In this day and age, more drivers than ever are opting for hybrid and electric vehicles when shopping for their next car. Hybrid engines can switch between using gas and an electric power source. When the battery power depletes, the gas-powered engine takes over to allow the battery to charge back up, while in comparison, a fully electric motor relies solely on battery power.
There are several reasons drivers may choose an electric or hybrid vehicle. Many drivers benefit from lower costs and time spent at the gas station, lower maintenance costs, lower emissions, and the ability to charge your car at home.
Electric vehicle owners can sometimes get a federal or tax incentive, and hybrid owners can enjoy the best of both worlds. Ford offers a variety of electric and hybrid vehicles that can suit any lifestyle. These vehicles include features such as advanced fuel-saving technology and plug-in hybrid vehicles that can fully charge in under three hours. Check out the Ford hybrid and electric vehicle lineup!
