Electric vs. Hybrid: What's the Difference?

Electric Vehicles (EVs) differ from hybrids and plug-in hybrids. EVs like the Ford F-150 Lightning solely rely on electric power from a battery core and electric motors. In contrast, hybrid variants, such as the Ford F-150 Powerboost®, combine a gasoline engine with a smaller electric battery and motor to deliver enhanced power and fuel economy.

How Long Do EVs Last?

Modern EV technology ensures longevity comparable to many gas-powered vehicles. Ford EVs are backed by an Electric Vehicle Component Coverage Warranty, covering the battery and additional electric components for 8 years or 100,000 miles.

Charging Your Electric Vehicle

Charging your EV is straightforward:

  1. Park Next to the Charger: Position your vehicle near the charging station.
  2. Use the Charging Cord: Connect the Level 1 Charging Cord to a standard wall outlet or use the provided charger.
  3. Choose Your Charging Time: Opt for immediate charging or set a schedule that suits your needs.

Where Can I Charge My Electric Vehicle?

Charging your electric vehicle is convenient:

  • Level 1 (L1) Charging: Utilizes a standard 120-volt wall outlet and a provided cord, suitable for home charging.
  • Level 2 (L2) Charging: Requires a 240-volt charging station, available both at home and in public, significantly reducing charge times.
  • Level 3 (L3) Charging: Found in public spaces, Level 3 charging stations deliver 480-volt Direct Current power for rapid charging.

How Far Can My Ford EV Drive?
