Why Buy a Lincoln PHEV
Benefits of Plug-In Hybrids in Punta Gorda, FL
Besides luxurious standards, the Lincoln brand is known for many other coveted qualities, such as world-class technology and unparalleled performance. Sustainability can also be added to that list since plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models are now available. Thanks to the dual nature of these models, drivers can easily switch between an electric motor and a gas-powered one or drive with a combination of both. Since PHEVs are still rather new to the automotive industry, we figured we would shed some light on the benefits and capabilities of Lincoln plug-in hybrids.

What are the Benefits of a Lincoln PHEV?
Convenient Charging
Charging your luxurious Lincoln PHEV is easier than ever, since every one of these models comes with a Lincoln Mobile Power Cord. This cord is capable of charging at 120 volts or 240 volts (with professional installation). With this tool, you’ll be able to charge your vehicle overnight and embark on your daily commute without any interruptions.
Tax Credits
Many may not know that select PHEVs qualify for federal and state tax incentives. This is a major bonus, thanks to the U.S. Department of Energy . They’ve stated that every plug-in hybrid vehicle that’s purchased in 2023 or after may be eligible for a federal income tax credit of up to $7,500. Tax season just got sweeter — look forward to receiving a substantial credit when you purchase a new 2023 Lincoln PHEV.
Peace of Mind
Breathe a little easier with the flexibility of blending innovative all-electric driving with the familiarity of a gas-powered engine as well. Don’t worry about efficiency when you’ll receive an EPA-estimated all-electric driving range of up to 21 miles.* If you wish to conserve your battery, take advantage of the different driving modes that are available, but also be aware that your Lincoln plug-in hybrid is backed by a gas engine that will always have your back.
Lincoln Plug-In Hybrid FAQs
How and where do I charge my car?
With every Lincoln PHEV, drivers will receive a Lincoln Mobile Power Cord capable of charging 120 volts or 240 volts. To charge your model, simply plug the cord into the charge port door either overnight or for a few hours. A standard garage outlet can handle a 120-volt adapter, so if you’re looking to use a 240-volt cord, visit Qmerit.com to find Level 2 installation services in your area.
If you’re on the go, you can charge your Lincoln PHEV via a public charging station. Don’t forget to take advantage of the Lincoln Way™ App to locate a public charging station near you. Plus, since your model will come with its own charging cord, you can simply find a compatible outlet anywhere you are to charge up your ride. Don’t sweat it if you run out of charge though — your Lincoln PHEV will automatically switch to its gas-powered engine to get you where you need to go.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 charging utilizes a 120-volt outlet, which is a standard voltage for most homes. With this level, your Lincoln PHEV will be fully charged within 10-11 hours. A Level 2 charger is much quicker and utilizes a 240-volt outlet, which will get your Lincoln PHEV charged within three to four hours. Your Lincoln PHEV will come with a dual-voltage charging cord that allows you the flexibility to charge at Level 1 or Level 2. However, a majority of homes will require a professional to install a Level 2 charging station.
What is regenerative braking?
Regenerative braking is a system that helps capture energy emitted during braking and redirects it back into the powertrain of your vehicle. Through this, your Lincoln PHEV will receive a little extra energy that would’ve otherwise been lost.
Does my Lincoln plug-in hybrid come with a warranty?
Absolutely — every new 2023 and 2024 Lincoln PHEV will come equipped with a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty and 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty; the hybrid/electric unique components are covered for eight years or 100,000 miles.
