Ford Bronco goes EV and EREV in China - with lidar - MIIT July

The Ford Bronco is made in China by Jiangling (JMC) -Ford. Until now, it was an ICE-only car. But no more.

Soon, Ford will add two new versions to the Bronco line-up: an EV and an EREV.

The EV gets an AWD power train with a 130 kW motor at the front and a 202 kW motor at the rear. The top speed is 170 km/h. The LFP Blade battery is sourced from BYD Findreams. It has a 650-kilometer range.

The EREV gets a 110 kW 1.5 turbo liter range extender + two electric motors: 130 kW front and 180 kW rear. The LFP battery comes from BYD Findreams again. EV range is 220 km and combined range is 1220 km. The top speed is also 170 km/h.

The MIIT photos also show a new ADAS, with a lidar above the windscreen and sensors at the front fenders. The Ford Bronco EV and EREV will launch in China later this year.

This looks sick and I'm happy to see Ford expanding into China, hopefully we'll see a partnership not just with BYD bit maybe even with Huawei in the future.

As mentioned in the other forum, that's a Bronco Sport. When an actual Bronco EV is made, that would be interesting.

I got interested by the title, then saw from the picture that this is actually the Bronco Sport (a lifted Escape with a slightly more rugged suspension). I immediately lost interest. Of course, we don’t have to worry because this vehicle in this iteration will never hit American shores.

Love it!

Wish Ford here in the US would come out with these Bronco variants - I'd be the first in line.

Sadly, the story line should read something along the lines of "the whole world goes electric except for the dolts in the US"

finally! Its a shame the USA manufacturers are so late to the EREV platform .. these should have been built long before BEV's were even considered. High Horsepower electric motors, 1/3 battery size and generator for trips longer than 90 miles. No expensive DC charging needed, ever.

maybe... maybe not. But I think they are a stop-gap. lots of extra complexity and short EV range. BEV is the future. outside of the US, EVs are growing at double digit percentage. This is not because of range extenders.

I blame oil lobby for the way US is falling behind in the EV market.

They are certainly a part of it. Unfortunately, I think there are also cultural issues in the US that are magnifying opposition to EVs.

Oh, I can think of lots of other words to use - I was trying to be nice ?

Yes and those issues are primarily driven by disinformation from the oil industry and magnified by a complicit media that relies on oil industry money.

Oh, I think there are parties that would be just as happy if we mandated all cars to run on so-called “clean coal”. Personally, I’m still waiting for the Ford Nucleon ?
