==== Specifications ==== The C-Max Energi was designed with total {{convert|188|hp|kW PS|0}} in hybrid mode delivered by a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine plus an electric motor powered by a 7.6 [[kWh]] [[lithium-ion battery]] pack, which is smaller and lighter than [[Nickel–metal hydride battery|nickel–metal hydride batteries]] used in previous Ford generation hybrids.<ref name=Specs/><ref name=HC1012/> The electric drivetrain can produce a peak power of {{cvt|68|kW|hp PS|0}}, limited by the size of the electric motor and the power-delivery capability of the battery pack, and delivered a total system power of {{convert|195|hp|kW PS|0}} in [[charge-depleting]] mode (EV mode).<ref name=Specs/> The C-Max Energi is capable of reaching a top electric-only speed of {{convert|85|mph|abbr=on}}, exceeding the [[Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid]] (Prius Prime in North America) by more than {{convert|20|mph|abbr=on}}.<ref name=GCC070812/> The top speed in hybrid mode is {{convert|115|mph|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Specs/> The C-Max Energi uses a [[regenerative braking]] system capable of capturing and reusing more than 95% of the braking energy normally lost during the braking process. The charging time for the C-Max Energi is 7 hours with a 120-volt charger, and 2.5 hours with a 240-volt charger. The charge port has an LED light ring like the [[Ford Focus Electric]] and is located on the driver’s side and near the front of the car. The light ring illuminates to indicate charge status. The battery is covered by an 8-year or {{convert|100000|mi|adj=on}} component warranty.<ref name=Specs/><ref name=HC1012/><ref name=GCC0712>{{cite web|url=http://www.greencarcongress.com/2012/07/cmaxenergi-20120720.html|title=Ford expects 95 MPGe combined fuel economy, 20-mile all electric range from C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid|author=Ford media (press release)|publisher=Green Car Congress|date=2012-07-20|access-date=2012-07-21}}</ref> Ford equipped the C-Max Energi with a button mounted in the center stack that enables drivers to choose an electric-only driving mode, and allows the driver to switch vehicle operation between three modes - electric-only driving without gasoline engine power ("EV Now" setting); normal hybrid mode where the powertrain blends electric and gasoline engine power as appropriate ("EV Auto" setting); or a battery-saving mode that reserves the battery power for later use ("EV Later" setting).<ref name=GCC070812/> Like the [[Ford Fusion Hybrid]], the C-Max Energi comes with a SmartGauge with EcoGuide that provides in-vehicle customizable displays, including instantaneous fuel economy readings and coaching functions to help drivers understand and optimize their [[fuel efficiency]]. The plug-in hybrid also features ECO Cruise which saves energy by relaxing acceleration compared to standard [[cruise control]].<ref name=Specs/><ref name=HC1012/>
