If Maverick was a PHEV

[commadorebob]

I honestly think a PHEV Maverick will be in the plans for the full model refresh in a few years. Non-Tesla EV growth is slowing down but HEV and PHEV sales are soaring.

I'll randomly get asked from people unfamiliar with it if my Maverick is a hybrid. So, it already has that reputation. I can see Ford building on that.

I wish Ford would make a PHEV like this truck, the BYD Shark.

Saw a TFL truck video today about it.

Not sold in US and appears no plans, but would love an American version of this.

Approx $47,000 USD, fully loaded, PHEV, 60 miles full electric range, approx 560 miles on a tank of gas. Approx 30kw battery pack. Tow 5,500 lbs.

But....the small engine powers a generator that constantly recharges the battery. So you get the best of full electric range (60 miles), then using gas for longer road trips and quick refills at a gas station.

Was really impressed with that engine/electric design.

Have a '22 Hybrid XL now, but I would definitely shop something like this.

Thoughts?

I'm pretty happy with my Mav as is.
