Electrifying the UK's favourite compact crossover.

Ford’s best-selling vehicle in the UK, the Ford Puma, has entered the electric age with the unveiling of the Puma Gen-E. Combining zero-emission driving with the familiar sporty style and practicality that made the Puma a hit, this fully electric version offers a transformative driving experience. Starting at £29,995, it’s an exciting option for both city commuters and families looking to make the switch to electric. The Puma Gen-E retains its compact crossover charm while embracing a sleek new look, improved aerodynamics, and innovative features like the “shield” grille inspired by the Mustang Mach-E.


The Puma Gen-E delivers an impressive range of up to 233 miles on a full charge, with city driving pushing that range to an even more remarkable 325 miles. For those needing a quick recharge, the car supports DC fast charging, taking the battery from 10-80% in just 23 minutes. Its electric motor offers a spirited driving experience, with 0-62 mph acceleration in 8 seconds and dynamic handling that echoes the sporty essence of the Puma ST. Energy efficiency is a highlight too, with consumption rated at just 13.1 kWh/100 km.

Manufactured at Ford’s advanced facility in Romania with electric drive units produced in the UK, the Puma Gen-E is a testament to Ford’s commitment to sustainable innovation. Deliveries begin in spring 2025, offering an accessible gateway for those looking to embrace electric vehicles without compromising on style or performance. As Britain’s best-selling car transitions to a zero-emission future, it sets a high standard for what an electric crossover can be.


For Puma Gen-E owners, pairing your car with a Lemac Power 7kW home charger is a no-brainer. These chargers are designed to be efficient, reliable, and perfect for overnight charging, ensuring your Puma is ready to hit the road each morning. With support from schemes like the Energy Saving Trust, a Lemac Power charger is an investment that keeps your driving experience smooth and cost-effective. Whether you’re tackling long journeys or enjoying charge-free city commutes, Lemac Power is your partner in the electric revolution.


The Ford Puma Gen-E represents a significant step forward in making electric driving accessible and exciting. For those ready to join the electric movement, Lemac Power chargers provide the perfect companion to this innovative crossover.

Inside, the Puma Gen-E is more spacious and versatile than ever. Ford’s innovative MegaBox boot storage has evolved into the GigaBox, providing an impressive 574 liters of luggage space — more than many SUVs. A 43-liter frunk (front trunk) adds convenient storage for items you need on the go. This enhanced practicality makes it a strong contender for families and urban adventurers alike. Combined with a modern, connected cabin featuring Ford’s SYNC 4 system and dual high-definition displays, the Puma Gen-E ensures every journey is both comfortable and seamless.


Ford has equipped the Puma Gen-E with state-of-the-art technologies to enhance safety, convenience, and connectivity. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Predictive Speed Assist, and a 360-degree surround-view camera make navigating both city streets and highways easier. Additionally, features like wireless charging, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto ensure the Puma Gen-E is ready for the digital age. Optional Dynamic Matrix LED headlights improve visibility, adapting to road conditions to provide a clearer, safer drive.

After nearly four decades, the Ford Capri returns to UK as EV SUV

The Ford Capri is a name that is iconic to drivers in the UK. With it being Ford’s coupe that was designed as the European alternative to the brand’s even more iconic Mustang, it seems fitting that their latest electric SUV joins the Mustang in Ford’s EV line up.


“Bringing back a legend as revered as the Ford Capri is a big deal. We’re excited that the new all-electric Capri is ready to bring some swagger to the world of EVs and introduce a whole new generation of drivers to the spirit of a cult classic” Jon Williams, General manager Ford Blue and Model E Europe


The original Capri was a 2 door fastback coupe with a classic long nose and short rear overhang with an almost instantly recognisable side window profile. With Ford’s move to reflect motoring trends means the new model is a fastback style SUV with two extra doors compared the classic shape. This move has disappointed some fans on the original fast Ford model, but as an overall package, this new Capri is likely to find a whole new generation of fans. The styling has retained a modern take on the classic side profile, with the window line still mirroring the immediately recognisable profile.

Underneath the new bodywork, the Capri is based on the continuing partnership between Volkswagen and Ford, meaning this new model shares the same MEB electric chassis as the Ford Explorer alongside a number of models in the VW group like the Skoda Elroq.


The Capri will launch with two power options, with a 3rd standard range option to follow in the coming months. These Extended Range models both boast more power than all but the legendary Zakspeed Group 5 racing model of their predecessors. The RWD model will have 282bhp and close to 400 miles in range, with the AWD model trading some of this range for a dual motor 335bhp output. Recharging this new model can be done up to 185kW from fast charging stations, although this limit compared to other competition means the 20-80% time is 26 minutes. Overall as a balance this time comes after being able to travel further than some faster recharging rivals, so this longer wait at a recharge may comes as a welcome break for drivers.


Inside the Capri uses a 14.6in touchscreen that can be adjusted for viewing angle to help reduce glare and personalise the way you interact with the infotainment, and hides a wireless phone charger behind it. With the technology overall, it’s exactly what you would expect from a modern EV for smartphone integration, and driving aids.
