Hints and Rumors About the Upcoming Ford Ranger EV<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ford has not officially confirmed a Ranger EV, but industry insiders and leaked reports suggest it\u2019s 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.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Look Back at the Original Ford Ranger EV<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, this wouldn\u2019t be the brand\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it was far from today\u2019s 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.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
