Ford Puma Gen-E: electric Puma, battery, charging and trims
The Ford Puma Gen-E is the electric version of the compact city SUV Puma, unveiled at the end of 2024 and going on sale from 2025. We look at the battery, charging, trims and what you need to know before buying a used or low-mileage car.
Puma Gen-E in brief
The Puma Gen-E is the first fully electric Ford Puma. The body and overall look are similar to the standard Puma, but under the bonnet lies an electric motor instead of a petrol hybrid. It's a city SUV designed for daily commutes and family use.
One of the model's key features is the front boot compartment under the bonnet (the so-called MegaBox), which is perfect for charging cables or muddy items.
How the Puma Gen-E differs from the standard Puma
The main difference is the electric powertrain. The Gen-E drives silently, accelerates quickly and emits no pollutants while driving, replacing fuel costs with electric energy.
The weight and suspension setup have changed due to the battery. Ford claims that the dynamic driving character, typical of the Puma, has been maintained.
The Gen-E is still a relatively new offering in the used market, so prices and trims are still taking shape. It's worth comparing with other electric city SUVs.
Battery, power and charging
The Puma Gen-E has around a 43 kWh battery and a 168 hp electric motor, with a claimed range of several hundred kilometres according to the WLTP cycle. Real-world range depends on speed, air temperature, and driving style.
You can charge it at home using an AC charger or quickly at public DC stations. Charging time depends on the station's power and the battery's condition, so check the specific car's capabilities in advance.
The transmission is a single-speed reducer, so there's no traditional gear shifting.
What to check when buying a used Puma Gen-E
The most important thing is the battery's condition. Ask the seller to show you the logs, charging history, and manufacturer's warranty details. Find out how much the car actually travels when fully charged.
Check the charging port and cables, and test charging at AC and DC stations if possible. Ensure all electronic functions work — the screen, cameras, and assist systems.
Inspect the tyres, brakes, and suspension. Electric cars are heavier, so tyres may wear out faster.
