Ford E-Transit: electric van, battery and versions
The Ford E-Transit is the electric version of the Transit, designed for business, deliveries, and other urban and regional routes. We look at the battery, power, range, body styles, and what to check when buying a used electric van.
E-Transit in brief
The E-Transit is the electric variant of the large Transit van, introduced in Europe in 2022. It features rear-wheel drive and the same range of body styles as the diesel Transit: van, cab-chassis, double cab, and minibus.
This is a business vehicle that requires electric drive but needs a large cargo area. Don't confuse it with the E-Transit Custom — that's a smaller, separate model.
Versions and bodies
The E-Transit is offered with different wheelbase lengths and roof heights, as well as several permissible weights. The van is for deliveries, the cab-chassis for special bodies.
The E-Transit is not yet very common in the used market, so it's important to get the exact configuration from the seller: wheelbase, roof height, permissible weight, and power.
Battery, power, and charging
The E-Transit has a battery with around 68 kWh of usable capacity. Two power outputs are offered — most commonly around 135 kW (183 hp) and around 198 kW (269 hp). The manufacturer quotes a range of up to around 300 km WLTP, but the real-world range with a load and on the motorway is lower.
Can be charged with alternating current (up to 11 kW) or fast direct current charging (up to around 115 kW). Before buying, check what charging equipment is available and how the vehicle was charged previously.
What to check when buying a used E-Transit
Request a battery health report, charging history, and real-world range when fully charged. If possible, have diagnostics performed at an authorised Ford service centre.
Check the body (condition of doors, sills, and cargo area floor), suspension, and brakes. For special bodies — also the condition of the body equipment.
Check if the manufacturer's warranty for the battery and electric powertrain is still valid, if charging cables are included, and if there are any error messages on the screen.

Frequently asked questions
What's the real-world range of the E-Transit?
The manufacturer states up to around 300 km range according to WLTP, but with a load, on the motorway, and in winter, this distance is significantly less. Before buying, test drive the car on your usual route.
How does the E-Transit differ from the E-Transit Custom?
The E-Transit is a larger van, while the E-Transit Custom is a smaller, mid-sized model. These are different vehicles with different body styles.
Is the E-Transit suitable for long journeys?
Fast charging can top up the battery, but for long routes, the diesel Transit remains more convenient. The E-Transit is best suited for predictable journeys.
