Yes at times.
If you're asking whether it has a battery-only range, the answer is no. It is only a traditional hybrid, the electric and gas engines are always working together. The gas engine is not supplementary.

Untrue, it has a battery only range, but it is a limp home type system which is not user level implementable. One of the Ford hybrid systems briefly mentions it, along with the fact that at startup most vehicles will be in battery only mode.

What he said. Very rarely do I see the Gas Engine not driving the vehicle. Mainly when braking or going down hill. The Gas Engine is still on and believe me takes over as soon as you touch the gas pedal or start a hill climb. Ocala is very hilly and MPG is typically on the decline whenever I go there to shop. But as he said, you CANNOT operate on Electric only.

Is this your experience with other Ford hybrids or just hybrids in general?
Our Tucson behaves very differently than my old CRZ did.
The Tucson can drive extended periods in EV mode, lightly accelerate and can climb hills.
The CRZ also only achieved 33mpg while the much larger Tucson regularly sees 40+ in town.

My HCH2 had no battery only mode and a CVT not an ecvt I am basing my response on the Ford produced explanation of the Maverick eCVT on the Ford Maverick playlist via YouTube which specifically says it has a range but cannot be user enableabled and that at startup it is in battery only mode.

We might have to read through the Escape forum to see what they’re experiencing.
On the Tucson I can just lift off the throttle for a second to kick the EV on and continue driving all electric until the battery is below 50% or I need more go juice. I live on top of a 200’ hill. If I take the 1 mile loop up I can make it in EV mode, but if I take the .5mile (steeper) loop I can’t.
In the CRZ, I had the 6speed, I didn’t have any control and the two motors worked together without user control.

Sorry.. i maybe asked the question wrong. Thought i seen you can operate on battery only. Like 37 miles. Engine not running. All new to me. Quite different then my F150.
Q: Does the Maverick hybrid have an "EV mode" button like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid?
A: No, it does not.
Edited to add: Original poster asked about 37 miles of EV range... I think my RAV4 Hybrid might go a mile or two - the RAV4 PRIME might go 37 miles on its much bigger battery.

Yes and no. Yes that sounds confusing but its pretty simple.
No, in the Mav hybrid there is no "EV only" mode/button that is user selectable.
Yes, in Ford's (and others) design, the drivetrain can and will operate/drive with electric motors only (ICE off) with electrons supplied by the battery in many low-power scenarios.
Having an "EV only" mode is handy but is typically reserved for plug-in vehicles that have a more robust and capable EV system.
Finally, remember this: in a (non plug-in) hybrid, ALL energy comes from gasoline.
FWIW
A 37 mile range would be a plug in hybrid, a standard hybrid does not have the battery capacity to do that.

The Escape PHEV has this option, but the Maverick doesn’t at this time.
