Hybrid Models

Hybrid vehicles offer the best of both worlds by utilizing both electric power and gas power. The technology that makes them different from plug-in hybrid models is that they never need to be charged with external equipment like a power cable. They’re specifically designed with batteries that can charge themselves with a clever combination of regenerative braking capability coupled with ICE design. Since they arrive with a combustion engine and don’t have to be plugged in, you can have peace of mind during long road trips where you may not be able to find a charging station. A great example of an AWD hybrid truck that doesn’t skimp on power or efficient performance is the latest Ford Maverick engine is a 2.5L fully hybrid motor that pairs with an efficient continuously variable transmission to upgrade your vehicle’s maneuverability and handling. With its innovative hybrid technology, the entry-level XL has a 191-horsepower combined output.

Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles

Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) also benefit from the versatility of using an electric power source in combination with gas power. However, PHEV models do need to be plugged into an external power source so that the battery can recharge, and these vehicles usually offer more efficient performance via their electric power. One of the best benefits of an AWD PHEV vehicle is that it just needs to be plugged into a standard 110V outlet to keep charged, just like the ones that are already installed in your home! Ford’s latest 2023 Plug-in hybrid Escape model offers an impressive 221 horsepower. Additionally, the Escape EV Now and EV Later editions are unique, and they will be useful to drivers who want to maximize their electric power.

All-Electric Models

While it may seem obvious based on the name, all-electric vehicles are one of the most innovative types of vehicles you can own today. They require no gas and don’t come with any combustion-based parts, making them easier to repair and maintain long-term. They are recharged solely with 110V or 240V outlets similar to PHEVs, or at public charging stations when you’re traveling. Since all-electric vehicles are becoming the new norm across the entire automotive industry, public charging stations are starting to become more available around the country. The renowned F-150 lightning offers one of the most reliable and powerful options for all-electric performance that you can get. This AWD pickup truck features a standard 98-kWh battery which produces an EPA-estimated range of 230 miles when fully charged. And for drivers who want even more power, there's an optional extended range battery that flows at 131-kWh with an EPA-estimated range of 320 miles.
