2023 FORD E-TRANSIT ELECTRIC VAN REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Ford e-Transit is reviewed as a competent electric van that largely retains the practicality of its internal combustion counterpart, offering a quiet and comfortable driving experience with well-packaged EV components that don't intrude on cargo space. The reviewer highlights its impressive ride and handling, especially for a vehicle of its size, and notes the strong torque delivery from the rear-mounted electric motor. However, the significant drawback is its high price point, exceeding $100,000 in Australia, which the reviewer argues makes it financially unjustifiable compared to traditional diesel versions, especially without government subsidies. While the vehicle itself is praised for its engineering and driving dynamics, the current cost is seen as a major barrier to adoption.
