In my commute home today I was behind a Ford vehicle sporting a red HOV decal. It had a tailpipe, which seemed out of place with the newer red decals. Are there hybrid vehicles which were able to convert to red decals? The plate was a 7YLExxxx, so maybe an early 2017 model.

Looks like a Fusion

was just googling images of Ford Fusion Hybrids and seems to match the 2018 model year that I found.

edit: titanium model of the Fusion has the spoiler on the back

Vehicles which first received white or green stickers in 2017 or 2018 can convert to red stickers.


The Ford Fusion Energi is a plug-in hybrid.

As I always do when the Fusion hybrid is mentioned, I'll state that it's a fantastic car. It's my go-to when renting due to the smooth and quiet ride that returns 45 MPG. Decent looking too; with design elements from Aston Martin. Shame they will be discontinuing the Fusion too.

I was considering one of these a while back.. yes IIRC its a plug in so it qualifies for stickies. Remember... stickies go by date of first issuance, not by car model year. I you procrastinate applying for stickers, you could get newer stickers on an older car.

The Ford Fusion Energi is a plug in hybrid and even qualifies for the new purple 2019 HOV sticker. Below are qualifying vehicles.
