As a former battery engineer
As a former battery engineer for many years I am surprised at Fords disregard or abandonment of the PHEV option. What is one to do once they arrive home from work with a 60% State of Charge (SOC) remaining in the battery. Where are the electrons going to come from to restore it by morning to near 100% SOC?
The magic black box does obey the laws of thermodynamics!
Early Toyota hybrid electric economy cars owners were furious when they did away with PHEV models. So much so that the craftsmen among them designed and installed their own aftermarket home built. Around here companies offered free recharging stations so they could drive home using less CO2 emitting petrochemicals. I would hate to imagine that Ford gave up on the F-150 PHEV because they couldn't assemble the talent to do the work or explain the benefits to marketing.
