The Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid in demand due to its fuel efficiency. Its power and handling features allow the driver to operate the vehicle efficiently. Two of those features are regenerative braking and Electric Power-Assisted Steering.
Regenerative Braking
In most non-hybrid and regular gas vehicles, braking wastes energy. When you press on the brakes in the Ford Fusion Energi however, the electric motor converts the kinetic energy lost during the braking motion into energy that is stored in the battery. When you accelerate the vehicle, it uses that stored energy.
Electric Power-Assisted Steering
Electric Power-Assisted Steering, or EPAS, reduces the effort you use to drive the vehicle. There are three advantages to having this electric system in your Ford Fusion Energi:
- Exceptional vehicle control
- Improved fuel economy
- More economical and lightweight than a hydraulic steering system
