Ford Lineup, Including Super Duty, To Get EREV Variants: Report

Last June, Ford CEO Jim Farley stated that he believes extended-range EVs (EREVs) – are “a bigger part of the solution” to the problem of pure EV adoption, in general. This is because EREVs combine a large battery pack with a traditional gas engine that can double as a generator of sorts, adding power back to the battery pack while also proving a more attractive solution for those that want to embark on longer trips. Ford doesn’t currently have an EREV in its lineup, but that is apparently set to change, at least, according to a new report.

This news comes to us from Bloomberg, which reports that Farley left China during a recent trip “wowed by the technology” he saw. The report also cites a source that says Ford plans to offer EREV versions of several existing models, including the Ford Super Duty, along with a line of unnamed crossovers and SUVs – “its most popular and profitable vehicles” – though none of them are expected to arrive before 2027.

As Ford Authority previously reported, Ford filed a patent outlining an idea for an extended-range EV last November, so such a concept certainly isn’t far-fetched, especially with others in the works from some of its rivals. Ford also plans to add a hybrid variant of some sort to its entire ICE-focused Ford Blue lineup by 2030 or sooner, and that includes electrified versions of the Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, replacing a pair of canceled pure EVs.

That Ford Blue lineup doesn’t technically include the Super Duty, as it’s part of the commercial-focused Ford Pro lineup, but rumors of a hybrid version of the heavy-duty hauler have swirled for a long time now. In fact, as Ford Authority reported last July, the automaker is retooling the Oakville Assembly plant in Canada for production of the Super Duty starting in 2026. At that time, FoMoCo announced that ‘later in the decade, Oakville will begin producing the next-generation Super Duty, including an electrified version of the pickup. Oakville will be the sole initial source of multi-energy Super Duty production.”

    1. Diesel tailpipe emission regulations require DEF so eliminating that is not an option.

  7. Giving customers options for the Super Duty, whether it be ICE or EREV, sounds like the prudent thing to do.
