The All-Electric E-Transit Commercial Van is Here at Franklin Ford

Vans are the go-to choice for businesses that need a capacious and enclosed cargo area for things like tools, gear, packages, and supplies. However, despite the rapid proliferation of electric automobility, there haven’t been many accessible options for enterprises looking to move away from gasoline. Until now, that is. The Ford E-Transit represents the future of America’s top-selling commercial van nameplate, providing uncompromised carrying capacity with emissions-free operation.

The Ford E-Transit offers expansive and versatile accommodations, strong payload ratings, myriad upfitting options, and a comprehensive ecosystem of products, software, and support to facilitate an easy transition to the electrified future.

Performance

With its responsive electric motor (266 horsepower, 317 pound-feet of torque), heavy-duty independent suspension, and RWD layout, the Ford E-Transit can haul up to 3,800 pounds in its low roof/regular wheelbase configuration. Cutaway models increase payload capacity to 4,290 pounds.

Ford E-Transit isn’t just more eco-friendly; it can also help reduce operating costs. Electricity costs less per mile than gasoline, saving you money on fuel. And sealed electric motors don’t require many routine gas-engine services like oil changes, saving you money on maintenance.

Charging

After analyzing over 30 million miles of Ford Pro Telematics data, Ford found that commercial vans in the US travel an estimated 74 miles daily. To account for longer-haul days or external factors like cold weather, the E-Transit’s 68-kWh battery pack was designed to target an estimated range of 126 miles.

The standard Ford Mobile Charger can add around 10 miles of range per hour with Level 2 (240V) equipment, fully replenishing the battery overnight (~12 hours). The available Ford Connected Charge Station increases the charging rate, adding 15 miles of range per hour. The Ford E-Transit is also compatible with 115-kW DC fast charging, allowing drivers to add 30 miles of range in as little as 10 minutes.
