When you hear the name "Explorer," chances are you think of long road trips, rugged trails, or your daily school run. Now, imagine all of that—but electric. Ford has officially rolled out the 2025 Explorer EV, and it’s not just a quiet version of its gas sibling. It’s smarter, sleeker, and designed for a whole new kind of driver.
Built for the Next Chapter of Driving
Under the hood—or rather, beneath the floor—sits a dual-motor setup that produces 335 horsepower, giving this SUV a surprising amount of punch. It goes from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.3 seconds, which means it’s no slouch when merging onto the highway. And with a range of up to 374 miles, range anxiety might just become a thing of the past.
Tech That Doesn’t Feel Like Overkill
Inside, Ford's focus is clear: tech without overwhelm. The 14.6-inch touchscreen dominates the dashboard, but it’s intuitive, responsive, and doesn’t feel like a distraction. It runs Ford’s new Digital Experience—a fresh take on infotainment powered by Android and fully integrated with Google Maps and Assistant. Whether you're planning a road trip or just finding the closest charging station, it’s all baked right in.
You’ll also find smart touches like vegan leather seats, a giant 15-liter center console for your gear, and enough USB ports to keep the whole family powered up.
But Can It Replace the Gas Version?
That’s the million-dollar question. The gas-powered Explorer has been around for decades and still offers a lot: familiarity, towing muscle, and fewer concerns about charging on long trips. But the EV version fights back with instant torque, zero emissions, and a much quieter, smoother drive.
Plus, with cities tightening their emissions rules and gas prices doing what they do best (go up), the electric Explorer might actually be the smarter long-term bet
Conclusion
The 2025 Explorer EV isn’t just a new trim or a flashy experiment—it’s a legitimate evolution of Ford’s best-selling SUV. If you’ve been waiting for an electric vehicle that doesn’t feel like a compromise, this might be it. It won’t suit everyone—at least not yet—but it’s a serious sign that the electric future is already here..
