Engine RPM at 70 mph for Hybrid

[FredsMaverick]

Thank you all for the information. It looks like since the final drive ratio went up the engine revs 200 rpm higher. I am ok with that given the increased acceleration.

Most of the engine sound is artificially generated, so you can't go by that either.

It is not.
LOL!


There is only artificial noise when the engine is off. Kind of like a air conditioner hum. Hard to describe.

Or any compatible OBDII dongle and some software for a phone. The ScanGauge is a bit pricey though it's a nice tool.


It certainly does have gears in it, how do you think the power gets moved around between the ICE, two electric motor-generators, and differential in there? My post above was about how the gearing in the hybrid has no fixed input-to-output ratios. Have a look:

That was painful watching him miss that last bolt, and have obvious issues due to it.

From another thread on how-it-works new video.
https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/how-the-ecvt-in-the-hybrid-works.83232/post-1377209

Comments in another Weber video sounded good for here.


From the video - so depending on how close the Ford 2.5 is to the Toyota 2.5.
I'd imagine not too far off.
I looked for this BTE chart awhile back for Ford's engine - perhaps it exists now or I just didn't search well.

140 - 180 - 190 Nm = 103 - 133 - 140 lb-ft torque

RPM 1700 - 2500 - 3200

HP 33 - 63 - 85

kW 25 - 50 - 65

what App is that?

my 26 Lariat AWD Hybrid showed ~2300 RPM at 75 mph. It varies depending on load (uphill/downhill).
Scangauge II in my truck.

Car Scanner and I paid the tiny fee for the pro version on Google play store. I'm using an OBDII Bluetooth interface that works with this app and Forscan on my laptop, VLinker MC. I also had good results from a VLinker FC. The generic USB cable interface became obsolete with Win 11 and didn't have smartphone capability.

Sorry that I put my EB nose here, is not that high ? My 2022 EB fwd ride at 70 and may be 80mph at 1500-1800ish rpm, I was under the premise that the whole thing of the hybrid trans was keeping the engine in a optimal rpm range to same more fuel.

Then why is so high the rpms ?

Can someone please explain it in a simple way ?

At 80mph, the electric motor isn't adding any more power to the output.

That's why hybrid is more efficient in city instead of highway. Much more efficient.

Make some sense, but if your driving steady at 70mph you don't need lots of power, so according to my (very small) logic the rpm should still be lower, I know the electric power is there to assist en ice engine but I was specting for 2.5 to powerful enough to keep you there steady at 70.

Please if I'm wrong don't hesitate to call me out, I really wanna learn as much as possible because I myself want to switch to a hybrid or even in the future so every bit of info or knowledge that anyone can share would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

See above..
Car Scanner is an App that you can find in your phone’s App Store. It’s meant to work with an ELM327 compatible OBD2 Bluetooth scanner dongle.

It feels like it settles at the lower end of the 1500-2500 rpm range when you are cruising on a flat stretch of road. You are right the 2026 model revs slightly higher.

A quick google AI search says:-

At 70 mph, the 2024 and 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid engines generally settle between 1,500 and 2,500 RPMdepending on the load, road grade, and battery state of charge. Because of the electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT), the RPM is not fixed to a specific gear ratio and will constantly adjust to keep the engine in its most efficient operating range. [1, 2, 3, 5]
However, there are a few important details to consider for each model year:

• 2024 Model: Features a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle engine paired with an electric motor and an eCVT. On level ground, it typically settles in the lower range of 1,500 to 2,000 RPM, but will briefly ramp up higher to pass or climb hills.
• 2025 Model: Features an upgraded eCVT and a slightly revised final drive ratio to improve acceleration. Because of this updated gearing, owners have noted that the 2025 hybrid engine generally settles about 200 RPM higher at highway speeds than the 2024 model (typically around 1,700 to 2,200 RPM at 70 mph).

Because of the hybrid's design, the gas engine may also shut off entirely on flat stretches, momentarily dropping your RPM to zero while relying on the electric motor.

It can be.

Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
Depends on how deep your foot is on the go pedal.

I hope you know AI is not smart.
It is literally quoting what is posted on sites including MTC. Right or wrong, it's just quoting others without vetting the source(s).

Keep that in mind.

Since I post a lot, AI quotes me many times!

What is the rpm of the electric drive motor at 80mph?

 

[KirkyMav]

It’s smarter than me

Actually it does aggregate a bunch of info it scrapes from the internet so hopefully there is some accuracy. Also it gives the references so you can check where it got the data.
