Ford C-MAX C-MAX Energy and Hybrid would use sophisticated lithium-ion battery system developed and assembled at home by Ford in Michigan. Any intelligent system designed to maximize the use of common, high-quality components, such as hardware control board that has proven performance at Ford Field, critically acclaimed hybrid vehicle.
Li-ion battery pack offers a number of advantages over nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries that power hybrid vehicles today. In general, they are 25 to 30 percent smaller and 50 percent lighter, which makes them easier to package in a vehicle, and can be set to increase the power to increase the acceleration or to increase the energy to extend the driving distance.
While Ford C-MAX Hybrid will operate like the current hybrid vehicles, C-MAX Energy will benefit from daily charging to maximize all-electric range. Thanks to the efficiency of its right-sized battery system, plug-in hybrid to easily fill the back 100 per cent overnight on 120-volt outlet.
A full charge on C MAX Energy allows owners to improve their driving significantly in all-electric mode and drastically reduce fuel use on-board engine.
At start-up, Ford C-MAX Energy will operate in a cost-depletion mode, providing electric driving range. When the battery is discharged or certain conditions are met, then the switch to hybrid mode to maintain cost-efficiency for optimal fuel continued.
Ford works with suppliers to provide plug-five points to industry-standard C-MAX Energy (New Focus and Electric) which is ergonomically comfortable to hold and durable and distinctively designed. Plug handle using matte-finished black rubber to grip, comfortable non-slip and head of the connector is protected with a glossy white hard plastic to protect the electronics. Ford Blue Oval brand helped make the device immediately recognizable.
When the connector cable set connected to the vehicle charge port, which lies easily between the driver's door and front wheel well, will activate a light ring that loops around the port twice in the recognition of connectivity. The ring lights then illuminate the quadrant as the cost of the vehicle. Blinking quadrant represents the cost of completion and solid-lit quadrants indicate the stage of completion costs. When all the solid ring is lit, the vehicle is fully charged.
Smarter interface
Ford C-MAX Energy owners will have access to a suite driver information system - on-board and off-board - designed to help them manage the charging process, set the route of the most environmentally friendly on-board, remote control and charge their vehicle preconditioning settings, monitor the condition of the battery cost and maximize energy efficiency to extend the use of electric mode. Ford C-MAX Hybrid owners will also benefit from features on-board.
Among these tools is a unique execution of MyFord Touch ™ driver technology to connect, especially for electric driving. Offering exceptional configurability vehicle information, including fuel level, battery level, and average and instant miles per gallon.
Cluster's MyView new feature allows the driver to access vehicle data such demands even more electric vehicle accessories, including air conditioning, which affects fuel economy and driving range power of the Ford C-MAX Energy.
Features Brake Coach helps to educate drivers to optimize their regenerative braking to recapture kinetic energy and send it back to the battery, also reduce wear on the brake.
long-term fuel efficiency can be displayed in two ways - either as a traditional chart or using an innovative screen that displays the shady grape growing in the right side of the cluster. Customers are more efficient is, the more lush and beautiful the leaves and the plants become, creating a unique visual reward for the efforts of the driver.
To reinforce the message, at the end of each trip presents the screen display distance driven, miles earned through regenerative braking, fuel consumption (average and total) and a score of regenerative braking.
