Charging the Ford Explorer EV: charge time and range
Charge time, realistic range and what you need to know when charging a Ford Explorer EV in public across Europe.
On a powerful fast charger the Ford Explorer EV charges from 10 to 80 percent in about 22 minutes, adding roughly 307 km. The last 20 percent charges deliberately slowly, so on a trip it pays to stop at 80.
With a usable battery of 79 kWh and motorway-ish consumption around 180 Wh/km, the Ford Explorer EV realistically covers about 439 km on a charge. At 130 km/h, in the cold or with a roof box the figure drops, so plan for about 80 percent of it on the motorway.
The Ford Explorer EV uses CCS (Combo 2) for fast charging and Type 2 for ordinary AC, like virtually every new EV in Europe. So it fits the vast majority of public chargers without adapters.
