"The entry-level Explorer EV Standard Range is now powered by an LFP battery pack that's larger and enables a longer driving range than the outgoing model's nickel manganese oxide (NMC) pack. With a 58-kilowatt-hour capacity, the base LFP battery enables a WLTP-rated range of up to 276 miles (444 kilometers), a 37-mile (60 km) increase over the previous 52 kWh NMC battery."
"The rear electric motor of the Standard Range trim has also been updated. It now makes 187 horsepower, up from the previous model's 165 hp, and 258 pound-feet (350 Newton-meters) of torque. As a result, the base electric crossover can now accelerate from zero to 62 miles per hour in eight seconds."
"Charging-wise, the new LFP battery can accept up to 105 kilowatts from a DC fast charger, making for a 10-to-80% top-up in 26 minutes. By comparison, the larger 77- and 79-kWh NMC batteries available on the more expensive Explorer EV trims can be charged at 185 kW and 183 kW, respectively."
The Ford Explorer EV sold in Europe receives significant upgrades including a new lithium-iron phosphate battery pack, increased electric motor power, and enhanced charging capabilities. The entry-level Standard Range model now uses a 58 kWh LFP battery providing 276 miles of WLTP-rated range, a 37-mile improvement over the previous nickel manganese oxide battery. The rear electric motor increases from 165 to 187 horsepower with 258 pound-feet of torque, enabling zero-to-62 mph acceleration in eight seconds. The LFP battery accepts up to 105 kilowatts from DC fast chargers, achieving 10-to-80% charge in 26 minutes. Vehicle-to-load bidirectional charging and a new Android-based infotainment system are now standard features.
