Hey Bronco fans. I work in a market research area at a fairly large electric utility. I have done some EV studies and am fairly well versed in the decisions that the OEMs are making.
Here are some thoughts:
Charging infrastructure is still a big barrier to consumer acceptance. Since the Bronco is built for the "wild", a hybrid option seems more likely than full EV in the near future. Ford will be closely watching Jeep's hybrid model.
The F150 Lightning EV (imho) is a prelude to large shifts in fleet sales to EVs. Publically held companies are being pushed by institutional investors to reduce their carbon footprints. Many state and local governments will do the same. I expect that we will start to see local police departments migrate to EV Explorers.
Bronco won't have a significant fleet sales %. It's a wonderfully impractical vehicle
The Hummer EV is really a limited production teaser to show off technology. I always thought the H2 was a big bloated joke (and I think the same of the new EV). The gem of the brand was the H3. Like the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the H3s will have a collectors market for years to come.
