NEW FORD EXPLORER GOES ELECTRIC - BETTER THAN THE MUSTANG MACH-E?

EV Channels Review

The Ford Explorer EV, a European-exclusive electric SUV, is presented as a distinct offering from the US model, built on Volkswagen's MEB platform. The design, inspired by the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E, features a bold yet approachable aesthetic with a focus on aerodynamics and a clean, minimalist side profile. Key highlights include a surprisingly spacious interior for its compact 4.46-meter length, a versatile "Mega Console" offering significant storage, and a unique, movable 15-inch portrait touchscreen. The reviewer notes the practical, upright rear design which maximizes boot space (450 liters) and the inclusion of a physical rear wiper, a rarity. While official range figures are pending, an estimated 300 miles (500km) is anticipated. Available with single or twin motor setups, the Explorer EV aims to blend American heritage with European usability, positioning itself as a compelling, family-friendly electric option.
