Ford Transit vans have long been the automotive workhorse of choice for lots of smaller businesses in UK, plumbers, electricians, painters etc.
That they now have a pure electric version of the Transit, I find a great positive
EV camper van conversion?
Very nice vans!! They’re in England as well. The first delivery was made in time for the Enfield Pageant of Motoring last year. Now let’s have the fully electric van converted into a camper rather than the hybrid Transit Custom.
🙋♂️THANKS SAM, FOR SHARING GREAT NEWS FOR ALL 🤗💚💚💚
My mate drives a van, he says he’s lucky to do 70miles in a day 😊
Well done Ford
If battery gets cheaper I think they can sacrifice some of the roof, like 5-8inches for additional battery packs just so it can boost range by at least 100-150km
Given these vans do a lot of last might deliveries in urban and suburban environments in the US - this will improve air quality. For EVs to really take hold - they need to address these use cases.
There is always going to be growing pains until EVs hit the optimum point. The speed that is happening though i see is getting ever faster! I still love the sight and sound of Spitfire in the air, a steam engine puffing and blowing, the sound of a 60's American V8! The looks of a white open top E-type jag. But i would wouldn't i being a 50's child! It's not our fault! But i always dreamed of electric cars since being a delivery boy on breads vans! The electric version was so good compared to the hot noisy diesel in the cab van, i didn't realise then my dream would take 50 years to come real. When the oldies like me have gone the great grand kids will love evs it's just their time.
This is a good van for a good price. I'm considering buying one but I think i can wait another year or two. I hope they can get to volume production and start making money on these. Fingers crossed they don't develop any weird problems.
Portugal debuts in manufacturing electric cars with Stellantis in Mangualde
The almost 66-year-old factory will be transformed and, from 2025, it will be able to produce up to 50,000 electric vehicles per year for Citroën, Peugeot, Opel and Fiat. The country also competes for the battery factory.
Yeah, the Amazon fulfillment centers have some nice electric delivery trucks now too
I’m sure Mguy reported that they had sold the grand total of 15 in Australia 😭😳
300 km range and $100k purchase price won't cut it for most trade workers in Australia.
Afternoon mate
Great news
The video you showed was a UK registered van, so is this available in the UK?
Are you kidding me?It looks like there's being hand built-in individual bays.I'm sure they're losing a lot of money per vehicle.
Oh, yes. I imagine so. For a consumer, though, I’d be surprised if this isn’t the smartest choice in this category.
It’s still a low volume vehicle so building it by a small team is cheaper than the cost to tool and staff an assembly line. I’m sure robots are used to make the body in white though to save some costs.
All legacy auto loses money making EV"s 😂
This is my van life dream vehicle. With solar, 0 gas 0 maintenance. That big price tag gets smaller and smaller when you factor those in. Thate being said its just an electric motor with a shell, why dont we have cheaper options? Maybe becausee the industry is so new and its old car companies with their old expensive philosophies that are the only ones making them? I dunno, i wish we were allowed more options, bring in the chinese EV's, is that why we dont have any here(Canada/USA)? we're protecting American companies from competition, and they turn around and give 100k vans... ugh... free the market!
at least the charging port location is 1000 times better than on the mustang or f15o.
Certainly the Big Guy will be pleased.
❤
👍👍
Rivian also sells electric delivery vans. Amazon has purchased 10,000 of them. Vivian has started selling them to other companies as well.

If you can do kilowatthours you can do meters and cubic meters.
75k for 160 miles?🤔. I'll pass😂.
Not good enough. But, better than nothing.
Hope they can improve Electric Cargo Vans and Trucks that have a real-world driving range to 1000 Kilometers .
I wonder when this will be happening?

Have a big US Postal Service contract which presumably will include charging infrastructure on site. Tesla could buy Canoo out of bk and start competing with Ford and Rivian straight away...as could General Motors actually. Tesla and Toyota can't get out of their own way at the moment which is a godsend for Ford and GM as they need to take market share from others in order to grow in the US auto market currently which is completely saturated with product that is still *WAY* overpriced for current economic situation. Still waiting on a full rollout of the 2025 Model Year Ford Explorer as well which is the single most important vehicle in the North American automotive market. 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is going to kick the Tesla Model Y in the teeth big time as well it has vastly improved. I still predict the best selling single model vehicle in the World by the end of this Calendar Year 2024 will be the Ford Maverick passing by the Toyota Rav4, Honda CRV and Tesla Model Y despite these other 3 vehicles still being clearly superior to the Ford Maverick just not what buyers want right now for various reasons.
Commercial buyers only I believe?
Very inefficient @1.79mi/kWh, when the Tesla Semi is getting 1.9mi/kWh- an astronomically larger vehicle.
Though it does make up for this with faster charging- I get about 72miles in 15 min DC fast charging while below 57% in my Kia Niro EV vs the E-transit 67mi, best case scenario. There are definitely enough chargers in the US, especially Level2. I’d like to see Tesla or Rivian remake the Van to be north of 2.2mi/kWh, mainly for price reasons. Then you can add cheaper/slower charging speeds and get the same miles per minute, while being cheaper to insure-for consumers due to less battery while being cheaper to produce.
No EV should be less than 2mi/kWh, it’s wasteful. Teslas get 4-6mi/kWh while China EVs are getting over 8mi/kWh.
Atleast Ford is trying! Lower floors, less battery, lighter frame, & less cost should be the plan for 2025 & beyond.
Their is no way you could drive this all day loaded up with packages and not have to charge it up at least twice day , absolutely not functional
Depends on the circumstances that it's used for. It either suits the purpose,or not.
ICE manufacturers trying to make EV's 😂
Ford still around losing tens of thousand$/EV, and being #1 in recalls 2 yrs in a row...
An e-transit connect would make more sense.
There is no way Ford lost $120k for each ev it sold! lol who believes that nonsense?
Finally, tax incentive is not in anyway the same as the vehicle actually being $7500 cheaper.
That might be true for a big commercial operation, but definitely not for most consumers.
Needs to be a plug-in hybrid version as well
Toyota junk
Don’t waste your time, get a Toyota Hiace.
Not for America.
Just get a Toyota Hiace…
Not in America
