Ford July 2023 Sales - Up 5.9% overallCan your PHEV keep the cabin cool or warm for extended period while parked and NOT plugged in? In other words, will it allow using battery capacity to power air conditioner or heat for hours at a time? Or overnight?
I don't have much use for a PHEV to meet my driving needs (not a good fit), but have been waiting a long time for a PHEV van that can use battery to power A/C and heat, and also Pro Power Onboard. When Farley mentioned new hybrids were on the way, and with unexpected capabilities by using batteries for other than driving, I was encouraged that maybe Ford would finally manufacture a plug-in hybrid Transit ideal for camping in remote locations off the grid.
The PHEV Transit Custom in Europe already has all the hardware in place, and would only need software to allow a camp mode if not already included. Tesla allows a camp mode and doesn't even have a way to recharge battery like a PHEV does. If not Transit Custom, maybe the full-size Transit with PHEV drivetrain will become a reality in September for North America.Sun, 06 Aug 2023 13:59:16 +0000
