The new electric Ford Explorer ?? available for sale in Romania

The Explorer range is opened by a single-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) or dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) powertrain. Both use a nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) lithium-ion battery, chosen for its high energy density, but also for the performances offered in typical European climates, from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean Sea.
