That's some cheap crap right there. I've put vinyl decals from eBay on my vehicles and NEVER had an an issue with a car wash.
I never baked on my ebay vinyl stickers.
Correct while regen is part of it the engine also has to be able to efficiently recharge the battery/energize the traction motor and provide power to the drive wheels.
You can achieve better MPGs by driving it like it's weaker than it is which means accelerate very slowly.
That's not how it works. The current 2.5L engine isn't even strong enough to power the traction motor to its full potential.
"Output jumps from 88 kW (118 hp) and 149 lb-ft of torque in the 2021 Ford Escape to 98 kW (131 hp) and 173 lb-ft. But the Maverick's motor power is actually pegged at...
My point is more so for us hybrid owners. Hybrids for the most part have been slower. Then consider the fact that the Ecoboost engine brings a $1k premium makes the hybrid's performance in comparison a nice surprise.
This is some motor Trend data from last month. I just got around to seeing it today.
The far two right columns are mine.
EB with 4k has a gear ratio advantage on take off versus a non 4K EB. The 0-40 mph lead would therefor be smaller without it.
Hybrid is 0.5 seconds quicker 60 to 80mph and...
Someone likely did this already but whatever.
Hybrid is 0.5 seconds quicker 60 to 80 and 0.2 seconds quicker 40-70 mph which leads to the 45-65 mph 0.1 second that MT stated.
Who would have thought the hybrid would win a 40 mph roll race to 90 mph by 0.4 seconds.
That said, EB's don't roll...
Their points are valid. Ford wants to move to mostly custom orders and less stock orders. They currently show they have no ability to handle that. Ford has also shown they do not care about when an order is placed and are randomly choosing which orders to build and which to leave unscheduled.
Hi. Prius owner here.
You have to drive long enough to make up for the engine starting or your MPGs will be low. The engine is always going to start at some point.
Also don't sweat your MPGs for extremely short trips like this. If this is the type of commute you always do then who cares what...
Currently 24 trucks have logged at least 3 fill ups.
Looking at the chart can you tell which one is the hybrid. 😆

Average time on lot - 4 days with Dealer Markups
Just imagine if there where NO dealer markups. Average time would be 1 day or less.
At the same time this is proof that dealer marks up make sense for the market the Mav is in. Ford can't even imagine keeping up with the demand.
Nothing. I was not vehicle shopping when I learned about the hybrid Mav and if it didn't exist I wouldn't be buying anything for at least 2-3 more years.
