THIS IS THE ELECTRIC FORD E-TRANSIT & I DRIVE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME!

EV Channels Review

The Ford E-Transit, specifically the L2 H2 350 model with a 135kW motor, offers a surprisingly engaging driving experience, exceeding expectations for a van. Reviewers praised its refined handling, steering, and ride comfort, noting it drives significantly better than a personal Sprinter and is the best Transit they've ever driven. The electric powertrain provides brisk acceleration, making it feel quick in city driving. However, concerns were raised about the low-slung rear motor lacking a skid plate, the limited 100 km/h top speed, and the relatively small 68 kWh battery. The charging speed, while peaking at 120kW, settles around 75kW, which is adequate but not class-leading. The reviewer also highlighted the E-Transit's higher price point compared to the F-150 Lightning as a potential drawback. Despite these points, the E-Transit is deemed a well-executed and appropriate electrification of a crucial vehicle segment, particularly for urban use.
