This week on EV Rider we’ve got a quick look at yet another new Ford EV that is going on sale this spring in Europe but isn’t coming to the U.S.

We’ve previously told you about Ford’s EV Capri, Explorer and Plug-in Hybrid Ranger, which also aren’t available in the U.S.

The next EV hitting Ford’s European showrooms is the Puma Gen-E. It’s expected to start at roughly $40,000 U.S. dollars, based on the April 8, 2025 currency conversion rate.

The Puma Gen-E is built in Romania, which is part of the European Union. Given subcompacts don’t tend to sell well in the U.S. and with President Trump’s ongoing tariff war, it seems unlikely Ford will change its mind about importing the Puma to the states anytime soon.

The Puma is rated for 280 miles of range on the WLTP European test cycle.

What we would consider real world range here in the U.S. is likely be more along the lines of 220 miles per charge, but that’s just a rough guess since the Puma hasn’t been EPA-rated.

The interior looks fairly upscale with a 12-inch touchscreen, digital gauge cluster and B & O sound system. It’s also available with a sunroof.

DC fast charging peaks at 100kW, allowing it to go from 10 to 80% in approximately 23 minutes. The Puma’s battery has a usable capacity of 43 kWh.

Despite the sales success of the Mustang Mach-E EV, it’s clear Ford thinks America isn’t ready yet for a small hatchback EV. Hopefully that will change sometime in the not too distant future.
