Maverick Acronym Definitions

Original Post updated with latest suggestions. Thanks everyone!

I suggest, in keeping with the A51 format,

AB22=Alto Blue
AB23=Atlas Blue

Since the color didn't carry through both years.

If you are going to put four dollar signs next to the FX4 package you might as well add 4K tow package with four dollar signs to. It costs just as much as the FX4 package and adds just as many features.

I debated listing FX4 since it's not a package level like XL, XLT, Lariat.

BEV = Battery Electric Vehicle. An AEV that stores and draws current from batteries, as opposed to a FCEV.

What is FCEV?

What is FCEV?

FCEV == Fuel cell electric vehicle

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles

Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are powered by hydrogen. They are more efficient than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles and produce no tailpipe emissions—they only emit water vapor and warm air. FCEVs and the hydrogen infrastructure to fuel them are in the early stages of implementation. The U.S. Department of Energy leads research effortsto make hydrogen-powered vehicles an affordable, environmentally friendly, and safe transportation option. Hydrogen is considered an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and qualifies for alternative fuel vehicle tax credits.

What is a fuel cell electric vehicle?
FCEVs use a propulsion system similar to that of electric vehicles, where energy stored as hydrogen is converted to electricity by the fuel cell. Unlike conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, these vehicles produce no harmful tailpipe emissions. Other benefits include increasing U.S. energy resiliency through diversity and strengthening the economy.

FCEVs are fueled with pure hydrogen gas stored in a tank on the vehicle. Similar to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, they can fuel in less than 4 minutes and have a driving range over 300 miles. FCEVs are equipped with other advanced technologies to increase efficiency, such as regenerative braking systems that capture the energy lost during braking and store it in a battery. Major automobile manufacturers are offering a limited but growing number of production FCEVs to the public in certain markets, in sync with what the developing infrastructure can support.

How Fuel Cells Work

The most common type of fuel cell for vehicle applications is the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell. In a PEM fuel cell, an electrolyte membrane is sandwiched between a positive electrode (cathode) and a negative electrode (anode). Hydrogen is introduced to the anode, and oxygen (from air) is introduced to the cathode. The hydrogen molecules break apart into protons and electrons due to an electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell catalyst. Protons then travel through the membrane to the cathode.
The electrons are forced to travel through an external circuit to perform work (providing power to the electric car) then recombine with the protons on the cathode side where the protons, electrons, and oxygen molecules combine to form water. See the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) infographic(PDF) to learn more about the process.

Just thinking that if you use an acronym to define another acronym, you should include that acronym in the acronym list.

CEL = Check Engine Light

CEL = Check Engine Light

MIL == Malfunction Indicator Lamp/Light
(not to be confused with your Mother-in-Law)

Good catch. Updated!

CEL = Check Engine Light

If I see that in my Mav, I'll open the hood and say: "Yup, still there!" Not much is familiar under the hood anymore

Good advice! Almost every reviewer will agree with you.
