Electric and hybrid vehicles made a lot of news at this month's International CES in Las Vegas and the big auto show in Detroit. The Nissan LEAF and General Motors' (GM 0.97%) Chevy Volt have sold more than any other electrified vehicles, but Ford (F -1.00%) and others are working to narrow the gap.

At CES, Motley Fool analyst Rex Moore was able to take a ride with Ford's Mike Tinskey in a 2013 Fusion Hybrid. In part two of this two-part test drive, Tinskey talks about specialized technology such as EV+, which uses GPS to learn your most frequent routes in order to maximize your electric-only driving.
