This Ford electric van lease option is already proving incredibly popular with UK businesses of all sizes, and it’s available to lease now at DriveElectric. Built as part of Ford’s $2 billion investment in its advanced manufacturing facility in Turkey, this electric van isn’t just a retrofit — it’s a purpose-built EV, designed from the ground up for zero-emissions driving. That forward-thinking engineering is clear in every detail, with smart features and class-leading practicality that make it a standout choice in the electric van market.

The Ford E-Transit Custom comes equipped with the latest generation battery technology, using advanced 82Ah pouch cells — the same high-performance units found in the Ford F-150 Lightning. It features a 74kWh usable battery pack, delivering a real-world driving range of up to 200 miles, depending on conditions. That’s nearly four times the distance the average Transit Custom covers daily, making it a practical and efficient choice for UK businesses considering a Ford E-Transit Custom lease.

Two power outputs are available: 100kW and 160kW, with the electric motor mounted directly to the van’s rear floor to maintain full load space. With 415Nm of torque and a towing capacity of up to 2,000kg, the E-Transit Custom sets a new benchmark for capability in the all-electric medium van class.

To further enhance energy efficiency, vapour-injected heat pumps are fitted as standard across the range — helping conserve battery power and extend usable range in colder UK conditions.

As important as the vehicle’s range is, how the Ford E-Transit Custom can be topped up with energy is equally crucial, and Ford has created a compelling charging solution to match its electric performance.

At DriveElectric, we always recommend overnight charging. The most convenient and energy-efficient method is when the vehicle is idle, and the electricity demand is lower. Thanks to the onboard 11kW AC charger, a full charge of the 74kWh battery pack will take just under 8 hours, meaning the Ford E-Transit Custom will be ready for a full day of work if parked overnight in your driveway or work compound.

However, there are times when you’ll need a faster charge, and the E-Transit Custom has you covered. The van supports up to 125kW DC rapid charging, making it compatible with both Rapid and Ultra-Rapid public chargers. In ideal lab conditions, Ford engineers were able to add 24 miles of range in just 5 minutes. In real-world usage, this means that a 30-40 minute lunch break at a rapid charger could take the battery from 15% to 80% capacity, offering a practical solution for on-the-go businesses.

If you’re considering a Ford E-Transit Custom lease, this fast-charging capability ensures you can stay on the move with minimal downtime, making it an ideal solution for businesses that need reliability and efficiency.

Regardless of the battery pack and charging capabilities, first and foremost any electric van needs to offer a practical load space and again the designers and engineers have worked their magic, with a available load volumes ranging from 5.8 to 9 metre squared, and a payload of up to 1,100 kg.

Short, long and low and high roof options are available, as well as combi and double cab variants.

The Ford E-Transit Custom comes with some inventive features that we absolutely love, and one of the standout ones is the tilting steering wheel. Ford understands that for many businesses, the van becomes an office on the move — whether it's eating lunch, working on a laptop, or taking notes. That’s where the tilting steering wheel really comes into play.

As part of the Mobile Office option pack, the steering wheel can be tilted into a position that suits tablet or laptop use, or even flattened entirely into a small, highly functional table — perfect for enjoying a sandwich or drink during your break. This clever design ensures that your van doubles as a mobile workspace, making it a highly practical solution for businesses on the go.

Ford is also introducing digital keys with the E-Transit Custom, aimed at making the hassle of hunting for a physical set of keys a thing of the past. Much like a hotel room key, the digital key allows the van operator to remotely assign and track keys, enhancing convenience and security. This smart feature ensures that accessing and managing your van is simpler than ever.

For those interested in the convenience of these innovative features, the Ford E-Transit Custom lease provides an excellent opportunity to integrate cutting-edge tech and efficiency into your business fleet.
