The Ford Explorer EV is a battery electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) produced by Ford through its European operations. Produced in the Cologne Body & Assembly in Germany and marketed mainly in Europe, the vehicle is based on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform, and uses a Volkswagen-supplied powertrain. The vehicle shares its name and design inspiration with the larger SUV produced in the U.S., which is chosen by Ford "as a nod to our American heritage".
