SoCal Gets Ford Plug-in Hybrid
Posted by Mr.Green under: Ford Hybrid Cars .
SoCal Electric Company, just receive one of the 20 Ford Escape Plug-in hybrid. It looks like Ford is stepping ahead of the game to bring hybrid cars on the road.
The Plug-In Escape achieves 120 mpg when the lithium-ion batteries are full charged (for the first 30 miles at least). The ease of just plugging your hybrid into a wall socket is the most convenient method of using a hybrid.
The lithium-ion technology has proven that it’s a match made in heaven with the new hybrids on the market today. These batteries have a longer life span then any conventional battery and weight a lot less, making it the ideal battery for a light-weight hybrid car.
