Electric Ford Explorer Will Do What No EV Has Ever Done Before To Prove Itself

The Ford Explorer EV, whichshares underpinnings with a Volkswagen, is a pre-production model and does not have special modifications. Although, a crew will be backing Alford for security, medical, and technical assistance.

Ford claims that charging the Explorer EV from 10 to 80 percent would take about 25 minutes only using a DC fast charger. While charging, Alford could grab a snack before getting back on the road for the world-record trip. She would have to make a stop for charging approximately every 300 miles at most based on the predicted range.

"This is an epic journey to prove what's possible in an electric vehicle, as we know range and charging are the two main concerns people have when thinking about making the switch to electric," said Martin Sander, general manager of Ford Model e Europe. "Lexie will be putting charging infrastructure to the ultimate test; if she can get around the world in an EV, then anyone can use one in Europe, every day."

"This is an epic adventure, but a tough one," said Lexie. "It will be tough on the Explorer and with the amount of time on the road alone, it will be tough on me and the support crew. Any adventure worth having should challenge you though, and I can't wait to explore the new places and meet incredible people to find out how they're trying to make their corners of the world better."

The all-new Ford Explorer EV will go on sale in Europe next summer. It isone of the seven electric cars蓝色的椭圆形公司将在202年发射4. Stateside consumers can still buy the ICE-powered Explorer, also available with a hybrid powertrain.
