Driving the Future: Ford EVs and the UK Electric Vehicle Market

The UK is fast approaching a major shift in how we travel, with electric vehicles (EVs) now a key part of our motoring future. Ford is at the forefront of this transition, offering electric models that blend performance, safety and practicality. If you're thinking about making the switch to an EV, here's what you need to know — along with some of the top Ford electric options available through Bridgend Ford.

Are EVs Safe to Drive?

Yes — and then some. EVs are subject to stringent safety regulations and, in many cases, offer superior protection compared to traditional petrol or diesel vehicles. Ford’s electric range includes advanced driver assistance systems, such as automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping tech. Vehicles like the Ford Explorer are also engineered with a low centre of gravity, improving handling and reducing the risk of rollovers.

Do EVs Have Enough Range for Everyday Use?

In short, yes. Most modern EVs offer plenty of range for daily commutes, school runs, and weekend getaways. Ford’s latest electric models provide between 200 to 300+ miles on a full charge. Take the all-new Ford Puma Gen-E, for example — it’s been designed with everyday driving in mind, delivering reliable mileage in a sleek, urban-friendly package.

Will I Be Waiting Ages at Charging Points?

Not at all. The UK’s public charging infrastructure is growing rapidly, with thousands of rapid chargers available across motorways, towns and retail parks. Many Ford EVs support fast charging, meaning you can top up to 80% in under 40 minutes. Ford’s built-in navigation tools even help you locate nearby charging stations and plan routes efficiently.

What Are the Top Ford EVs in the UK Right Now?

Ford’s electric line-up caters to all types of drivers:

The Ford Puma Gen-E: A compact SUV perfect for city life with sporty looks and great efficiency.
The Ford Explorer: Built for adventure with generous space, comfort and next-gen tech.
The Ford E-Transit Custom: Ideal for tradespeople and businesses looking to go electric without compromising on practicality.
The Ford Ranger PHEV: A plug-in hybrid that delivers all-electric driving for short trips and petrol backup for longer hauls.

Financial Disclosure

Mistsolar Limited T/A Bridgend Ford is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 1005401). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Mistsolar Limited T/A Bridgend Ford to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes Ford Credit. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to Ford Credit, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives and which you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and Ford Credit may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
