I’m considering ordering a Ford Explorer EV but wanted to check—does anyone know how long the delivery wait is? I’m not keen on waiting 6+ months. Any insights?
I got a call from Ford offering a test drive in the next couple of months, so deliveries should be happening soon. But whether all the slots are taken is another question.
Have you tried asking a Ford dealer?
@Zorion
Thanks! I’ll check with a dealer and see if I can grab a test drive myself.
@Zorion
It’s really nice to drive—smooth and packed with tech. You’ll enjoy it!
I placed my order last Saturday, and they told me the lead time would be no more than 16 weeks.

That’s great news, thanks for sharing!
I ordered mine today: Magnetic Grey AWD Premium with tech pack, pump, and tow bar. Our local dealer is getting their AWD demo model mid-August. I’m curious to see what the lights, puddle lamps, and indicators look like.

Nice choice! I went with Black Select and the Driver Assist Pack. Can’t wait to get mine!
I ordered a Black Select at the start of June, and they initially said delivery would be July 27th. They’ve pushed it back several times, and now it’s set for November 30th. The communication has been terrible—they didn’t even tell me about the July delay until a week before.

I’m waiting on a delivery date for my Black Select too! The lease company told me black should be the fastest option. Fingers crossed for both of us. Hope yours arrives on the 30th!

Thanks! But now they’ve moved it to January 5th, 2025. Let’s hope yours stays on track.

I ordered mine in June, and it’s supposed to arrive this week in Ireland. I know they’ve been in the UK for about 3-4 weeks already. Check out my Facebook group, ‘Ford Explorer EV Europe.’ You might find others in a similar situation there!
@Jalen
Has your car arrived yet?
Yes, it arrived last Friday! It was in for its PDI over the weekend. It’s ready now, but I haven’t had time to pick it up. Should have it for the weekend though!
@Jalen
How’s it been now that you’ve had it for a few weeks?

It’s fantastic! I’ve already put 2,500km on it. It’s quiet, smooth, and no rattles or squeaks. The interior is top-notch with very comfy seats.
It’s got enough power for its size, and overall, I’m really enjoying it. The app could use some improvements—it’s pretty basic right now, but I’ve heard FordPass might get an update soon. Fingers crossed for that.
All in all, I’m super happy with it!
@Jalen
That’s great to hear! I’ve got a 48-hour test drive booked for this weekend. Can’t wait to try it out!
