FORD E-TRANSIT: THE WORST REVIEW OF AN IMPORTANT EV

EV Channels Review

The Ford e-Transit is presented as a pivotal moment for commercial EVs, with the reviewer emphasizing its importance in transitioning everyday drivers to electric power. Key highlights include its identical load space and capacity to the diesel version, meaning no compromises for practicality. The van is noted for its quiet and comfortable ride, making it ideal for stop-start urban deliveries. A significant positive is the optional Pro Power Onboard feature, allowing it to act as a mobile power source. While the reviewer acknowledges the higher initial cost, they suggest fuel savings and potential fleet benefits (like telematics) will outweigh it. The handling is surprisingly good, with independent rear suspension contributing to a stable, almost sporty feel. The main drawback identified is the range, which, at an estimated 140-160 miles (unladen), might be insufficient for those covering vast distances daily, though it's deemed adequate for the majority of local delivery routes.
