If you own an escape phev please rate your satisfaction level from 1 to 5 Stars.
Is it the EVSE that is tripping? Or the Escape itself? Either way, it's the charger onboard the escape that actually controls how much current is being pulled. The EVSE just tells the Escape what the current limit of the EVSE is, which should be below the limit of the circuit it's plugged into. So if it's pulling too much current, Either the EVSE is signaling a higher current than it should be, or the Escape's charger is pulling more current than it should be..... Charge method using a quality Charge Cord on level 2 with 230 volts trips the unit circuit regularly. Have actually purchased two separate Very well-rated Charge Cords. It trips on either Charge Cord and FORD says: Well just charge with the supplied 120 Volt Charge Cord. We are NOT impressed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with our 230 Volt 50 AMP Service.

I didn't notice any in particular when I demo'd a 2021 hybrid. Personally I found the loudest noise to be the tires. I drove it up to 100km/h. I honestly struggled to even hear the engine on it to tell if it was running when on city streets.....
And, of course, the wind noise. Oh my God, that wind noise! I hate it so much. Sometimes it starts even at 50km/h but it's almost unbearable when I am driving above 80km/h.

Im slowly finding workarounds lol. Got my level 2, 8 amp charging going at work from a 120 outlet. As far as the ice engine I've disabled hill assist but mine keeps coming on in EV only mode while using the co pilot 360. It does it when the traffic slows down and then speeds up abruptly on the highway. It could use just a little more electric Punch for merging on the expressway and passing. I can make it to work now in EV only with one or two miles to spare and the drive home I can barely make it depending on my route. Currently I have to detour around construction and the ice comes on the last 3-5 miles as it's uphill all the way home. I realize it isn't a Tesla lol but it could accelerate better than my 1981 diesel rabbit pickup with low compression lol. I have an on ramp where 35 mph traffic merges with 80mph and it's a struggle.Obviously #1 isn't a problem, you fixed it.
#2 It hasn't been to much of a problem for me, I realize it isn't a Tesla.
#3 I have floored it numerous times in EV Now and the ICE hasn't come on, it must be a setting problem.
#4 Here is a Link Ford Kuga - Towing Capacity & Weight Limit Information It looks like 1650 LBS wo/ trailer brakes and 3960 LBS with trailer brakes. It looks like FORD is saying wo/ brakes number.
#5 PHEV Home Charging thread has solutions for this problem.
