Driving your plug-in hybrid efficiently

An owner plugs in their plug-in hybrid at home.

Your 2025 Escape® Plug-in Hybrid is designed to offer impressive fuel efficiency, with a great EPA-estimated range* and MPGe.**

Your plug-in hybrid uses a combination of gasoline and battery power. The degree to which battery power is used is dependent on road conditions, the weather, and your particular driving style.

Here are some smart tips to help you further optimize your range and fuel economy:

Help Optimize Your Miles per Charge and MPG

  • The integrated generator and regenerative braking provide power to the lithium-ion battery, which, in tandem with the 2.5L Atkinson plug-in hybrid engine, offers impressive hybrid EPA-estimated fuel economy** and performance.
  • To maximize battery capability in EV mode, you can easily plug into a standard 120V outlet using the mobile power cord included with your 2025 Escape® SUV, or an available 240V Level 2 charging station.
  • Select EV Coach from your cluster display to optimize your electric driving by displaying real-time information, letting you monitor how your driving behavior affects vehicle efficiency.
  • Brake Coach appears after your vehicle has come to a stop and helps you optimize the regenerative braking system so that your driving range can be maximized through proper braking techniques.
  • The FordPass® app† and your in-vehicle center display let you monitor and schedule battery charging to help you maximize your driving range, set target charge levels, and more.
