It'd be great to see them first to market here in this space.

Well they have specifically said every vehicle they sell will have either a hybrid or ev option available by 2025. And a full ev version by 2030. So it’s just a matter of time. Hybrid ranger has already been rumoured by motoring journos as soon as 2023. Maybe the success of f150 lightning (100,000 orders since reveal) will spur them to speed up a ranger lightning ev?
Transit has a full ev version on the way now, so maybe that could be a suitable drivetrain?
