The Ford Explorer is an upcoming battery electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) produced by Ford through its European operations.[3] Produced in the Cologne Body & Assembly in Germany and marketed mainly in Europe, the vehicle is based on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform, and uses Volkswagen supplied batteries. The vehicle shares its name and design inspiration[4] with the larger SUV produced in the U.S., which is chosen by Ford "as a nod to our American heritage".[5][6]
The Explorer EV was planned to be available to order from September 2023, with the first units due to arrive by December of the same year.[7] In August 2023, Ford announced the Explorer EV launch will be pushed back to 2024, due to new battery regulations.[8]
