The government fleet is too massive and many of the vehicles too new to afford to push that through, plus if they were to push EVs instead of hybrids, the infrastructure simply isn't there throughout the US. The costs would be astronomical, so I think that was just a talking point and not a realistic suggestion they will truly pursue. I could certainly see them purchasing hybrid Maverick's though with a phased in approach on new purchases only rather than replacing vehicles that may only be a few years old.Biden was promising to go EV on the entire Federal gov't fleet, and some of the Green New Deal people pushing the massive infrastructure spending programs will be only too happy to hold him to that and provide the funding for it.
If they made a SUV version of the Maverick in hybrid and called it the next generation Ford Flex, I could see perhaps even cops using them.
