2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid Range

The new Ford Escape comes in various trim levels for every lifestyle in Troy, including three types of performance: gas-powered, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid. If you’re thinking about getting one of the plug-in hybrid models either on the SE, SEL, or Titanium trim, you might be wondering how far the battery power can take you. The 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid range is an EPA estimate of up to 38 miles when its 14.4-kWh lithium-ion battery is fully charged! Find out more below before bringing the Escape home or placing a custom order at Ford of Latham. 

How Does It Compare to the 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid Range? 

While the new Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is respectable on its own, how does it compare to the Ford Escape Hybrid range? Since the hybrid models can’t go long distances solely on battery power, they don’t have a sizeable electric-only driving range. If you’re unsure if a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid Escape is right for you in Albany, you should keep in mind that the hybrid models have a smaller battery pack, have a lower price tag, and have the availability in both forward-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). They’re also available in the same trims: SE, SEL, and Titanium. On the other hand, plug-in hybrid models only come in FWD and despite their battery being larger, it is stored outside the passenger compartment, so passenger space in the cabin is maximized! 

How Long Does It Take to Charge the Escape Plug-In Hybrid?

Once the battery runs out of power, the Escape Plug-In Hybrid will automatically switch to using gas to continue your commute around the Schenectady area. However, when you have time for a recharge, you can use the Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging ports to easily power up! Depending on which charger you use, the charging times will vary before you can enjoy the 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid range again. Here is the breakdown: 

• Standard 110-volt Level 1 Charger: Fully charge in 10 to 11 hours
• Optional 240-Volt Level 2 Charger: Full charge in roughly 3.5 to 4.5 hours depending on outlet amperage*

Beyond the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid Range: More Performance Specs 

There is so much more to the performance this SUV can offer beyond the impressive Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid range.

•  Paired with eCVT 
• 165 hp
