Think Ford commercial vehicle and, for many people, the first van that comes to mind is the Transit. The iconic Ford Transit has been a familiar sight on UK roads for decades, building a reputation for practicality, durability and versatility.

Today, Ford offers a growing range of electric commercial vehicles, including the E-Transit, E-Transit Custom and E-Transit Courier, giving businesses a choice of electric vans across different sizes and applications.

The Ford E-Transit is the full-size electric van in the range and is available in a variety of body configurations, including different lengths and roof heights. It offers up to 15.1m³ of loadspace, while battery options provide an official range of up to 249 miles, depending on specification.

For businesses looking for something more compact, the Ford E-Transit Custom combines the familiar Transit Custom format with an all-electric powertrain. It offers up to 230 miles of range and is designed for businesses that need a balance of load capacity, manoeuvrability and everyday usability.

At the smaller end of the range, the E-Transit Courier provides a compact electric van option aimed at urban deliveries and businesses that don't require the capacity of a full-size Transit.

Why choose a Ford electric van?

Leasing a Ford electric van can offer a number of benefits for businesses. There can be lower day-to-day running and maintenance costs compared with a conventional diesel van, while electric vans also produce zero tailpipe emissions when driving.

Leasing can also make it easier to access the latest electric van technology without the larger upfront cost associated with buying a vehicle outright. Depending on your business and circumstances, there may also be tax and other financial benefits associated with running an electric commercial vehicle.

Ford's electric van range is supported by its Ford Pro ecosystem, which includes connected vehicle technology, fleet management software and charging solutions designed to help businesses manage their vehicles and minimise downtime.

How long does it take to charge a Ford electric van?

Charging times depend on the model, battery, charger and conditions.

For example, the current Ford E-Transit can charge from 10–80% in approximately 37 minutes with its standard-range battery, while the extended-range version can achieve the same charge in approximately 28 minutes using a suitable high-power DC charger.

The E-Transit can also be charged at a depot or home charging point, although charging from empty to full takes considerably longer than a DC rapid-charge session. Ford quotes approximately 8–12 hours for a 0–100% charge using suitable depot charging equipment.

The E-Transit Custom supports 125kW DC fast charging, with a 10–80% charge taking approximately 39 minutes on the relevant configuration.

Actual charging times will vary depending on the vehicle specification, charging equipment, battery temperature and other conditions.
