Ford’s Electric Van Revolution
Pardon me? An all-electric van?
Who would’ve thought it!
Yet, that’s exactly what Ford has developed.
It’s set to replace Britain’s most popular vehicle, the Ford Transit Van.
Efforts to improve the EV (electric vehicle) market are accelerating.
As we know, progress had to start somewhere.
One small step for cars, one giant leap for vans.
The noisy old Transits will soon be a thing of the past.
New electric models will replace older versions.
Why?
Because manufacturers must meet stricter air quality and emissions standards.
They don’t stop working to improve this.
Thankfully, the results are impressive.
What Is Ford Doing Now?
Ford plans to introduce four new commercial vans by 2024.
However, they know not everyone can switch to electric right away.
Still, the benefits are undeniable.
Running costs for electric vans are significantly lower than diesel models.
The E-Transit, Ford’s flagship electric van, offers a 196-mile range.
That’s enough to get from A to B—and then on to C: the charging station.
Worried about finding a charging point?
The UK now has over 42,000 charge connectors in more than 15,000 locations.
This is a 35% increase since last year.
The chance of running out of power is slim.
But keep in mind, battery size affects range for some models.
What Has Changed?
From the outside, the Transit Van looks the same.
Some designs are best left untouched.
But under the bonnet, the changes are significant.
Inside, the upgrades are modern and efficient.
Ford isn’t the only one innovating.
Competitors like Fiat, Renault, Citroën, Peugeot, and Vauxhall have launched their own electric vans.
There’s no shortage of options if you’re considering buying or upgrading.
What About Insurance?
Insurance costs for electric vans can vary.
Do your homework to find the best deal.
Whether you’re buying new or renewing, research is key.
A little effort can save a lot of money.
So, is it time to go electric?
With Ford’s E-Transit leading the charge, the future of vans looks bright.
