I purchased a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid that is giving me 38 miles to the gallon and I want to improve the mileage.  I have heard that a second battery can be installed along with a home charging system.  Engine control modifications would also need to be added to enable the batteries to run down farther before the gas engine kicks in.  I am also interested in converting the gas engine to E-85 capability.  I am unable to find any information about accomplishing these goals and would appreciate any leads toward finding some help and guidance.
 
: We have a [[Ford Escape Hybrid]] webpage with information about that vehicle.  Although [[Hymotion]] has plans to offer PHEV kits for this vehicle that's about all that we can tell you at this point.  We do not yet have an [[Escape PHEV]] page though once we get the [[Prius PHEV]] conversion process to a stable and working state it should be relatively easy to transfer the methods we've learned to the other vehicles with similar powertrains. --[[User:Rjf|Rjf]] 18:53, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
