Ford plans to give 20 Escape Plug-in Hybrids for fleet use to the Southern California Edison electric company. These are upgraded versions of the the Escape Hybrids you see on the road today.
Relying on lithium-ion batteries, the Escape Plug-in can achieve fuel economy of up to 120 miles per gallon, Ford claims, during the first 30 miles of driving at moderate speeds after a full charge.
