Ford Announces Electric Explorer Will Only Be For Europe, But That’s OK
22 seconds ago
“Explorer is a trailblazer for a new breed of exciting Ford electric vehicles. Steeped in our American roots but built in Cologne for our customers in Europe, it is road trip-ready for the big adventures and fully loaded with everything our customers will need for their daily drives,” said Martin Sander, general manager, Ford Model e, Europe.
While all of these details are nice, Ford didn’t give us anything about the drivetrain or battery pack to run with, other than that it’s available as rear-drive or all-wheel-drive . But, poking around the website, I couldn’t find any real details on the nuts and bolts. About all I can confidently say is that the vehicle will probably be similar to an ID.4 or Tesla in driving experience because it’s rear- or all-wheel-drive. Beyond that, it’s all guesses and speculation.
With all of that information, it’s pretty clear that the vehicle is a unibody-skateboard crossover comparable to what VW is offering in the States . For people doing highway driving and relatively light towing duty, it should be a decent vehicle.Based on what we had to get from unofficial sources, I don’t think the vehicle is suitable for the United States, at least not as an Explorer.
