The 2025 Ford E-Transit is an electric commercial van available in multiple configurations and multiple customizations. It lacks the extended range of rival vans but makes sense for businesses that don't pile on the miles every day.Read full review
If you run a business and your fleet travels 100 miles or less per day, the 2025 Ford E-Transit electric cargo van might be a perfect replacement for your existing gasoline or diesel vehicles. Available in many configurations, the E-Transit travels up to 159 miles on a full battery, carries up to 536.4 cubic feet of cargo, and handles up to 3,249 pounds of payload, depending on which version you choose. Best of all, the 2025 E-Transit is the most affordable electric commercial van you can buy.
According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.

We drove the 2025 Ford E-Transit Cargo Van on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Driving experience
6.7/10
How does the Ford E-Transit Cargo Van drive? Unsurprisingly, the E-Transit drives like a van. Acceleration isn't blistering, but 0 to 60 mph takes 8.4 seconds, quick enough for a cargo hauler. More important is the E-Transit's 0 to 30 mph sprint of 3.7 seconds, perfect for darting around cities. Smooth power delivery off the line and relaxed throttle response make it easy to accelerate and slow to controlled stops. Unlike some EVs, though, there's no one-pedal driving function.
Braking is equally van-like, taking 140 feet to stop from 60 mph. Heavy-duty pickup trucks often require similar distances. Handling? Best avoided. The E-Transit's firm ride and suspension mean it will skip around over bumps and expansion joints when unladen.
Visibility isn't as bad as you'd think for a panel van thanks to a tall, upright windshield and large side mirrors. The slate of driver aids wouldn't impress much in a typical car, but options like a digital rearview mirror, surround-view camera system, blind-spot warning and warning sensors reduce a lot of the stress of piloting a tall cargo van.
Comfort
4.2/10
How comfortable is the Ford E-Transit Cargo Van? We try to avoid cliches, but function over form has never applied more literally than to the E-Transit interior. There's a center-mounted infotainment screen, an easy-to-read gauge cluster and a steering wheel. That's it. For a van focused on work, it seems more than adequate.
Although the driving position is a little too high and the pedals are awkwardly positioned, these are really the E-Transit's only major comfort deficiencies. Conversely, there are some thoughtful touches, such as the bright LED lighting in the cargo area and the small latch system that holds open the rear doors for loading. There are also tie-downs for securing cargo, a tough floor built to withstand abuse, and a sliding side door for easy curbside loading.
In-cabin tech
3.6/10
How’s the tech? Creature comforts aren't really this van's first priority, but there's some handy tech here. The Sync infotainment system was a cinch to use. It features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that worked faultlessly in our testing. The screen is also snappy to respond and quick to boot up.
Storage & cargo
9.5/10
How’s storage and cargo? As you might imagine, storage is where this van shines. Our test van was a low-roof, standard-length configuration. Frankly, that felt like a large enough space to live in for an extended amount of time. With the option to add Pro Power Onboard — an option that turns the E-Transit into a massive power supply — we wouldn't be surprised to see the E-Transit picked up as the next big thing in the #vanlife movement.
Its maximum hauling rating is another strong point. In the configuration we had, the E-Transit can haul up to 3,249 pounds, which isn't much less than the gas-powered Transit. Bear in mind, however, that driving around at max payload will negatively impact the E-Transit's already limited range.
Value
6/10
Is the Ford E-Transit Cargo Van a good value? A base E-Transit costs a few thousand more than a gas-powered Transit of the same size. But when you consider the lower operating costs inherent in an EV and factor in Ford's excellent fleet-vehicle support program, Ford Pro, the E-Transit is a solid value proposition.
Ford's warranty coverage for the E-Transit is average for the segment. Federal regulation mandates EV manufacturers cover the battery for at least eight years or 100,000 miles. And Ford offers three years/36,000 miles of basic maintenance, five years/60,000 miles of roadside assistance, and a five-year/unlimited mile warranty for rust on top of that.
Range/Efficiency/Charging
1/10
How are the range and efficiency? Ford says the E-Transit will get up to 159 miles of range on a single charge. While that was too short a distance for us to run our real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, we found over the course of two weeks that the E-Transit was slightly more efficient than that number suggests. Granted, we drove it around in Eco mode and almost totally unladen.
Ford says the E-Transit can charge at a max power of 176 kW. This isn't particularly quick by modern EV standards, but the E-Transit will have no problem recharging overnight.
X factor
5/10
The E-Transit won't win any awards for its wobbly handling, but it's a completely new take on Ford's storied Transit lineup. Those who use their vans every day will appreciate its cavernous space and innovative features that make hauling gear, flowers, food or anything else a cinch. If the Transit had more range, it would be even more appealing, but for now it proves that EVs can also be used as cargo vans.

Which E-Transit Cargo Van trim does Edmunds recommend?
Since the E-Transit Cargo Van comes one way, it serves as a blank canvas upon which you can build the commercial electric vehicle of your dreams. The sweet spot for range, cargo volume and payload capacity is the Medium Roof Long version. Critical options include anything that improves visibility, such as the surround-view camera system; digital rearview mirror; and front, side and rear parking sensors.
Competitors to consider
Other electric vans include the Ram ProMaster EV, Mercedes-Benz eSprinter, Chevrolet BrightDrop and Rivian Commercial Van. They all offer more range than the E-Transit (just barely for the Rivian), but several are substantially more expensive than the Ford. Before choosing one, be sure to read our Expert Rating of the Ford E-Transit below.
Edmunds spotlight: New Trade packages for 2025
This year, Ford offers a new Wall Liner Kit for the E-Transit. It fully encloses the van's cargo area to protect against damage, add thermal insulation, and reduce noise while driving. In addition, the 2025 E-Transit adds new upfit packages for specific tradespeople. They include the Electrical Trade package, General Contractor Trade package and HVAC Trade package. Each one equips the E-Transit with shelves, bins, drawers and hooks designed specifically for those professions. Ford has made a few other changes to the 2025 E-Transit, such as eliminating the three-passenger seating option and making the mobile charging cord an option instead of standard equipment.
The overall sentiment for the Ford E-Transit Cargo Van is mixed. Owners appreciate its comfortable seats, good visibility, and some compare its driving experience to other electric vehicles like a Tesla. However, they mention problems with charging times, issues with software like Android Auto, and challenges in cold weather, which affect its performance. Some owners have also faced serious technical problems, making them doubt their purchase decisions.

2023 Ford E-Transit Cargo Van 350 Medium Roof 3dr Van w/148" WB (electric DD)
Vehicle drives and handles really well when temperatures are in the 60s or higher.
Would not recommend buying new. Van lost over $22,000 in value in the first 10 months / 5000 miles.
Purchase price of $60,500 in oct 2022.
Trade in valued at $36-$38k in aug 2023.
Range is about 80 miles in winter as the battery powered heater struggles to heat the interior.
Another thing that I don’t see … talked about much with electric cars is cold weather driving. Without the radiant heat generated by a gas powered engine, the frame & body stay cold, all the time. This may seem insignificant to some but in the winter it feels like you just got in a cold car, even after you’ve driven 80 miles. Road slush and snow sticks to the cold frame and body when driving in cold conditions& sometimes packs wheel wells with slush / snow.
