How do you choose between a hybrid, a plug-in hybrid or a 100% electric vehicle?
Ford has turned the corner on electrification, offering one of the most comprehensive ranges of low-emission vehicles in all categories. To make the right choice, you must be familiar with each vehicle and each technology. So, you'd be able to determine which one will best suit your needs.
Hybrid powertrain
This is the simplest and most transparent to the user. The gasoline engine remains unchanged, but a small electric motor and battery are added for extra support when needed.
This kind of configuration requires no intervention on the part of the driver and promotes fuel economy when acceleration and braking are more frequent, as is the case in urban driving. The battery is recharged by regenerative braking, as well as by the unused power of the gasoline engine.
Range of hybrid models
For a pickup truck like the Ford Maverick, the electric motor works with the 2.5L engine to deliver a combined 191 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque (electric motor), powered by a 1.1 kWh lithium-ion battery. Now available with All-Wheel Drive (AWD), it boasts exceptional fuel economy, rated at 6.2 L/100 km (combined) for FWD models and approximately 6.6 L/100 km for AWD configurations.

The king of the fleet, the 2026 Ford F-150 PowerBoost, maintains an impressive 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque thanks to its hybrid powertrain and 1.5 kWh battery. This versatile truck offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 11,200 lbs (depending on configuration) while achieving an efficient combined fuel economy of 9.8 to 10.2 L/100 km. It also features the Pro Power Onboard system as standard, turning your truck into a powerful mobile generator.

Plug-in hybrid powertrain
The plug-in version of Ford vehicles takes economy and environmental protection a step further. By integrating a battery that can be recharged directly from the grid, it offers a 100% electric range of just a few dozen kilometres before switching to gasoline mode. This combination also offers a number of driving modes that conserve power for urban areas and full engine power on freeways.
Range of plug-in hybrid models
Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid: the name PHEV (for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) clearly indicates its vocation. With its larger 14.4-kWh battery, 118-hp electric motor and 129 lb-ft of torque, it can go up to 60 kilometres before switching to gasoline and will need around 2 hours at a Level 2 home terminal for a full recharge.

Electric drive
The ideal solution for the environment is a 100% electric vehicle. Armed with an imposing battery, they feature a powerful engine and lively, responsive acceleration. However, they will need to be recharged for a few hours, and plugged into Level 2 or 3 charging stations to regain their full capacity.
Range of electric models
Ford Mustang Mach-E: Available with Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) or Electric All-Wheel Drive (eAWD), and featuring either a Standard or Extended Range battery, the 2026 Mustang Mach-E remains a perfect blend of a versatile SUV and a sporty sedan. Depending on the chosen trim, it comes equipped with a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery for base models or a Lithium-Ion (NMC) battery for enhanced performance. In its most efficient configuration, it now offers an estimated maximum range of 515 kilometers, allowing you to cover long distances on a single charge.

Ford e-Transit: Based on the world's best-selling commercial van, the 2026 e-Transit is a leader in its class. Featuring a new 89 kWh battery, it now delivers an enhanced range of up to 255 kilometers (low roof) without a single drop of gas. Highly versatile, it can gain approximately 111 km of range in just 10 minutes using a DC fast charger.
