The magnet demonstration was the coolest thing I've seen in a while.

Thank you sir, for this humorous enlightenment that the modern import vehicles have not seen the need to improve on the Ford Motor Company's Designs from way back in 2005 (having been with the Ford company since the 80's as a tech.)

You are absolutely absolutely wonderful and genius sir. I absolutely admire you work. I wish I would have someone with me to teach me all this stuff. I absolutely love working on these electric cars and really need someone's help to learn about them. And you are doing this without asking anything in return. You are given knowledge for sake of nothing that's is just amazing. Just brilliant. Can't thank enough for these videos.

Professor John Kelly I have driven Ford Fusion Hybrid cars for eight years now and really like them and their reliability. It is so interesting to see the inner workings of these cars. Thank you so much for the great explanations and demonstrations and detail and I understand everything you say. I just follow your lectures religiously. Thanks again.

This video actually helped me diagnose my vehicle. I drive a 2015 Ford C-Max energi, and him showing the auxilary transmission pump helped me identify the connector I needed to clean up. If you also get a P0C2- code, check that connector! It might be loose or dirty

[deonbennett]

Thanks for the videos. They helped give me the confidence to rebuild my Cmax transmission a year ago. Funny note. When i had the stator out of the transmission a tow chain somehow got stuck on the magnets. It took all my might to get the chain off. Very strong magnets. Im sure it was comical to watch. 😂

I can't have enough knowledge from your videos and explanations. Thank-you

[Perforator]

I have a '17 Fusion Energi and had been wondering what it looks like inside and how it operates. Thanks for demystifying this system.

Списибо Вам за ваши труды! Лучший канал с обзорами трансмиссий!

[RoseUnseen]

I dont deal with hybird specifically but as a tech this is full of knowledge that can be applied everywhere thank you for the vids !

[DevOG]

I'm only 17, but I really enjoy working on cars and getting my hands dirty. But I have never had any proper training on working on cars, I have just been learning as I go. And your channel has really helped me a lot in learning all about cars and how they work, and WHY they do what they do! I love your work and please keep it up, it helps me so much. Especially that older video you did on the manual transmission and how it works. Thanks a ton!

[larrymendoza]

Incredible! Thanks so much for this terrifically insightful video. I’m the new owner of a 2020 Fusion Ti Energi, and I’m amazed to see how accessible you make this info. Keep it up!

[rafaelcastro]

Sir my respect and appreciation for this outstanding lecture 👏 👏 👏. I knew zero=0 about how this cars mix the electrical with the mechanical part. You practically opened my eyes on this! Thank you very much!

[Elnamech]

Thank you for this outstanding video. We are now on our second lease of a Ford C-Max Energi after 3 happy years with a 2015 SEL. Glad to have these videos. Never really understood the true theory of operation until watching this. Subscribed.

[colindavis]

Outstanding educational fun. All the internet should be like this. (Keep the cats & kittens, obviously).

[petecooper]

Hi Professor John, on a personal point, I trust you and yours are well . Thank you for your gentle but engaging presentation, could watch you all day. I first found you on the Honda CVT which was absolutely brilliant. Thanks again. Seasons' tidings to you and yours. Pete on the Isle of Wight.

[mouseblg]

Thank you for your great work! You’ve made most informative videos about hybrid transaxles here on YouTube. I haven’t yet seen anything close to this :)

[peterbustin]

That's amazing that magnet strength that turns those rotors! Thanks for another great video.

[the_rafa]

Love this video and the way you explain every aspect, thanks for sharing your knowledge

We purchased a Fusion Energi to go along with our Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV after the family learned the benefits of owing an EV - a full electric is a step too far given our poor public charging station network, but we only need to visit a gas station once per month now on average, sometimes longer. Both vehicles drive brilliantly, and ownership costs has dropped by $400 per month at the cost of $40 higher electric bills. Not a bad trade-off at all.

Thanks again for the in-depth explanation of the less known Ford Hybrid powertrains.
