Hints and Rumors About the Upcoming Ford Ranger EV

Ford has not officially confirmed a Ranger EV, but industry insiders and leaked reports suggest it’s on the roadmap. In early 2025, the Ford Ranger came out with a plug-in hybrid model, setting the stage for a fully electric version of this truck in the future. Many believe there will be a Ranger EV on the way soon.

Additional speculation comes from the brand’s global strategy. The automaker already sells the Ranger internationally, and with the rise in demand for compact EV trucks, an electric version seems like a logical next step. Reports indicate that this electric truck will likely arrive around 2027, possibly as a 2028 model-year vehicle. While the exact specs and release date are still under wraps, fans of midsize trucks and electrification have reason to be excited.

A Look Back at the Original Ford Ranger EV

Interestingly, this wouldn’t be the brand’s first crack at an electric Ranger. The original Ranger EV was introduced back in the late 1990s as part of a limited run aimed at meeting California’s zero-emission vehicle mandates. Built between 1998 and 2002, this early EV featured a lead-acid battery pack (later upgraded to nickel-metal hydride), rear-wheel drive, and a two-door regular cab.

While it was far from today’s EV standards, the original Ranger EV was an important first step for the brand’s electric development. It was only available as a lease in select markets and was primarily used by government fleets and environmentally-conscious organizations. Though rare today, the original Ranger EV remains a fascinating piece of electric vehicle history.
