Ford Electric & Hybrid Cars

Discover Ford’s expanding line-up of all electric vehicles. Future ready and 100% emission free, Ford’s fully electric vehicles offer an incredibly efficient drive every single time you get behind the wheel.

With over eleven billion dollars of investment in electric vehicles already under its belt, Ford is leading the way in electric. The all-new Ford Mustang Mach-E is the first all-electric Ford car and proves just how powerful electric vehicles can be. It combines Ford’s innovative technologies with the performance and capabilities that Ford drivers have come to expect and love. Discover the Ford Mustang Mach-E today and start enjoying the many advantages of owning an all-electric Ford.

Owning an electric vehicle from Ford comes with some very attractive benefits. The most obvious advantage to choosing an electric car is that it completely eliminates any CO2 emissions, meaning you can enjoy a cleaner drive at all times. With this comes some additional benefits, too, including much lower running costs no matter how much you rely on your car. As an electric vehicle owner, you never need to worry about the cost of fuel and filling up to get from A to B. You can also enjoy reduced road tax, no penalties in low emission zones and lower maintenance costs.

With more than 10,000 charging points across Europe and counting, you can easily charge your electric vehicle while doing your weekly food shop at your local supermarket, eating lunch at a motorway service station or running any other errands. Finding a charging station is easy thanks to the FordPass app, which works with an in-car system to locate a charging point and choose the best time to charge. And, if you choose to install a Ford Wallbox at home, you can easily and affordably charge your car overnight so it’s fully charged for the morning.

Ford’s hybrid technologies are leading the way for electric vehicles. Bridging the gap between a fully electric vehicle and a traditional petrol or diesel engine, a hybrid vehicle offers the best of both worlds. If you’re considering making the switch to an electrified car, Ford has a number of hybrid cars and vans to choose between, including both mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid options. And with everything from the compact Ford Kuga to the 9-seater Ford Tourneo Custom now available with added hybrid technology, there’s a hybrid car for every driver.

Ford hybrid cars (HEV) combine a traditional gasoline engine with a large battery and powerful electric motor. By using both of these, Ford’s hybrid vehicles maximise fuel efficiency. That means that drivers can benefit from zero emissions journeys when travelling shorter distances, knowing that the internal combustion engine is there to step when needed. For city dwellers and other drivers who regularly travel short distances, Ford’s hybrid technology offers an incredibly efficient way to get around.

On Ford’s mild hybrid vehicles (MHEV), a conventional engine benefits from an added electric motor. Thanks to Ford’s innovative technology, the battery in a mild hybrid Ford car never needs to be plugged into an external power supply. Instead, it is automatically recharged by regenerative braking, meaning you can enjoy the benefits of added electric power while going about your day.

Ford plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) can use a combination of automatic self-charging technology and plug in capabilities to recharge. Thanks to the larger capacity battery found in Ford’s plug-in hybrid vehicles, you can enjoy drives with zero emissions for up to 35 miles at a time. You can also switch to hybrid mode to conserve battery life or choose not to use the battery at all on longer drives. The result is an electrified vehicle that offers both efficiency and convenience.

All-Electric

An all-electric vehicle, also known as an EV, runs on 100% battery power and charges from an electric charging point. That means zero fuel, zero emissions driving and range up to 280 – 379 mile. On the road, you'll experience instant torque, smooth, step-free acceleration, and quiet running. And with government incentives, reduced road tax, and lower servicing costs, choosing an electric car could be good for your wallet as well as the environment.

Plug-in Hybrid

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 Kuga PHEV has an electric-only range of up to 28 – 39 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 wallbox, or from a standard plug socket using the cable provided. They can also be charged at some public charge points.

Self-Charging Hybrid

Self-charging hybrids, sometimes called Full Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FHEV), are often known simply as: hybrids. They combine a hybrid battery with a conventional combustion engine to boost power and improve efficiency. The battery charges as you drive using regenerative breaking. Self-charging hybrid vehicles have less all-electric range than plug-in hybrids, but are still capable of driving short distances on electric-only power at lower speeds. Ideal for shorter trips about town.

Mild Hybrid

A mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) uses a battery-powered electric motor in support of a conventional petrol or diesel engine to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Mild hybrids use regenerative braking to charge the battery while driving. They don't charge from an external power source and are not capable of electric-only driving. Mild hybrids combine an electric motor and 48-bolt battery with a conventional engine. The electric motor seamlessly integrates with the engine and uses stored energy to provide extra torque. The system monitors vehicle usage to determine whether to use or charge the battery.
