Ford F-150 hybrid version does not provide EV mode, endurance becomes a bottleneck

Recently, overseas media reported that Ford CTO (Chief Technology Officer) said that the F-150 hybrid version will not provide EV (which can be understood as pure electric driving) mode. At the same time, the car will also use a generator with a power generation voltage of 110V to charge the battery.

Hybrid vehicles usually have a pure electric driving mode, but the F-150 does not have this mode. Ford officials believe that for a heavy full-size pickup truck, pure electric driving is difficult to provide sufficient range, and at the same time, excessive loads will also have a certain negative impact on the reliability of the battery and motor. In addition, the vehicle will also use a generator with a power generation voltage of 110V to charge the battery.
