There are two entirely different cars called Ford Explorer, and only one of them plugs in. The electric Ford Explorer, built in Cologne from 2024 and sold across Europe, has an 11 kW onboard charger and a Type 2 inlet. The American Ford Explorer is a large petrol SUV with no charging socket anywhere on it. If you are on this page for a European electric Explorer, everything below applies. The surprise for most owners is the size: at 4.468 metres it is one of the shortest electric SUVs on sale, which makes cable length easier here than on almost any rival.
The electric Explorer takes a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable, with the flap on the offside rear quarter, behind the driver's door. Every UK version is fully electric, so there is no trim in the range without a socket.
Get the 32A single phase cable for home charging. The 11 kW figure is a three phase rating, and a British house is fed by a single phase carrying up to 7.4 kW, which is what the Explorer will draw on a domestic wallbox. Add the 32A three phase lead only if you have access to three genuine phases at a workplace or commercial unit, where an Extended Range car falls from 11 hours 45 minutes to 8 hours.
The 16A cable costs more than it saves here. On the Standard Range battery nine hours of charging turns into eighteen for the sake of thirteen pounds, and on Extended Range it goes past twenty three hours.
The 3-pin cable belongs in the boot, not on the driveway. Our Type 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable manages 2.3 kW from a 13 amp house socket, about 11 miles an hour, which is a long way from a full charge but enough to add eighty or ninety miles over a night away from home. Our guide explains what to expect from a household socket.
Its sister car under the skin is covered on the Ford Capri charging cable page, and the smaller electric Ford on the Ford Puma Gen-E charging cable page. Everything for the marque is in Ford EV charging cables, and our guide to IP ratings covers the sealing figures used below.
UK delivery is free on the next working day, and a 2 year manufacturer's warranty applies to every lead. Each is built to IEC 62196 Type 2 and carries CE certification, works between -30C and +50C, or +60C for the 3-pin, and is sealed to IP55 on the Type 2 to Type 2 cables and IP67 on the Type 2 to 3-Pin.
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW, three phase
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Range Added Per Hour | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW | 17 hours 45 mins | approx. 17 miles | Too slow for this battery |
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.4 kW | 8 hours 45 mins | approx. 35 miles | Best Fit at home |
| Type 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 11 kW (car limited) | 6 hours | approx. 52 miles | For 22kW posts and workplaces |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 28 hours 30 mins | approx. 11 miles | Ideal backup |
This is the lithium iron phosphate battery fitted from early 2026. Cars built before that used a 52 kWh pack rated at up to 235 miles, filling in about 8 hours on a 32A cable.

Ford's UK price list and its European technical sheet swap the 77 and 79 kWh labels between the rear and all wheel drive cars, so treat the exact capacity as approximate. Charge times move by minutes either way. Low temperatures and fast cruising each reduce what an hour actually returns.
Get the 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable. The electric Ford Explorer is rated at 11 kW three phase, which a British house converts to 7.4 kW, and that cable hands over every watt the car can take at home.
No. The electric Ford Explorer is built in Cologne on a European platform and went on sale in 2024. The North American Ford Explorer is a large petrol SUV with no charging socket at all. They share a name and nothing else, so no cable on this site fits the American car.
Only if you charge somewhere with three genuine phases, such as a workplace or an industrial unit, where an Extended Range Explorer drops from 11 hours 45 minutes to 8 hours. On a house the three phase cable delivers precisely the same 7.4 kW as the cheaper 32A single phase one.
On a 32A cable, reckon on 8 hours 45 minutes to fill the 58 kWh Standard Range from flat, 11 hours 45 minutes for the Extended Range rear wheel drive, and 12 hours for the all wheel drive. Seven hours on a cheap overnight tariff puts back roughly 250 miles on the Extended Range cars.
At 4.468 metres this is a short SUV, and the flap is on the offside rear quarter, so 5m reaches on most driveways where you reverse in with the wallbox on the driver's side. The 10m is for kerbside charging, a shared drive, or a unit mounted up by the house.
Yes, and on AC you have little choice. Untethered posts dominate British streets and car parks, so the socket is bare and the driver brings the lead. Rapid CCS charging is different, because the charger has its own cable permanently attached.
