Introducing the new all-electric Ford Explorer

2023-03-21 / Robert Vinet

This is what happens when Ford takes one of their iconic American SUV brands and reimagines it for the electric age.

This morning Ford Europe introduced the new Ford Explorer.

The all-electric Ford Explorer is a five-seat SUV that combines German engineering with American style.

Assembled at the Ford Cologne EV Centre in Germany, the Ford claims drivers will be able to charge their Explorer from 10 to 80 percent in an about 25 minutes, but they haven’t provided a driving range number, so that figure is more marketing that anything else at the moment.
