    This is where Ford should have started with their EVs in Europe, I think it will be a big seller for them, although a bit more range over the 250 mark would be good especially as most competitors are over that and with newer city/small cars the likes of the new Renault 5 etc being 255ish miles of WLTP, it may but buyers off, Although the Puma is bigger than the R5, I think they may attract buyers from similar areas of the market.

      The other advantage it has is Tesla allows Ford to use their Supercharger network. So that’s an advantage that other EV brands don’t have.

      Totally agree. I can’t believe the UK government is delaying the electrification program too. Yes it’s tough for the legacy makers to transition, but dragging their feet only allows the likes of China to further their lead!

    I drove a chevy bolt here in the states for a few years, and though you got no spare tire, it had a similarly deep trunk. This is a similar size I’d guess and has nice styling in and out. I’d imagine this is a car that will sell well in the UK.

      Absolutely agree. Maybe if it started at £22k for the basic and up to £30k not starting at. But then these do sell what price was the petrol. But fair play on the service packs and warranty included and 10,000 miles however that works.

    Great review, can’t believe you can fit a Vicky in the boot, I reckon there would still be room for a Ginny too. Ford’s problem is that for less money you can buy a new MGS5 which is a class bigger, has a nicer interior and goes further…

      How often are you doing 180+mile drives? The average Brit only does about 140 mile per week and this thing has a claimed range of 230ish (if I recall correctly) so 180 real world in winter should be quite possible.

      @@angleseyandy9110Love my Kia Soul 64kWh, saves more time by hardly ever going to a station… it charges while I sleep. Anyway, with all my ICE cars, I had to make a 10 minute trip out of my way, fuel up and then get back to what I was doing … so 10+5+10=25 minutes. That’s a lot of 25 minutes gone out of my life for the last 47 years! Now it’s something like one or two minutes to plug-unplug. And then when I’m on a long journey, the 30 minute charging break does not feel a burden at all . Cuz I know I’ve saved loads of time over the rest of the year. I’ll have to come up with a snappier way of saying all that 😅

    Looks nice but price is high particularly as have to pay extra for things the Chinese include as standard, the whole plus plus pricing is something I hate, particularly when most packs have 1 th8ng I’d want but other stuff happy to not get but only get as a pack.

    Great review and like the Crippen effect with Vicky in the boot. This looks like Ford have nailed it on price, economy, and practicality. I especially like their change to EV offer with home charger, charging in the wild, service, warranty, and the rest. I also like their relatively simple approach to options and styles. This should fly out of the showrooms. And by the way Ford still has showrooms and dealers near you which also counts; almost anything else I would want to drive has dealers more than fifty miles away from us.

      Good luck with that when your ‘stable genius’ of President nukes the economy and supply chain. How are they supposed to plan for anything when the rules change depending on who last had a word in Donald’s ear, or whether he’s woken up with another brilliant idea that he won’t bother running past anyone?

    Love the looks, but it feels like the sacrificed back seat room for boot space. You’re 5’6″, for a 5’10” driver there isn’t going to be room even for your knees in the back seat.
    Sadly neither this nor the Capri will ever come to the USA, as Ford appears to be completely abandoning the car market, especially the EV market, and focusing on trucks.
