Check out it out! It's a hybrid!

Re: Check it out! It's a hybrid!
The FEH/MMH doesn't look in any way unique from a FE/MM. This is quite different from, say, a Prius. All Prius's are hybrids. Therefore, if you see something that looks like a Prius, you can say for certain, it is a hybrid.
Can one really ID a FEH/MMH from a regular FE/MM from, say, 1/2 a mile away?

Shannon... I've seen those in person at many Auto parts stores.
Problem is, the display is tiny. Doubtful one car length back could read it.
I'm talking about something with 4" high letters! ( or greater! )
To Walt, you can only ID a FEH from a distance if the driver side rear window with "the vent" is pointed at you. Also, all Hybrids come with tinted "privacy" glass, and I think only the high end, like "Limited" Escapes do. Normally ( but not 100% ) when I see dark tinted glass, it is a hybrid.

Comes with a remote.
(Not hawking it, or even giving it props, as I've never seen or used one. But it caught my eye some time ago on Amazon, and when I searched for it just now, it's still available.)

I had a toyota prius hybrid drive by be the other day and give me "thumbs up" as he drove by. I waived but wasn't sure at 1st what he meant, then thought "oh yea, im driving a hybrid baby"... Are we a club now?

You can tell a Ford hybrid by...
- The long extension cord
- The wind up key on the rear hatch
- The vent in the rear side window
- There no gas filler door on the side
- Trick question. Ford doesn't make a hybrid.
BTW, I could tell by the ugly wheels.

Fuse doesn't even have to blow. Don't these things have a collision sensor that cuts the HV battery off at the source.... Those orange cables in an accident SHOULD be dead.

Right, but "sensors" or switches have parts that "could" fail.
I consider a fuse, being solid-state to be most reliable.
When it fails, it fails in a good way.

P.S. now some EE don't go and correct me and tell me a failed fuse is one that didn't blow, you know what I meant!
