In As EV Sales Stall, Plug-In Hybrids Get a Reboot , I describe the vanguard of this new hybrid boom: extended-range EVs like the 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger, which boasts a range of more than 1,000 kilometers. That resistance doesnt seem to extend to hybrids, however.
When Ford showed a front trunk, where a gasoline or diesel engine should be, this caught the interest of the attendees. 0 – 60 mph: 4.5 Driving Range: Pro, XLT, Lariat: 230 miles. ExtendedRange Battery. 0 – 60 mph: 5.0 Extended-Range Battery. Payload: 2,235 pounds. of torque.
In Utah the posted limit is 80 mph and for many drivers that was only a suggestion. We set the cruise control to 72 mph when on the freeway. A comparable SUV, such as a 2023 Ford Explorer AWD with the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and an EPA highway rating of 26 miles per gallon, would have used 69 gallons of gasoline.
This will be the perfect entry EV for people replacing their gasoline-powered SUV.

Thanks to nearly 1,000 lb-ft of torque, both models will also be able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in as quickly as 3.5 That’s because today, we learned that Scout hopes to stomp any customer woes about range anxiety (especially when towing) by offering a gasolinerangeextender option.
The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars.
Newer EVs have larger battery capacities, allowing for longer ranges and protecting against performance losses. Plug-in hybrids can mitigate cold weather concerns as they are also gas-powered for extendedrange. This may be an important feature for drivers in rural areas who routinely drive long distances.
