In 2024, Ford should (finally!) market its Puma in a 100% electric version.
An electrified version of the current Puma, also with real Ford E-Transit Courier bits on board. We explain to you.
Ford Puma: the electric version is coming
At the beginning of last year, we mentioned the possibility at Ford of declining the Puma in a 100% electric version. Since then, the American manufacturer has launched a real electric offensive on the market, with its Mach-E of course, but also the E-Transit Courier or the new Explorer, an electric model made in Europe, for Europe.
Today, we learn that Ford would finally be ready to draw an electric version of its Puma. No new model in anticipation, but an electrified version of the current model.
136 hp, 55 kW battery and 100 kW fast charging?
Indeed, for this upcoming electric version, Ford will use its current Puma base, while revamping the vehicle with a “zero emission” sauce. Understand by this that this electric Puma will have a full grille, new rims… but also a new light signature. To this will of course be added the so-called “single-pedal” driving, common to many electric vehicles.
On the engine side, Ford should reuse the electrical block already released by the E-Transit Courier. Under the hood, we should therefore find a 136 hp electric block, associated (probably) with a 55 kW battery. This should allow this electric Ford Puma to offer a range of around 360 km.
Fast charging could go up to 100 kW, enough to recharge 80% of the battery in just over 30 minutes.
It will however be necessary to be patient to order this new electric Ford Puma, since the latter is not expected in concession before 2024.
Remember that Ford recently formalized its first electrified Puma ST, powered by a 1.0 L EcoBoost engine and optimized with 48-volt mild hybrid technology, for maximum power of 170 hp and torque of 248 Nm.
