We’ve all heard that fleeting EVs will lower your “fuel” bill considerably compared to an ICE vehicle. But by how much, exactly? Here’s the formula.
Ford E-Transits are joining Fluid Truck’s fleet to expand its EV line-up at a time when more Americans than ever are looking for EVs in response to record-high gas prices.
Ford's Otosan factory in Kocaeli, Turkey celebratesa landmark moment as the electric van reaches volume production with customer orders at 5,000+ units.
Ford President and CEO Jim Farley said the company’s “taking EVs mainstream,” citing orders or reservations of more 275,000 all-electric Mustang Mach-E SUVs, F-150 Lightning pickups, and E-Transit commercial vehicles.
The E-Transit has more than 10,000 orders from fleet and commercial customers. Ford said it “is working on ways to increase production.”
The pilot program vehicles are road ready and will be in use through 2023.
As part of Ford’s just-released registration site for the electric E-Transit van, Ford has updated targeted battery ranges by body type, roof height, and wheelbase, along with targeted MSRPs for each configuration.
Lightning eMotors expects to produce 100 purpose-built Electric Transits this year, with a projection of up to 3,000 units by 2023.
The E-Transit is available in eight body-style configurations, including cargo van, chassis cab, and cutaway versions, with three roof heights and three body lengths. The E-Transit cargo area is the same as the current gasoline-powered Transit van.
Ford wants to make commercial vehicles a larger part of its business, and Ford CV leader Ted Cannis explains how the company is turning to things such as electrification and connectivity to make it happen.
