Ford E-Transit Custom charging
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.
Improved E-Transit Custom utility
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.
"Transit Custom is a hard act to follow, Europe’s top-selling van and last year’s best-selling vehicle overall in the UK – but the all-new E‑Transit Custom is a huge leap forward for our customers"
Hans Schep, General Manager @ Ford Pro, Europe
E-Transit Custom, the mobile office
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.
