Summary

The Ford Explorer Standard Range RWD (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, sold new in 2026, when it cost £33,685 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.0 seconds, slower than 72% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 208 miles (335 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 26% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 192nd of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (173 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 58 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 95 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 216 miles (347 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Second-hand, a 2026 example is estimated at £19,200–£21,900, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2026 car should still manage about 208 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
