Are Ford Electric Vehicles and Hybrids the Same?

While Ford produces both hybrids and EVs, the two types of green vehicles are not the same. Both types use an electric motor and a battery pack, but a hybrid also has an internal combustion engine under the hood. Whereas hybrids operate using both gas and electricity, electric cars only consume electricity, meaning they produce zero tailpipe emissions.

Which Ford EV Models are Available at Folsom Lake Ford?

Is a Ford EV Faster Than a Gas-Powered Car?

The electric motors in EVs deliver all their torque and power at zero rpm, which makes them faster off the line. Automobiles with internal combustion engines generate torque and power depending on their speed and displacement, but they cannot deliver high torque and high power at the same time.

How Expensive is it to Maintain a Ford EV?

Ford EVs have fewer points of possible failure because they don't have as many mechanical parts as hybrids and conventional automobiles. As a result, you won't have to bring your Ford EV to our Ford service center as often. In general, it costs about one-third of what it costs to maintain a traditional vehicle to care for a Ford electric car throughout its lifetime.
