In this review I have a walk around of the the UK Bestseller (of all vehicles both Car and van) in 21 AND 22 which is no mean feat for a Van!! BUT Will the electric version give new impetus for the electric van market... It is certainly a good crack at it! Sadly I did not get to drive but the fit and finish is well thought through and of a high standard.
Feels like there has been compromise somewhere though going with a 65 kwh battery with around 203 miles range rather than the higher capacity and range version announced in the IAA in 2022.
Certainly one to watch and if the feedback I have had from others that have had a drive it will not disappoint on that front when the time comes.

Must be the best Van out there.

I have never heard of an airbag in the roof. That must release a hell of a lit of space!

@jezthomas4402

Thanks so much for covering this; great to see more eVans being released. Did I miss the price?

Having just got a Vivaro, I discovered there is a disadvantage to high-up rear lights: a rear door-mounted bike rack obscures the lights. If they were a bit lower, like the transporter, or most older vans then there is no problem. A bike rack you don't have to strap a trailer-board on is a very nice thing.

Great review but the music is very annoying cheers

@spikebmth

Great review, good to see its got a good starting range!

65kWh battery size for a van that size does not seem all that large to me. As soon as you have a serious load and/or start running tools off it, that range is going to fall a lot I would expect. To be fair this is not just a problem with this van though, a lot of the electric vans available seem to be aimed at shorter range last mile delivery scenarios. I'm guessing it's biggest competitor would be the eDeliver 7 with a 88kWh battery which for many might be more attractive.

I love the ford transit 😊😊

@descb600f

No wonder you delayed mentioning battery size for as long as possible. 66kWh isn't great unles your working inner city.

It might be the best selling diesel van but not many are buying the EV versions, dealers getting stuck with them, heavily discounting them already, already seeing residual values that are shocking, quite a few leasing companies selling ex lease EV versions for same price as a diesel but the EV was thousands more when new.

It’s “Dunton” not “Dunston”

With NO OPTION to have different battery packs, then I can confirm IT IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE!! 100miles or less range on the long wheelbase high roof model... is actually PATHETIC. It is a lovely vehicle to drive. I had one on hire for a month and the RANGE is by far its worst feature.
