Ford also offers the Escape as a PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) that generates 210 total system horsepower. Easily recharge your Escape at home using a standard 120V outlet or at fast-charging stations when on the go. The beauty of the PHEV is that you can also use it as a regular hybrid with no plugs required!
