A Ford hybrid vehicle is a low-emission vehicle that utilizes an electric motor that assists the gas-powered engine. A hybrid switches between the electric motor and gas engine to optimize your San Antonio fuel efficiency. The gas engine and regenerative braking system recharge the battery, which doesn’t require being plugged in to charge. Ford hybrids feature intelligent technology and many top-of-the-line safety features. The Ford hybrid lineup includes the popular Ford Fusion, the versatile Ford Escape, Ford Explorer, and the Ford Maverick.
The Ford Escape is available in a hybrid configuration for those who love this perennial favorite but who also want to get the most out of every drop of fuel. A 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-cycle I-4 hybrid engine is paired with an eCVT automatic transmission for smooth and efficient handling.
The Explorer is another fan-favorite that is offered as a hybrid. Limited Hybrid and Platinum Hybrid trims are able to tow up to 5,000 pounds. They are also off-road capable for drivers who prefer to take the road less traveled.
A hybrid powertrain comes standard with the Maverick pickup. A traditional EcoBoost engine is also available. FLEXBED™ options make it safe and easy to stow your belongings, whether that be for work or weekend adventures.
Like a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have a gas engine and electric motor. A PHEV can be plugged in to charge the electric battery, but it can also recharge the battery through regenerative braking. While regular hybrids can travel one to two miles at a low speed before the gas engine turns on, PHEVs can go anywhere from 10-40 miles before the gas engine engages. If a PHEV’s all-electric range is used up, it can act like a regular hybrid and travel only on gas. A PHEV provides the best of both worlds, allowing you to drive in the electric mode most of the time while having the peace of mind of a backup gas engine when needed. The Ford Escape and Fusion are available as PHEVs.
A plug-in hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 engine and eCVT hybrid/plug-in hybrid transmission maximizes range so you can enjoy more time on the open road. It can even tow up to 1,500 pounds.
Powered by an electric battery, Ford electric vehicles contain no gas engine parts and run only on electricity. An EV must be plugged in to charge the battery. All Ford EVs can be fast charged and are zero-emissions vehicles. Ford electric vehicles include the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, and E-Transit. Wouldn’t it be refreshing to enjoy the minimal scheduled maintenance costs, zero emissions, available tax incentives, and near instantaneous torque that you get from Ford electric vehicles?
The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has an EPA-estimated range of 230 miles. It also gives you the power to tow up to 7,700 pounds with the standard-range battery. What’s more? The F-150 Lightning Mega-Power Frunk offers 14.1 cubic feet of space.
Expect the thrilling performance that Mustangs are known for in a crossover EV package. Secure over-the-air software updates keep the Mustang Mach-E performing at its best at all times. Opt for a GT model for even more excitement.
The Ford E-Transit van offers well over 100 miles of range on a full charge, and it can be upfitted to meet the needs of your business. The battery has been strategically placed underneath the body of the vehicle so that cargo space is not compromised.
