Your title says "electric", but the title of the link says "electrified". There is a difference between the two.
An "electric" vehicle runs solely on electric motors while "electrified" can simply have an electric motor somewhere in their drive train. Like the Jeep Wrangler's 2.0L that also uses an electric motor to move the vehicle from a stop for a short period of time(since this consumes the most fuel) and then switches to gas once it has momentum. Ford is more than likely going to have something similar on many of these 40 vehicles in this timeline, not pure electric vehicles.
Could be but I kinda get the impression they are talking about BEV's.
