What is a Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)?
As with all hybrids, a Plug-In Hybrid combines a conventional engine with a battery-powered electric motor, to increase efficiency and reduce emissions1.
Plug-In Hybrid are capable of short electric-only journeys. For example, the Escape Plug-In Hybrid has an electric-only range of up to 56kms2. That means fuel savings and lower emissions compared to other hybrid or conventional engine vehicles.
A Ford Plug-In Hybrid is usually best charged at home using a wallbox, or from a standard plug socket using the cable provided. They can also be charged at some public charge points.

How do Plug-In Hybrids (PHEVs) work?
Plug-in hybrids offer two sources of power, combining a conventional ICE engine with a battery-powered electric motor. In addition, our Power-Split Hybrid Technology connects the petrol engine, electric motor, and generator together.
With a lithium-ion battery pack, our Plug-In Hybrid offer enough electric-only, zero-emissions charging for most daily journeys. They’re efficient too, achieving improved fuel economy and noticeably lower CO2 emissions than other conventional non-hybrid engines.
Charging is easy, via a 230-volt power socket using the approved charger supplied with the vehicle OR Wallbox EV Charger installed by a qualified contractor (faster and safer), OR a public charging station.
