The battery capacity of the 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is 14.4 kWh.
Ford’s fourth-generation Escape PHEV uses a lithium-ion battery pack rated at 14.4 kilowatt-hours. The pack sits beneath the cabin floor and supplies energy to the electric motors while the vehicle’s 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine provides gasoline-electric hybrid operation when needed.
The 14.4-kWh figure is the battery’s rated capacity, not the amount drivers can normally use. Published specifications identify about 10.7 kWh as usable, because automakers reserve part of a battery’s charge window to protect durability and maintain consistent performance.
The Escape PHEV was offered only with front-wheel drive in the U.S. Its electric-only range was rated at roughly 37 miles, while the standard Escape Hybrid used a much smaller 1.1-kWh battery. That difference is a common source of mix-ups between the two powertrains.
