The Ford Hybrid & Electric Range

Ford's range of hybrid and electric vehicles have arrived at Pye Motors. There are currently four types of electric engines on the market: Mild Hybrid (MHEV), Hybrid (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), and All Electric (BEV). Each electric engine covers different distances on pure electric; some are ideal for running errands, while others are suited to a longer trips. This page will help you to understand the difference between each engine and you’ll be able to decide what is best for you.

    MHEV Icon Mild Hydrid Icon
    Mild Hybrid (MHEV) has a small electrical motor that helps improve efficiency. It’s merely there to assist the car, not power it and thus cannot drive on electric energy only. Instead, the vehicle is powered by a conventional engine only.
    Hybrid Icon
    The classic hybrid (HEV) which automatically switches between two sources of power, conventional combustion and pure electric. It can use both as needed, with pure electric driving suitable for short distances. To make the whole system more efficient, regenerative braking captures up to 90% of the energy normally lost through friction brakes, allowing you to charge your engine on the go.
    Plug-In Hybrid Icon
    The Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) has a higher voltage battery, allowing you to drive longer distances on all electric. The PHEV can be charged from an external electricity supply, an added bonus from the traditional hybrid. It’s ideal for zero-emission electric driving for 30 miles and the manual switch allows to conserve battery life for longer journeys.
    BEV Icon Battery Electric Vehicle Icon
    All Electric (BEV) Like the name states this engine runs exclusively on battery power, delivering zero emissions while driving. This fully electric powered engine can drive up to 300 miles before needing to be recharged; that’s 10x further than the Plug-in Hybrid. Public charging stations will only take 20 minute to charge the battery to 80%, or there’s the option to install a Wallbox charging station at home for easy overnight charging.

    HOME CHARGING

    You have two options for home charging.

    • The simplest: just plug into a standard domestic socket using a home charging cable.
    • And the fastest: a dedicated home charging point, like the Ford Connected Wallbox, for charging up to five times faster than a standard socket.

    PUBLIC CHARGING

    The Ford BlueOval™ Charging Network provides more than 21,000 charging points in the UK, and is expected to grow to 500,000 charging points across Europe by 2024. Plug in with your public charging cable and handle payment with the FordPass app. Charge times vary depending on charger technology, with the fastest charging from 10 to 80% in less than 25 minutes on the all-electric Explorer.
