The Ford EV & Hybrid Lineup

The Ford EV and hybrid lineup consists of five main models. Each offers a unique spin on a fan-favorite vehicle or offers up something entirely new. They are the:

  • Ford F-150 Hybrid
  • Ford Maverick Hybrid
  • Ford F-150 Lightning
  • Ford Mustang Mach-E
  • Ford E-Transit

Basics of Charging

Traditional Hybrid Charging: Traditional hybrid vehicles charge strictly through regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is available in all types of electric vehicles. It regains charge through braking. Traditional hybrids have the smallest battery of any electric vehicle type.

Plug-In Hybrid Charging: Plug-in hybrid SUVs offer larger batteries and must plug in to regain the majority of their juice. Drivers can plug in to Level 1 home outlets, Level 2 home charging stations, Level 2 public charging stations, or even DC fast chargers.

EV Charging: EVs require the same basic charging needs as a plug-in hybrid, but for bigger batteries. As EVs rely solely on electric power, they feature larger batteries and multiple electric motors, which require longer charging times. DC fast chargers can generally regain up to 80% power within half an hour for EVs.

Ownership Considerations & Benefits in Maryland

  • Do you live in a house or complex that allows installation of home chargers?
  • Are you okay with waiting half an hour to charge your EV while on the go?
  • Hybrids and plug-in hybrids offer more efficiency and longer driving ranges than many gas-powered vehicles
  • Hybrids of all types can require more maintenance
  • EVs need fewer components and often require less maintenance and upkeep
  • Hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and EVs can accelerate much quicker than gas vehicles and are all much quieter, too
