The Ford Puma Gen-E alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Ford Puma Gen-E has a maximum power of 123.5 kW (168 hp / 166 bhp) and a total torque of 290 Nm (214 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 46.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 43.6 kWh, with a 2.4 kWh buffer (5.2%) for battery protection.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 376 km (234 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 347 km (216 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 11.6 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 12.6 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 100 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 80 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 24 minutes at an average power of 75 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 7–67%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 65 kW over a session lasting about 24 minutes and 11 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 23 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 11 hours and 15 minutes, needing seven charging stops from 7% to 69%, totaling 175 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 3 hours and 57 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The charge port is on the left rear side. This position suits charging bays where the vehicle reverses toward the charging point.
This model uses a CCS Combo 2 connector in its charge port.
Drivetrain
