The car industry continues to shift toward a fuel-free future, embracing modern technology to eventually leave traditional, gas-fueled models in the rearview. As more top brands usher in this electric era, Ford leads the way – just as it has for decades. The innovative automaker remains committed to powerful performance and bold design, now adding electric and hybrid models to its already impressive lineup. more Ready to spend less time at the pump and more time pursuing all that lies on the road ahead? Choosing the right model for you starts with getting informed, and we can help! First off, both electric and hybrid vehicles feature electric motors. Hybrids models, however, also utilize a gas engine to extend driving range over all-electric models. Read on to learn more about Ford’s hybrid and electric offerings, and to determine which vehicle is the perfect match! Going Electric While some drivers are hesitant to make the leap to all-electric, Ford is all-in. In fact, the brand has invested $22 billion in electrifying its lineup through 2025. Ford has already released electric versions of some of its most iconic models, like the Mustang, F-150, and Transit. The all-electric Mustang Mach-E is available now, presenting a speedy SUV option that races from zero to 60 with the pulse-pounding speed its namesake is known for. Drivers will also enjoy access to the latest technology and over-the-air Ford Power-Up software updates. Choose from four diverse models – Select, Premium, California Route 1, and GT – with upscale features added as you move up tier by tier.

There’s no denying that Ford’s electric lineup is sure to stun. In addition to these must-drive models, Ford has added a variety of home charging solutions.

Ford even offers cloud-connected navigation to direct drivers to nearby charging stations or plug-in spots along their route – with easy payment via FordPass! The Hybrid Way of Life Hybrid vehicles pair an ultra-efficient electric motor with a gasoline engine to offer a taste of electric performance without the worry of plugging in to power up. Hybrids can be a good transition between traditional, gas vehicles and all-electric models as they max out fuel economy and minimize environmental impact. Here’s how hybrids work: The electric motor allows the engine to shut off at low speeds and when coasting, with regenerative braking that recharges the battery pack. Plug-in hybrids (PHEV) are yet another eco-friendly option, relying on electric power alone for short drives, with the range of gas engines for longer hauls. PHEVs are equipped with larger batteries than other hybrid models, achieving an all-electric range of about 20 to 40 miles.
