On Tuesday, Ford fired another volley in its sustained campaign to vanquish the Toyota Prius. The automaker’s C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid was certified by the Environmental Protection Agency at a range of 620 miles.
The Energi improved on the ratings of the plug-in hybrid competition; the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is certified by the E.P.A. at 540 miles of total range, and the Chevrolet Volt at 380 miles.
“Congratulations to Ford,” John Hanson, a Toyota spokesman, wrote in an e-mail, a rare hat tip from rival to rival. John Davis, chief engineer for the C-Max, confirmed in a telephone interview that the 620-mile range figure would appear on the Energi’s window sticker. The car will arrive at dealerships next month.
