Its Ranger PHEV, not Ranger EV.

I don't see the 45km EV range being an issue, its still going to be way more powerful and torquey compared to the diesel options in the Ranger, with the benefit of using a cheaper fuel, and cheaper to maintain while being more fuel efficient in stop/start traffic. This is where hybrids win out massively.

The PHEV part is just the icing on the cake, thats the way you view this - seems people are looking at the 45KM EV-only range and overlooking all the other benefits.

That engine makes 200KW+ in the Mustang WITHOUT its hybrid functionality.

Good answer , I was thinking with my Scottish ancestry in how we run ours
