Despite the fact that it rides on a familiar platform (the MEB from the Volkswagen Group), is a fairly conventional shape and is aimed right at the heart of Europe’s busiest car segment, the new Ford Explorer EV is about as revolutionary as any car revealed so far this decade.
Not necessarily in terms of its technological make-up or its functionality targets (both being largely in line with what has come to be expected of cars of its type) but because it marks the start of a ground-up overhaul for a large, historic and much-loved car maker.
