Ford’s third-ever all-electric vehicle is a Europe-only crossover SUV with one of the automaker’s most popular nameplates. The Explorer EV will also be the first in a wave of new plug-in vehicles for the automaker’s overseas lineup, as it works towardThe Explorer EV may carry a familiar nameplate, but it will be built on top of an unfamiliar platform — for Ford, at least. The automaker is, which will be built at Ford’s factory in Cologne, Germany.
Ford said it won’t release the vehicle’s range until it’s closer to production, but it did reveal details about its pricing. The Explorer EV will be available in two trims — Explorer and Explorer Premium — with starting pricing “less than €45,000” . Reservations are open now through Ford’s European website.
The most noticeable feature in the new electric Explorer is a moveable 15-inch center touchscreen that the company says should be better for dealing with outside glare. The screen, which can move up and down, also conceals a built-in lockable storage space for valuables. Here’s a GIF of the movable screen:
The Ford Explorer EV is significant because it’s only the third all-electric vehicle to be announced by the iconic American automaker. The company’s current EV lineup includes the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, which have propelled Ford to its status as the No. 2 seller of electric vehicles in the US. Still, the company has a ways to go if it wants to catch up to the No. 1 seller, Tesla, and the European market will play a big role in that.

I think Ford can do better about the design, but it's not bad
“Ford’s third-ever all-electric vehicle”. Ignoring the electric Focus and its ilk, the Euro Explorer is Ford’s 4th BEV. Mach-E, Lightning, E- Transit are all in production.
Ford is missing out big time by not bringing it to the states. Even if they call it the Explorer Sport so it will fit in the lineup when they announce a larger one for the US market.
Thank goodness. EV's are trash anyway.
Just Europe? 😫 This is the exact type of vehicle that kills it in the US.
this would do well here no idea why they didn’t prioritize the US market
