Having launched an electric Mustang Mach-E SUV<\/a> and about to bring back the F-150 Lightning as an EV truck, it appears Ford has now set its sights on a zero-emissions Bronco. Company CEO Jim Farley was asked on Twitter<\/em> why the Blue Oval isn’t planning a version of the reputable off-roader without a combustion engine. His answer was quite surprising: \u201cWhy do you think we don\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n

To our knowledge, it’s the first time an all-electric Bronco is making the headlines, and the news is shared by none other than Ford’s head honcho. It’s too soon to say when the EV derivative will hit the market, but there’s a pretty good chance a plug-in hybrid version will be out first. The PHEV model is expected to premiere later this year for the 2022MY to rival the electrified versions of the Land Rover Defender and Jeep Wrangler<\/a>.<\/p>\n
