How Do Electric Vehicles Differ From Their Gas-Powered Counterparts?

There are many facts about EVs you should know about before purchasing one. Firstly, it’s true that EVs have fewer emissions than your average gasoline-powered car, so if you’re serious about leaving less of a carbon footprint, you’re already making the right choice. Hybrids also aren’t anything new, as Honda released the Prius in the late 1990s, which would popularize the concept for the masses. However, in a league of its own, Ford EVs have taken the world by storm, and Ford, like many other manufacturers, has noticed a rise in popularity for hybrids, PHEVs, and BEVs and has dedicated itself to this growing market.

Purchasing an EV has plenty of benefits to ownership, many of which are noticeable upon the first drive. The most notable difference between vehicles with EV components and those without is that you’re bound to save more money with the EV, whether because of better fuel economy ratings or the ability to charge the battery at home. EVs also regularly utilize a continuously variable transmission (CVT), meaning accelerating EVs feels unlike a traditional vehicle because there are no tangible shifting gears. The acceleration of a vehicle with a CVT feels continuous, as the name suggests. Other benefits of owning an EV include tax benefits, such as when you purchase a Plug-In EV, the State of Vermont has formed incentive programs for these drivers, regularly in the form of cash-back.

What’s the Difference Between PHEVs, Hybrids, and BEVs?

Many people are familiar with the term “Hybrid.” Nowadays, people have also become familiar with the term “EV,” yet there are some misconceptions. Many people believe EVs are the vehicles you plug in at home or a charging station and run with no engine, and you’d be right. However, that’s only a small chunk of the overall grander picture. The term “EV” does involve vehicles that don’t use gasoline – these vehicles are known as BEVs– but it’s also a correct term for hybrids and BEVs. So, what are the differences between the three?

As we mentioned, BEVs are EVs that don’t have a gasoline-powered powertrain, meaning the fuel pump will be completely useless to you. These vehicles rely solely on a sizable battery coupled with electric motors paired with a CVT. Charging the battery is done by plugging it in. Ford offers three at-home charging solutions, including 120V and 240V wall outlets, with the former adding three miles per charging hour, while the latter adds 21 miles per charging hour, which makes it the preferred method unless you opt for the Ford Connected Charge Station, which is the fastest means of home-charging with 30 miles of range added per hour. When on the go, Ford partners with the BlueOval Charge Network, so even faster DC chargers are available to you.

PHEVs and Hybrids are more alike; they both require gasoline and have a battery, but the main difference is that PHEVs can have their batteries charged via the same method as BEVs but can also be charged via Regenerative Braking. Regenerative Braking is how PHEVs can capture and recycle the kinetic energy formed when your brake pads stop your car, and this energy is transferred into the battery to extend its lifespan before the next charge. Hybrids have batteries charged through Regenerative Braking and aren’t plugged in for power. Hybrids are more like traditional gasoline-powered vehicles than any of the other two, and for many, it’s the best of both worlds, thanks to the money you save.

A Look at Ford’s Electric Vehicle Lineup

Ford has an impressive selection of EVs that have been added to the lineup over the years. Among the Ford EVs you can buy, you can purchase SUVs and trucks, and the E-Transit serves as a BEV van option. The Maverick and F-150 are two popular Ford trucks – especially the F-150, which is the best-selling vehicle in the country – and there are hybrid variants of both. Vehicles like the F-150 Hybrid proved that batteries in pickup trucks weren’t a detriment, and Ford has doubled down on this sentiment with the F-150 Lightning, which is Ford’s first BEV pickup truck.

The Explorer Hybrid has three-row SUV seekers set with a fuel-efficient powertrain that doesn’t revoke much power from the beloved SUV. Families who want to save money but still have the best three-row SUV experience possible should look no further than the Explorer Hybrid. The Mustang Mach-E is also a popular name nowadays with its take on a BEV compact SUV that’s powerful enough to properly earn the Mustang moniker.
