Yep, there isn't much appetite for "full size" full BEV at these prices. Looks like they are still planning to bring the range extended version. Costs and complexity are a problem. That said it appears even the standard ICE sales are not strong either. We are in a pretty weird place with the economy.Stellantis/Ram and has finally seen the light. Canceling the Ram 1500 REV fully electric EV.

Yep agreed! I can’t wait oh and I have solar!!!!! lol sign me up!I for one will be ordering one on the first day the order banks open.
I guess that like the Maverick there will be XL, XLT, Lariat versions (or whatever they will call them) and I usually don't order the barebones but one step higher.
So just guessing the MSRP price for the one level above the base will be $34,000 plus destination charge which will bring the price to around $36,000 before TT&L.
I have had a Maverick XLT Hybrid since December 2021.
MY2022: December 13, 2021 through August 28, 2023 when it was sold to Carvana.
MY2023: September 21, 2023 through present and will keep until one month before delivery of the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup when it too will be sold to Carvana or traded in whichever is the better value.
My Maverick has served it purpose just fine but I do not need it for any long trips as the wife's 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid handles that just fine. I love the adaptive cruise in the RAV4 vs the standard cruise on my Maverick.
In the 23 months I have owned the 2023 Maverick I only have 9300 miles on it and that included a 2800 mile vacation in 2024.
These are the points that I feel the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup will be better long term than my current Maverick Hybrid.
Lower maintenance costs
Also no trips to the gas station
Most of my trips average about 2 miles and the longest about 25 miles round trip and as seen above I average about 10 miles a day as we are both retired.
Only charging at home at night.
I also like the feature where it can provide power to our home in case of a blackout.
With the idiots running Texas they have done nothing to alleviate the 2021 blackout from happening again and have actually increased the odds with all the Bitcoin mining farms and AI Data centers.
The New Ford EV Midsize Pickup will serve all my needs: Hauling our eBikes (trailer hitch mounted carrier) and the occasional truck bed stuff for our lawn and garden needs.
LOVE THOSE U.S. PRICES!!!I for one will be ordering one on the first day the order banks open.

Did anybody ever calculate what they'd save between the ev and hybrid Maverick? Including purchase price? I'm getting about 48mpg in the Mav and the cost was mid $30s .Yep agreed! I can’t wait oh and I have solar!!!!! lol sign me up!
When they put the "Mr Fusion" in it I'll get in line. Right now the math is tilted towards my hybrid.The main thing holding me back from EV is I am not set up electrically to charge at home so I would have to rely on charging at work and paid charging. Did the math and it would take careful charging planning to not cost more per mile than my hybrid maverick. Best case EV might cost about 1.5 cents less per mile
if that math changes by 2027… maybe, depending on more information about the vehicle that has yet to be released. I am certainly looking forward to seeing it at least though
There has been some price comparisons done by a few websites,.BUT it will vary as cost of electricity varies especially if you charge away from home. Then insurance cost plus do you need to install 220 volt line for charger at home. Many factors . Plus resale value as most EV's have a HUGE loss of resale value. Plus how far you drive per year. So MANY factors.Did anybody ever calculate what they'd save between the ev and hybrid Maverick? Including purchase price? I'm getting about 48mpg in the Mav and the cost was mid $30s .
The report said Energy cost is 19 cents per mile. That means, X 27 mpg in my Ecoboost puts gas at $5.13 per gallon.Before you jump on the "power our home with our EV" bandwagon you need to price what it takes to install the system in your home.

That doesn't sound right to me. Using the numbers from the article I figure it like this:The report said Energy cost is 19 cents per mile..
Ok... I've figured this out. The writer of the report was using the cost for public fast chargers, not for home charging. That makes the electricity much more expensive.So... How did they come up with 19 cents per mile? Or am I figuring it wrong?
I ran my Bolt EV at 6 cents per mile for 60,000 miles.The report said Energy cost is 19 cents per mile. That means, X 27 mpg in my Ecoboost puts gas at $5.13 per gallon.
I’m paying $2.79 per gallon for regular and $3.65 per gallon for non ethanol in my Ecoboost.
That is 10.03 cents per mile!!!!
NOT 19 cents per mile !!!!
Knowing EV’s cost that much more than gasoline to drive shuts that idea down for me.
I think the EV people are friggin nuts !
Or brain washed.
I have a PHEV and love it, it is a Ford CMAX ENERGI. When i only go short trips it never uses gas. Today I drove it 52 miles and the car says it got 47.6mpg. It only goes 21 miles on pure electric then charges when the gas engine is running or going down hill or when you brake. I often make a 450 mile one way trip which takes 7.5 hours and it still breaks 40mpg. Ford did a stupid thing by stopping the manufacture of them. From what I've read here the Maverick can also get close to these numbers and it is not even a PHEV its just a plain old hybrid.Good point I would say plan for it with a couple of extra 5 gallons of non-ethanol gasoline. Then again, that only works if you're driving an ice or a plug-in hybrid with a range extending engine.
Little different. With my Volt I went almost 2 months 1,100 miles and never used any gas. Then I had to go to Salt lake City and got 40mpg.I have a PHEV and love it, it is a Ford CMAX ENERGI.
