s HV Battery with the use of a standard electrical chord. It can be charged using 110V or 220V standard household current and takes about 6 hours to achieve a full charge. The Ford Hybrid Escape Plug In is not range-limited by the amount of charge in the HV Battery, when the HV Battery charge has been depleted (or the owner forgets to plug it in), the vehicle will continue to operate as a standard Hybrid electric vehicle.
