My Raptor drops to around 8 mpg when towing 8000 lbs or so. That gives me about a 250 mile range. My Raptor has the 6.2L V8 with a Roush supercharger and 37" tires. If I could go 350 miles with an EREV, that would be great.
Hybrids have a mix of at least two power sources that can drive the wheels. EVs have only electric motors driving the wheels. EREVs have only electric motors powering the wheels. The generator supplies electricity based on state of battery. These definitions are why Chevy got in trouble trying pass off the volt as an EREV when the gas engine sometimes powered the wheels.
Yea, same here. Ideally Ford will offer both EREV and pure BEV versions of F-150 Lightning. For a lot of Lightning customers including me, a gasoline powered on board "generator" in the upcoming EREV version is extra stuff we don't need.
Here's an attempt to clarify the difference between EREV and HEV. Clear as mud? 😄
