As with all hybrids, a PHEV combines a conventional engine with a battery-powered electric motor, to increase efficiency and reduce emissions.
PHEVs are capable of short electric-only journeys. For example, the Transit Custom PHEV has an electric-only range of up to 23-35 miles. That means fuel savings and lower emissions compared to other hybrid or conventional engine vehicles.
A Ford PHEV is usually best charged at home using a wall box, or from a standard plug socket using the cable provided. They can also be charged at some public charge points.
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 PHEVs 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, Wallbox charger, or a public charging station.
