Ford Puma Gen-E

Ford's best-seller finally gets an all-electric powertrain It feels like the Ford Puma Gen-E was needed a couple of years ago, really.With the likes of the Renault 5 now hitting showrooms, plus the (recently price-cut) Jeep Avenger and VW ID.3, the Skoda Elroq, MG S5, Volvo EX30, Smart #1 and all of Stellantis’ other forthcoming sub-£30k electric cars shouldering in, never mind the ever-pressing ZEV mandate regulations, Ford desperately needs an affordable electric car.The good news is that the Ford Puma Gen-E is precisely the sort of lower-cost proposition that should get customers through the doors. Starting from under £30,000, it gets a 43kWh lithium-ion NMC battery (53kWh total capacity) that powers the front-wheel drive, all-electric Puma Gen-E to a WLTP range of up to 233 miles. That makes it one of the most efficient electric cars in the class, which is especially great news for a car that also manages a healthy 8.0 seconds to 62mph.Is it remotely that efficient in the real world? We’ll get to that a bit further down…
