In addition, the 2024 Ford Escape is also available as a pure hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. Both hybrids are environmentally friendly options and both give you very good fuel economy. If you're considering these two intriguing choices, here's a comparison of the two Ford Escape hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles that are available through us at Advantage Ford Fremeont in Fremont, OH.
The many advantages of the Ford Escape hybrid
The Ford Escape hybrid is an outstanding choice for just about everyone who wants better fuel economy and doesn't want to worry about plugging in or recharging. For example, if you live in an apartment without a nearby power source, a traditional Ford Escape Hybrid is a very good option. It combines traditional gasoline power and electricity to give you first-rate gas mileage and reduced emissions.
The seamless hybrid system in the Ford Escape provides Clyde and Tiffin owners with a responsive, smooth drive that works well for urban commuting and longer road trips. The battery is recharged with power from the gasoline engine and regenerative braking. Thus, it recycles energy that would otherwise be lost and lets you avoid having to spend hours recharging the battery.
Some more details about the Ford Escape pure hybrid SUV
One of the big advantages of the Escape Hybrid is its ability to recycle energy through regenerative braking. This feature captures kinetic energy that would typically be lost during braking and uses it to help recharge your battery, enhancing your overall efficiency without the need to plug in and power up. With the help of this advanced system, the Escape Hybrid not only increases your gas mileage but it also reduces emissions without creating range anxiety or having to be close to a power source as you drive around Oak Harbor.
The Escape Hybrid is a great choice for drivers who want to keep things familiar and stay within a budget. The Escape Hybrid has a spacious interior with plenty of comfort. The cabin is full of convenient tech features that you'll appreciate. The Escape Hybrid is a reliable solution if you're looking for a way to enhanced fuel economy without the inconvenience of long charging times and anxiety about short driving ranges and charging stations that are hard to find.
How the Ford Escape plug-in hybrid works
If you're worried about driving a fully electric EV because of the limited driving range and long charging times, a plug-in hybrid is one option to consider. The Ford Escape plug-in hybrid has a larger battery pack that increases the all-electric driving range. It works well if you have very short commutes around town or easy access to a charging station at home. By plugging in, you can get the benefits of electric driving and still have the trusted, familiar gas engine as a backup on longer journeys.
The plug-in hybrid can switch easily between electric and hybrid power sources to give you more flexibility and efficiency. The Ford Escape plug-in hybrid has a driving range of only 37 miles using just the battery but it can drive up to 520 miles with the help of the gasoline-powered engine. The Ford Escape plug-in hybrid requires about 10 to 11 hours to fully recharge with a 110-volt Level 1 charger. If you pay to have a 240-volt Level 2 charger installed in your garage, the Ford Escape plug-in hybrid can be recharged in about 3.5 to 4.5 hours.
