An all-electric vehicle (EV) requires less maintenance as there are fewer moving parts, for example the oil does not need changing at regular intervals. This means customers have the potential to benefit from lower maintenance costs than a vehicle with an internal combustion engine (ICE). It's nice to know your Ford Explorer® is covered with a 2 year service interval and unlimited kilometres. 

The new all electric Ford Explorer is a 5 seat mid sized vehicle with a length of 4,47m and has up to 450L* of boot space. It is slightly shorter than the Ford Kuga, but has a longer wheelbase and provides enough interior space for you and your crew.

RWD and AWD variants are available. 

The new, all-electric Ford Explorer offers the following exterior colours:

• Arctic Blue
• Frozen White
• Magnetic Grey
• Agate Black
• Rapid Red 
• Blue my Mind

The New All-Electric Explorer offers customers a bold exterior design and an innovative, practical interior.

Advanced lighting technology is just one example of the striking exterior design:

• LED Signature Daytime Running, combined with LED indicator lights, which turn on automatically when the vehicle is started.
• Glare-Free High Beams adjust the light beam pattern to minimise glare and ensure surrounding illumination is maximised (standard with Premium series).
• Welcome and Farewell Lighting function includes LED lights on door handles and exterior mirror logo lamps.

The vehicle will operate similarly to an automatic. There is no need for a clutch pedal, so urban driving in particular, is made easier.
One of the key benefits of all-electric power is the simplified transmission. It has a single speed transmission, making the driving experience convenient and ensuring the vehicle is easy to maintain.

The all-electric Ford Explorer will deliver instant torque and impressive acceleration of 0-62 mp/h time** 5.3 s (Extended Range, AWD) 

The maximum speed is up to 112 mp/h depending on the powertrain choice.

MegaConsole is a 17 litre compartment under the armrest which offers space to store a 15” laptop, plus large 1.5 litre water bottles, with a divider to configure the space according to customer preference. The centre console includes a media bin with two USB-C ports for the front and two for the rear, as well as wireless charging for a smartphone.

It is 14.6'' offered as standard on every Ford Explorer and one of the largest screens currently available in the all-electric passenger vehicle market. SYNC® Move features Ford's latest infotainment system and the touchscreen can be adjusted from a vertical position to a lower position and in between to suit each customer’s preference, including the ability to move the screen out of direct sunlight.

The roof load for the new all-electric Explorer is up to 75kg.

The towing capacity of the new all-electric Ford Explorer is up to 1000kg for the RWD and 1200kg for the AWD (braked, 12% grade).***

A heat pump serves as an efficient way to heat the cabin and a heat pump is available as a single option on Explorer and Explorer Premium. It works in reverse to a traditional AC system, by drawing ambient energy (heat) from around the vehicle and condensing it for use within the vehicle. Heat pumps are of greater use in colder climates.
It works in a similar way to an air-conditioning system and can cool and heat cool the cabin, using less energy from the battery and preserving more range for driving.

The new Explorer offers sporty, premium and comfortable interior seats with an integrated head-rest and a squircle steering wheel for optimised knee comfort.

The interior colour and material create an inviting atmosphere with a contemporary and premium appearance.

The new all-electric Ford Explorer offers existing Ford technologies**, including:

• Blind Spot Detection w/ Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) w/ Active Braking and Exit Warning
  • Blind spot detection uses radar sensors to detect when a vehicle enters a blind spot on either side of the vehicle.
• Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)
  • Uses sensors to improve safety when reversing out of a parking space, where vision may be restricted by vehicles or obstacles parked on either side.
• Exit Warning
  • Provides visual and audible alerts to road users and vehicle occupants when it detects that the opening of the door of a parked car might cause a collision, keeping customers and other road users safe.
• Driver Alert System
  • Based on steering behaviour, the system alerts the driver if it identifies irregular patterns of behaviour, reminding them to take a rest.
• Traffic Sign Recognition
  • Monitors oncoming traffic signs using a forward facing camera and displays them clearly to drivers.
• Wrong Way Alert
  • Uses a front-facing camera, navigation data and Ford’s Traffic Sign Recognition technology to recognise when a driver is mistakenly entering the exit slip road of a dual carriageway or motorway.
• Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (iACC)[‡]
  • Once activated, iACC automatically adopts the speed limits recognised by the front view camera or provided by navigation data and maintains a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front, bringing the vehicle to a stop if necessary. Once the traffic clears, the system accelerates back to the set speed.
  • Pre-collision assist detects vehicles, motorcycles or pedestrians on the road ahead and those that might cross in front of the vehicle. In critical situations the driver will be warned by audible and visual warnings and, if the driver does not react, the system will automatically apply the brakes.
  • Emergency Steer Assist (ESA) is a system that helps the driver steer sufficiently while keeping the vehicle stable to get around a hazard.
• Lane Keeping Aid detects painted lane markers as well as road edges on the road to help prevent the vehicle from drifting out of lane. It can gently steer the driver back on track, keeping them safe. The Lane departure warning issues an alert that warns the driver by vibrating the steering if they steer out of lane. 
• Post-Collision Braking
  • Automatically recognises when the vehicle has been involved in a collision and keeps the brakes applied after the accident to ensure it does not roll into further danger.
• Rear View Camera
  • Makes it easy to see what’s behind the vehicle while reversing, making manoeuvres easier, safer and less stressful.
• Front and Rear Parking Aid with Brake Assistance
  • Helps to make parking in a busy environment or a tight space easier, and can also apply the brakes when the system detects an object in the vehicle’s path.

Driving technologies (3) available on both Select and Premium

• 360-Degree Camera: Cameras at the front, sides and rear of the vehicle are combined to enable a variety of real-time views, making parking and manoeuvring easier for customers.
• Hands-free Power-operated Tailgate: (Self series only, standard on Premium) Easy to operate and convenient. 
• Active Park Assist (w/ 12 ultrasonic sensors): Controls the brakes, power and direction when undertaking perpendicular and parallel parking.
• New Lane Centering w/ Lane Change Assist combines the following technologies:
  • Lane Centering: An extension of the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (iACC) system. This provides continuous steering support and guides the vehicle through automated steering inputs to keep the vehicle centred in its lane.
  • Lane Change Assist: The system is designed to assist the driver in changing lanes on motorways. The system provides actual steering assistance when the driver wishes to change the lane. It can be activated by tip on the turn indicator and monitors traffic approaching from behind before starting the lane change.
