Electric Vehicle Options at Berglund Ford Salem
Are you thinking of making the switch to electric but not sure where to start? At Berglund Ford Salem, we’re here to demystify the world of EVs for you. Electric vehicles come in three electrifying options: BEVs, PHEVs, and HEVs. Whether you’re ready to break up with gas stations forever or just want to see other options for a while, we’ve got something for everyone. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose your new eco-friendly ride.
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs): All-Electric Power, Zero Emissions
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are the EVs of your dreams if you’re looking to ditch gas altogether. They run exclusively on electricity, have zero tailpipe emissions, and come with a dash of futuristic flair. Think of them as giant smartphones on wheels – you charge them up, and off you go! Ford’s 2025 lineup has some seriously impressive BEVs with ranges of 300 miles or more, so your road trips are covered. And if you’re eyeing something bold, the 2025 F-150 Lightning flaunts a range of up to 320 miles – practically daring you to try to drain it.
Ford’s lineup of fully electric BEVs includes:
- 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning: For the "go big or go home" type.
- 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E: For those who want an SUV with serious zip.
- 2025 Ford E-Transit: Perfect for businesses looking for an eco-friendly fleet option.
Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs): The Flexibility to Drive Your Way
Not quite ready to fully commit to electric? A Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) could be your perfect match. PHEVs are part electric, part gas, and all convenience. With both an engine and a battery pack, PHEVs let you cruise in electric-only mode for short trips (usually around 20-40 miles) before seamlessly switching over to gas when needed. It’s like having a superhero car with a "backup plan" cape—pure electric mode for city commutes, hybrid mode for longer drives, and gas-only mode for when you’re just not feeling the whole "charging" thing.
Ford’s PHEV lineup includes:
- 2025 Ford Escape PHEV: An efficient and versatile SUV with an electric range of up to 37 miles.
Hybrids (HEVs): Better Mileage, No Plug Required
If charging stations are scarce in your area, or you’re simply not into the idea of plugging in, a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) might be the one for you. HEVs can’t be plugged in, but they use a small electric motor to support the gas engine, enhancing performance and boosting fuel efficiency. Thanks to regenerative braking, the motor recharges on its own as you drive. So, while they’re not full EVs, HEVs are still a greener option, and they’ll save you a nice chunk of change at the pump without breaking up with gas entirely.
Ford’s HEV lineup includes:
- 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid: A fuel-efficient compact truck that blends power and efficiency.
- 2025 Ford F-150 Hybrid: The full-size hybrid that delivers uncompromising strength.
- 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid: A smart and stylish SUV that keeps fuel costs low.
- 2025 Ford Explorer Hybrid: A spacious and capable SUV with hybrid power.
