I've been researching the extended warranty coverage and had the same questions.

PremiumCARE Plus EV

Failure of covered components due to defects in materials and workmanship and normal wear and tear are included. Covers routine inspections and all scheduled maintenance, plus replacement of selected wear items, including shock absorbers/struts, coolant hoses and clamps, brake pads and linings, and wiper blades.

PremiumCARE EV

Failure of covered components due to defects in materials and workmanship and normal wear and tear are included. With Ford Protect PremiumCARE EV, it’s covered.

But it's the fine print that confuses me. Download the brochures for PremiumCARE Plus EV and PremiumCARE EV then read the fine print at the bottom what is not covered. Both of the blocks Repairs Related to Your Maintenance Requirements are identical.

PremiumCARE Plus EV
Repairs Related to Your Maintenance Requirements – Items listed in your vehicle’s owner guide. Examples include: batteries of all types and cables, belts, hoses, hose clamps, brakes (front hub, drums, shoes, linings, disc rotors, pads), manual transmission clutch disc, exhaust system (includes catalytic converter), spark plugs, squeaks, rattles, tires, wheel balancing, wheel alignment, all lamps and lights (LED and HID lights, bulbs, sealed beam and lenses) except when purchased with New or Incomplete PremiumCARE Interior/Exterior Lighting Option, fogging of lamp assemblies, shock absorbers, service adjustments and cleaning, and scheduled maintenance services

Granted some items do not apply (manual transmission, catalytic converter, clutch disc) and appear to be copy and paste from gas/diesel coverage but it is causing confusion what is actually covered and the difference between the two products.

To throw another wrench in the works, I haven't found the PremiumCARE Interior/Exterior Lighting Option.

Yes, so the Granger for Prem. Care plus does not cover EV's (apparently?)
