SoCal Edison receives first Escape hybrid plug-in

Partnership to test plug-in hybrid vehicles

Ford is delivering the first of 20 Ford Escape hybrids that have been converted into plug-in hybrid vehicles to Southern California Edison. While the program is in its very early stages, it will eventually evolve into a program that will test Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Vehicle to Home (V2H) technologies.

The plug-in Escape hybrid can achieve about 30 miles on pure electric power using a 10 kWh lithium-ion battery pack developed my Johnson-Controls Saft.
