Ford Puma Gen-E vs Lynk&Co 02

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Lynk&Co 02 has the higher published DC charging figure at 150 kW, which is roughly 50% higher than the Ford Puma Gen-E at 100 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Ford Puma Gen-E is listed at about 23 minutes, which is 5 minutes quicker than the Lynk&Co 02 at 28 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Lynk&Co 02 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 415 km, which is roughly 39 km more than the Ford Puma Gen-E at approximately 376 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Ford Puma Gen-E consumes 159 Wh/km, compared to 175 Wh/km for the Lynk&Co 02. That means the Ford Puma Gen-E uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Lynk&Co 02 has approximately 62 kWh of useable battery , while the Ford Puma Gen-E has approximately 43.6 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

The Lynk&Co 02 has the higher published DC figure at up to 150 kW, but the Ford Puma Gen-E has the shorter published charge time at approximately 23 minutes versus approximately 28 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Lynk&Co 02 supports up to 22 kW, compared to up to 11 kW for the Ford Puma Gen-E. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Ford Puma Gen-E is the more efficient choice at 159 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Lynk&Co 02 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 415 km, which is roughly 39 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
