Ford neglected to share the maximum range of its newest all-electric Explorer when it announced the Europe-only EV last year<\/a>. We\u2019ve gotten those details today, however, in an announcement<\/a> Ford made detailing specs and availability. It came alongside word that it\u2019s set a new world record with renowned traveler Lexie Alford as the first to circumnavigate the globe with an electric vehicle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Explorer EV\u2019s 375-mile range (602km) is above average for the American automaker and impressive for an SUV in general, even if it\u2019s calculated using the EU\u2019s more forgiving WLTP formula for testing and calculating total range. For comparison\u2019s sake, the company\u2019s all-electric F-150 Lightning tops out around 265 miles under the same testing standard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ford says you can charge the Explorer EV from 10 percent to 80 percent in as little as 26 minutes with up to 185kW DC fast charging for the all-wheel drive model. (There\u2019s also a rear-wheel drive configuration available.) You can check your charging progress on the bigger 14.6-inch center console that\u2019s debuting in the model, which uses Ford\u2019s latest Sync Move infotainment platform and is now vertically adjustable up to 30 degrees. (No word on when the electric Explorer will get Ford\u2019s new Digital Experience, which is coming to the gas-powered Explorer for the US.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Those in Europe are looking at a starting price of just under \u20ac45,000 to drive one home, with reservations starting today. Ford has previously confirmed that it\u2019s working on a version of the Explorer EV for the United States<\/a> that\u2019s set to launch later this year, but we can\u2019t yet assume it\u2019s capable of going the same distance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
