Ford Explorer EV
The Ford Explorer is an upcoming battery electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) produced by Ford through its European operations. 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 with the larger SUV produced in the U.S., which is chosen by Ford "as a nod to our American heritage".
