Ford Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
Stan Palmer Ltd are excited to introduce you to the excellent range of new Mild Hybrid, Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and battery electric vehicles that have been announced so far and help you discover more about the different powertrains available.
Get in touch! Our friendly sales team will be pleased to answer any questions you may have on our expanding electric range. See the FAQ section or contact us on live chat.
MILD HYBRID (MHEV)
A mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) uses a battery-powered electric motor in support of a conventional petrol or diesel engine to improve efficiency and reduce emissions†. Mild hybrids use regenerative braking to charge the battery while driving. They don't charge from an external power source and are not capable of electric-only driving.
Why choose Mild Hybrid:
- Improved Fuel Economy
- No Charging Points
- Familiar Experience

SELF CHARGING HYBRID (HEV)
Self-charging hybrids, sometimes called Full Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FHEV), are often known simply as: hybrids. They combine a hybrid battery with a conventional combustion engine to boost power and improve efficiency. The battery charges as you drive using regenerative breaking.
Self-charging hybrid vehicles have less all-electric range than plug-in hybrids, but are still capable of driving short distances on electric-only power at lower speeds. Ideal for shorter trips about town.
Why choose Self-charging Hybrid:
- Lower Emissions
- No Charging Points
- Improved Fuel Economy

PLUG-IN HYBRID (PHEV)
As with all hybrids, a PHEV combines a conventional engine with a battery-powered electric motor, to increase efficiency and reduce emissions†.
PHEVs are capable of short electric-only journeys. For example, the Kuga PHEV has an electric-only range of up to 28 – 39 miles‡. That means fuel savings and lower emissions compared to other hybrid or conventional engine vehicles.
A Ford PHEV is usually best charged at home using a wallbox, or from a standard plug socket using the cable provided. They can also be charged at some public charge points.
Why choose Plug-in Hybrid:
- Low-Emissions Driving
- Easy Charging
- Spend Less At The Pump

ALL-ELECTRIC (BEV)
An all-electric vehicle, also known as an EV, runs on 100% battery power and charges from an electric charging point. That means zero fuel, zero emissions driving and range up to 293-372† miles.
On the road, you'll experience instant torque, smooth, step-free acceleration, and quiet running.
And with government incentives, reduced road tax, and lower servicing costs, choosing an electric car could be good for your wallet as well as the environment.
Home Charging
You have two options for home charging.
- The simplest: just plug into a standard domestic socket using a home charging cable.
- And the fastest: a dedicated home charging point, like the Ford Connected Wallbox, for charging up to five times faster than a standard socket.
Public Charging
The Ford BlueOval™ Charging Network provides more than 21,000 charging points in the UK, and is expected to grow to 500,000 charging points across Europe by 2024. Plug in with your public charging cable and handle payment with the FordPass app. Charge times vary depending on charger technology, with the fastest charging from 10 to 80% in less than 25 minutes on the all-electric Explorer.
How far can you go?
Plug-in hybrids can drive up to Up to 28-41‡ miles on battery power. All-electric vehicles, like the Mustang Mach-E, have larger batteries and can drive up to 293-372† miles on a full charge.
You are able to find out where your nearest electric charging point is on a feature called ‘Map your Trips’ on the Ford Manufacture website.
