No, the actually have a truck called the Maverick. Based on the Escape chassis, and drivetrain. There is an electric version, but as far as I know, it’s a hybrid with a gas motor to help get you there. I could be wrong.
Were it me buying the Maverick, I’d opt for the ordinary 2.0 L turbo 4, as it’s the highest horsepower of all the offerings and it’s a proven engine.
“There is an electric version, but as far as I know, it’s a hybrid with a gas motor to help get you there.”
On a hybrid you run on the ICE engine. The electric motor only helps the efficiency of the engine. For example, when going up a hill the electric motor will kick in and then recharge going back down. The Mavericks battery is only 1.1 kwhr. A typical EV can be 80 or more kwhr.
A plug-in EV has a middle ground battery allowing a range of 30-40 miles before needing the ICE engine.

The hybrid can come with that same engine but as I just read not in 4WD.
