2022 FORD E-TRANSIT MAX PAYLOAD RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The EV Pulse team rigorously tested the 2022 Ford E-Transit in a maximum payload configuration under challenging cold, wet, and windy conditions. Despite the adverse weather and a substantial 3,000-pound payload (bringing the total to 9,500 lbs GVWR), the E-Transit achieved an impressive 95.2 miles of range on the highway, exceeding initial concerns. City driving proved less efficient, yielding 81.6 miles, a discrepancy attributed to cold temperatures and heater usage. The van's driving dynamics were praised, with reviewers noting car-like handling, crisp steering, and a comfortable, maneuverable feel despite its size. Performance was adequate for its intended commercial use, with a 0-60 mph time of 13.35 seconds. Charging speed was moderate, taking 1 hour and 29 minutes from 2% to 100% at a 350kW charger, peaking at 113kW. The E-Transit is positioned as a practical, cost-effective solution for businesses prioritizing lower operating costs and maintenance over extreme range, with Ford suggesting traditional Transits for those needing more.
