Different types of Ford Electric Cars
The Ford electric range is here, and it’s just as versatile as you would expect from the world’s leading motor company. From Mild Hybrid vehicles that require no charging at all to All-Electric cars that you can charge at home, on the go and at your workplace, making the leap to electric feels is easier than ever before.
Ford electric and hybrid technology can be split into four categories: Mild Hybrid (mHEV), Hybrid (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) and All-Electric (EV). Find out more about Ford’s variety of electric and hybrid cars below.
Ford Electric Mild Hybrid
A Mild Hybrid Ford uses a small electric motor to help power your conventional engine. The car will never solely run on electric power, but it will support the performance of the engine and make you less reliant on fossil fuels. The electric motor can recover energy from braking, which it then uses to power the car's electrical systems.
Ford Electric Hybrid
A Hybrid Ford has two power sources, a conventional petrol engine and an electric battery. Your Hybrid Ford can switch from petrol power to pure electric power for shorter distances. You can also use both power sources at the same time for better efficiency. Your Hybrid Ford will never require plug-in charging as it will charge itself as you drive.
Ford Electric Plug-in Hybrid
Plug-in Hybrids have a similar set-up to a Hybrid, but with a larger high voltage battery. This means you can drive on pure electric miles for longer distances. Once you’ve used your electric miles, your Plug-in Hybrid will run like a normal Hybrid and charge itself back up. You will also have the option of using a plug-in charger to power back up sooner.
Ford Electric
The more environmentally friendly of the bunch, an All-Electric Ford runs solely on electric power. Your All-Electric Ford will be 100% emission-free and offers an electric driving range of up to 370 miles (depending on the model). You can charge your All-Electric Ford using a 230V power socket at home, a wallbox charger or a public charging station.
