- Highs Affordably priced, perfectly set up for hauling bulky cargo, a unique electric option in an otherwise stagnant segment.
- Lows Won't satisfy the need for towing, passenger van model isn't offered, could use a longer driving range.
- Verdict If your van needs don't require long-distance travel, the E-Transit is a choice that's designed to eliminate your fuel bill.
Overview
Although it looks nearly identical to its gasoline-powered counterpart, Ford's 2022 E-Transit full-size van packs an all-electric powertrain and an estimated 126-mile driving range. The E-Transit is only offered as a cargo van, so those hoping to haul passengers are out of luck. All E-Transit models are powered by a 266-hp electric motor that drives the rear wheels and a 68.0-kWh battery pack can be charged on a DC fast charger to add 30 miles of range in just 10 minutes. Inside, a 12.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard, and a 4G LTE modem provides connectivity options for fleet customers to help optimize their business's efficiency. The E-Transit competes against gasoline-powered alternatives such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and the Ram ProMaster, but Mercedes has its own electrified van called the EQV that could eventually make its way stateside to challenge the Ford on its home turf.
What's New for 2022?
The 2022 E-Transit is a new nameplate for the Ford lineup. The E-Transit will serve as a third all-electric offering from Ford, sitting alongside the Mustang Mach-E SUV and the F-150 Lightning pickup truck.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2022 Ford E-Transit starts at $47,690 and goes up to $51,690 depending on the trim and options.
The cheapest version of the E-Transit is the Cutaway style which lacks a rear cargo area and is offered to custom fitters. The better way to go for most consumers will be the cargo-van body style.
EV Motor, Power, and Performance
A single electric motor pumps out 266 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque; the E-Transit employs a rear-wheel-drive setup; all-wheel drive is not available. Ford hasn't released any zero-to-60-mph time estimates, but we expect the E-Transit to offer perky acceleration, at least when unladen. The company does say that the E-Transit's suspension system has been revised from the gasoline-powered Transit's to improve handling. When we get a chance to test-drive the E-Transit, we'll report our driving impressions here.
Towing and Payload Capacity
A towing capacity for the E-Transit is unknown for now, but Ford says the maximum payload for the cargo van should be close to 3800 pounds. Special cutaway models—also known as chassis-cabs, which are converted by fleets into box trucks, ambulances, and moving vans—could offer payload ratings as high as 4290 pounds.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The E-Transit's battery pack is a 68.0-kWh unit that's good for up to 126 miles of driving per charge, Ford says. The pack can be recharged using either AC power outlets or via a DC fast charging station. Ford will provide a mobile charger that can be used to charge the E-Transit at home and will also offer a more powerful charging station that can be installed in a buyer's garage. Otherwise, drivers can re-juice at public charging stations.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe
The EPA hasn't released any estimates for the E-Transit's fuel economy. When we get the chance to test the E-Transit for ourselves, we'll subject it to our 75-mph highway fuel economy test and update this story with MPGe and driving-range results. For more information about the E-Transit's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The E-Transit will be offered solely as a cargo van with seats for just two. As a workhorse, the E-Transit's cabin is utilitarian, with rubberized flooring, durable plastic trim, and cloth seat upholstery. Both standard-height and high-roof models are offered, as well as normal and extended-wheelbase bodies. Cargo space will be plentiful no matter which body style is chosen, but the extended-wheelbase model with the high roof offers more than 487 cubic feet of cargo room.

Infotainment and Connectivity
All models of the E-Transit will come standard with a 12.0-inch infotainment system which dwarfs the 4.0-inch display in the regular Transit. It's even larger and more sophisticated than the regular Transit's optional 8.0-inch display as it runs Ford's latest Sync 4 operating system. An onboard 4G LTE modem provides a Wi-Fi hotspot and also connectivity features for fleet managers, including vehicle telematics. The infotainment system is capable of receiving over-the-air updates.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The E-Transit comes standard with a suite of driver-assistance features called Co-Pilot360 with more advanced driver-aids available as options. For more information about the E-Transit's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:
- Standard automated emergency braking
- Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
- Available adaptive cruise control with traffic sign recognition
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Ford's standard warranty package is fairly basic and falls in line with the industry norm. The E-Transit offers an eight-year/100,000 mile warranty on its battery components, but Ford doesn't offer any complimentary scheduled maintenance plans.
- Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles
- Powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
- Battery components warranty covers eight years or 100,000 miles
- No complimentary scheduled maintenance
