Too bad for America our corporations long ago outsourced that kind of effort and heart. Everyone’s all excited that Ford just turned a profit, but they’re doing it with a fleet of uninspired crappy cars that they practically have to give away. When’s your affordable EV that gets 1oo mile range on a quick charge Ford?

Under deceleration—when braking, or coasting towards a junction or downhill—the MHSG switches to generator mode, recuperating energy from the crankshaft to recharge the battery on-the-go. If the battery has sufficient charge, the combustion engine turns off automatically during in-gear deceleration and braking.
