug in. You would still get the benefit of the regenerative braking. We are getting better than 40 mpg when we are strictly on the gas engine. Best of both worlds! :)
