Fuel-Efficient Ford Vehicles

For over 100 years, Ford has been a leading innovator in the automotive market. From the Model T to the Mustang, the automaker has engineered legendary vehicles that changed the way people drive. Now, the automaker is leading the way with electric and hybrid-electric vehicles like the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Ford Maverick. Drivers around Baltimore and Annapolis can explore the hybrid and EV models at Bob Bell Ford in Glen Burnie, MD.

Benefits of a Ford Hybrid Vehicle

The hybrid lineup includes vehicles like the Ford Maverick, the Escape Hybrid, and the Ford F-150. These impressive vehicles give drivers the best of both worlds: a gas engine and an electric motor (or two). The gas-powered engine uses less fuel than a standard internal combustion engine, because the electric motor provides more horsepower after getting power from the engine and the brakes. With a hybrid vehicle, drivers don’t have to worry about external charging or range anxiety.

Because hybrid vehicles use regenerative braking, most hybrid vehicles have better fuel economy when driving around the city. For example, the 2025 Ford Maverick with the 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain gets an EPA-estimated 42 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway. The non-hybrid Maverick with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 22 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway.

Driving a Ford Electric Vehicle

Ford builds three noteworthy electric vehicles: the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Ford E-Transit, and the Ford F-150 Lightning. These vehicles have large lithium-ion batteries that require an external charger. The batteries power the electric motors that sit atop the axles. Power comes from an external charger, and EVs need to be charged when the battery level drops.

Ford offers the F-150 Lightning with different battery sizes, but all models have two electric motors and all-wheel drive. Depending on the battery size, the F-150 Lightning delivers either 452 or 580 horsepower. The batteries deliver between 230 and 320 EPA-estimated miles of range on a full charge, and they each need about 40 minutes to charge from 15% to 80% at a public DC fast charger.

The Mustang Mach-E also has varying battery sizes, and drivers can choose models with rear-wheel drive with one electric motor or all-wheel drive with two electric motors. Depending on the model and configuration, the Mustang Mach-E gets an EPA-estimated range between 250 and 320 miles, and it charges overnight with a Level 2 home charger.
