Hybrids and Electric Vehicles

Ford C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi

Available as a pure hybrid or a plug-in hybrid, the Ford C-Max offers the consumers plenty of options with two trims for each model. The Ford C-Max hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter Atkinson-Cycle I4 internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor powered by a 1.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. Together, the C-Max averages 42 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. Consumers will find the usual commodities, such as automatic dual-zone temperature control, heated seats, and infotainment systems all available. Being a hybrid, consumers won’t have to worry about recharging, as the lithium-ion battery is recharged through regenerative braking.

The plug-in hybrid, also known as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variant of the C-Max, the C-Max Energi, also has a 2.0-liter Atkinson-Cycle I4 making up the gas engine half of the hybrid system, whereas the electric motor is powered by a larger battery – a 7.6 kWh lithium-ion. Being that PHEVs can use the battery independently of the gas engine, they can also be charged to increase the driving range of the vehicle. On electricity alone, the C-max Energi can drive 20 miles. When the vehicle is being operated in hybrid mode, the PHEV has a combined fuel economy of 95 MPGe. For consumers that don’t like going to the gas station as often and like the idea of recharging, they will be happy to know the C-Max Energi can be charged in as little as 2.5 hours with a 240V outlet or port. The same features and options found on the C-Max hybrid are available for the C-Max Energi.

Ford Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi

The Ford Fusion is another sedan that made it onto the alternative fuel list with a hybrid and a PHEV variant following the same name trend as the C-Max. The Ford Fusion hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter Atkinson-Cycle I4 engine and a 1.4 kWh lithium-ion battery, much like the C-Max. In fact, the Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi have the same powertrains as their C-Max counterpart but get a little more mileage. The Fusion Hybrid has an EPA of 43/41 mpg city/highway, whilst the Fusion Energi has a 21-mile electric range and a hybrid city/highway combined average of 97 MPGe. Like the C-Max, the Fusion Hybrid and Energi come standard with dual-zone automatic temperature control, the SYNC infotainment system, and other convenient features. Heated seats and SYNC3 are optional depending on the trim.

Focus Electric

The third and final sedan to be turned into an alternative fuel vehicle is the Ford Focus. Transformed into an all-electric vehicle, consumers won’t find a gas engine under the hood. All of the power comes from a 33.5 kWh lithium-ion battery that generates 143 horsepower (107 kW) and 184 lb-ft of torque (250 Nm) on its own. Designed with an on-board charge for AC and DC charging, the Focus Electric can be charged in 5.5 hours with a 240V outlet, 30 hours with a 120V outlet, and 33 minutes when using DC charging (up to 80%). The total driving range of the Focus Electric is 115 miles. Heated front seats and dual-zone a/c control come standard, along with SYNC 3 and a Sony Branded 9-speaker audio system. Sounds like the Focus Electric is the winner here.
