I have a question for the hybrid “tech” experts out there. I have been trying to find more detailed, under the hood photos of the 2.5L engine. While I was perusing the Maverick Owner’s manual I could only find the illustration for the drive belt diagram for a 2.0L EB, (page 310). There are no references to a drive belt on a 2.5L Hybrid engine.
So I looked up the 2021 2.5L hybrid Escape but found no reference to the hybrid engine drive belt there either. The only illustration I could find was the 1.5L and 2.0L engines (page 345).

So I looked up the 2.0L hybrid engine in a Fusion hybrid. There were no engine drive belt illustrations or references for a hybrid engine. My question is, is there a drive belt on the 2.5L hybrid engine? The reasoning behind this inquiry is does the engine use an alternator to recharge the chassis battery under the rear seat? Does the starter motor used to start the ICE (2.5L) also recharge the chassis battery? From what I have read, the traction motor does the recharging of the hybrid battery during braking regeneration.
Let the discussions begin.
