·28 min·2 clips

The hosts imagine sitting in the new Ford Explorer EV, which has transformed from an American off-roader into a compact electric car on Volkswagen's platform.

The episode begins with the hosts humorously setting up a review by pretending to be in the new Ford Explorer EV. They describe how the Explorer has evolved from an American off-road vehicle to a plug-in hybrid and now a compact electric car built on Volkswagen's MFB platform. The hosts praise the Explorer's design, noting it as the most beautiful car on that platform, and discuss interior details like the steering wheel and moving display. They mention the AWD Premium version's price of 37,900 euros and an optional heat pump costing 1,480 euros. The conversation compares the Explorer to rivals such as the Mach-E Mustang, which lacks a heat sink, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5, discussing size and comfort differences. They also touch on the Peugeot E-3008 as a competitor. Later, the hosts delve into other electric cars, including the BMW i3, highlighting its carbon fiber body's repair challenges and high insurance costs. They briefly mention the Porsche Taycan's two-speed transmission and Tesla models. The episode includes a real-world driving test where the hosts navigate confusing roads near an airport, encountering traffic and navigation issues. Throughout, they share personal anecdotes, like a colleague's commute story, and discuss electric car consumption in winter. The tone is informal and conversational, with technical insights mixed with humorous banter.
