Hybrid vs Ecoboost for my use?

[botb70]

I want to get and keep the Maverick for many years to come but not sure which engine? I drive an average of 10k per year and the hybrid numbers seem great(if valid?)but what will a replacement battery cost in 8-10 years vs the cost of gas for the ecoboost? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.

This is impossible to answer. Your assuming the battery would be the only cost. The eb is more expensive to work on. The ice in the hybrid is pretty basic.

pretty much asked the same question.

One goes faster, the other gets better mpg. You decide

Wait till I supercharge my hybrid!

It depends what your using it for. I needed a commuter car to drive an average 100 miles a day on highway and back roads, I don't tow anything, and I used to have an element, which was an actual toaster on wheels so I wasn't concerned about going fast or accelerating. If anything I need to slow down now because I get a little road rage...lol

Aka I got a hybrid

Your are assuming that the HV battery in a Hybrid WILL fail in 8-10 years.

When Will It Fail?

This is the most important question posed by hybrid owners and drivers considering a used hybrid. Unfortunately, answering it isn’t easy — largely because each case seems to be different. Some drivers experience failure at 70,000 miles, while others can make it to 200,000 miles without issue.

In our experience, hybrid batteries start to become a risk when they’re 10 to 15 years old and they’ve covered 120,000 to 150,000 miles. Yes, some owners will do a lot better than that. There are reports of batteries lasting well into the 200,000-mile range. But we wouldn’t suggest counting on those reports as the norm, especially if you’re considering a used hybrid and you’re on a budget.

Anyone have an estimate what Hybrid Batteries cost to replace in a vehicle?

Around $4K if you go through Ford. There is a vibrant used Hybrid Battery Market out there. By then batteries are going to advance and become cheaper.

No more than the turbo you'll be replacing before you even get the truck paid off. And with the money alone saved on gas, you'll have half the cost covered. In case you missed the memo, premium unleaded is now over $4 dollars a gallon and you will have to run that in the 2.0 engine. And despite what some may claim pre-plandemic prices are never coming back, from food to gas.

Note that word 'plandemic'. Perhaps the greatest money making scheme since organized religion, toll roads and marijuana legalization.

EB doesn't need Premium only if you want the full 250hp...It will run on Regular 87oct
I will be checking MPG on both gases to see if it's worth keeping premium in it..I don't plan to pull anything I just got the tow pkg for the gear ratio and trans cooler and bigger radiator for keeping the engine and tranny happy longer...

The hybrid battery is small compared to the old hybrids. 1.1 kwh compared to the 14.4 kwh in the old Escape. This replacement battery is selling for $2,000 +/- today. In 10 years, when the Maverick's battery is out of warranty I expect the price to be under $500. Look at this thread to understand the new battery.

Also remember that you pay an extra $1085 for the EcoBoost engine + sales tax on it (if your state has it) + if you finance then interest payments on it also.

Premium is not required. And I paid 2.52 for 87 yesterday morning. Premium in the 2.70’s.
