Electric cars come in all sorts of styles, from sedans to trucks. The similarity is the power under the hood. Electrified models also come in various options, such as:
A hybrid model has both a gasoline engine and a battery. The battery helps preserve fuel, usually through systems like regenerative braking, where the battery charges as the vehicle idles.
A plug-in hybrid must be charged externally through a charging port; however, it still has a gasoline engine as a backup.
Fully electric models, as we’ll dig into more closely, run on an electric motor that’s paired with an electric battery. These vehicles offer an exciting new type of driving for you to enjoy.
Electric driving has benefits that everyone can appreciate, such as:
An electric vehicle operates without producing any tailpipe/gasoline emissions. This leads to a greener drive that benefits the environment and allows you to travel steadily, without filling up with gas.
A key benefit of electric vehicles is that these models have battery ranges spanning hundreds of miles, especially in the Ford lineup.
When you do have to charge your vehicle, there’s plenty of flexibility for you to get the job done at home or on the go. You can easily explore electric charging stations in your area or during a road trip.
In addition, some electric vehicles offer federal tax credits when you purchase one. These may include some of the Ford models that we have in stock.
