How many miles per gallon does a 2024 Ford E-Transit get?
The 2024 Ford E-Transit does not publish miles-per-gallon figures because it is an electric vehicle; its efficiency is reported in miles-per-gallon equivalent (MPGe) by the EPA, with typical combined MPGe in the mid-70s and varying by configuration.
Understanding MPGe versus MPG
MPGe, or miles per gallon equivalent, measures how far a vehicle can travel on the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline. For electric vehicles like the E-Transit, MPGe reflects the efficiency of electricity use rather than combustion. Factors such as wheelbase, roof height, battery option, payload, and climate control all influence the MPGe and the vehicle’s real-world range.
EPA ratings for the 2024 E-Transit
The following figures reflect EPA estimates and vary by configuration. They provide a general sense of the vehicle’s efficiency across common setups.
- Combined MPGe: about 74 MPGe (roughly in the mid-70s MPGe range, depending on model specifics).
- Estimated range per charge: roughly 126 miles for typical configurations, with actual range affected by payload, driving style, and auxiliary power use.
These figures are intended as a guideline; real-world performance can differ based on driving conditions, climate control usage, and load.
What affects efficiency and range
Several practical factors can shift the E-Transit’s MPG-equivalent and range in daily use. Understanding these helps fleets plan more accurately for total cost of ownership and routes.
- Payload: Heavier loads increase energy consumption and reduce range.
- Climate control: Heating or cooling while driving can noticeably affect MPGe and distance per charge.
- Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and high speeds raise energy use; steady speeds and gradual starts conserve energy.
- Tire condition and pressure: Underinflated tires raise rolling resistance and lower efficiency.
In practice, fleet managers often optimize routes, precondition cabins while plugged in, and maintain tire pressure to maximize efficiency.
How to compare E-Transit efficiency to gas vans
When evaluating efficiency, an apples-to-apples comparison is essential. Gasoline-powered vans use miles-per-gallon (MPG) as a metric, while the E-Transit is assessed via MPGe and energy use per mile. Even with MPGe figures, total cost of ownership should consider electricity costs, maintenance, and charging infrastructure in addition to upfront price and residual values.
Charging and ownership considerations
Beyond MPGe, buyers should consider charging options (home, depot, public networks), charging speed (kW), and the availability of charging during delivery schedules. These elements influence practical “cost per mile” and downtime for recharging.
Summary
The 2024 Ford E-Transit is an electric van, so its efficiency is expressed as MPGe rather than mpg. Typical EPA combined MPGe is in the mid-70s, with an EPA-estimated range around 126 miles per charge for common configurations—though actual numbers vary by wheelbase, roof height, payload, and driving conditions. For buyers, the key is to compare MPGe and range within the specific configuration being considered and to account for charging infrastructure and operating practices that affect real-world performance.
What is the range of the Ford E-Transit 2025?
The 2025 Ford E-Transit has an estimated range of 159 miles for the low-roof model, but the actual range varies based on factors like roof height, load, and driving conditions. An extended-range model with a projected range of up to 249 miles was announced for delivery in early 2025.
Standard range (159 miles)
- This applies to the low-roof model with the 89 kWh battery pack.
- The medium-roof model has a projected range of 148 miles, and the high-roof has a projected range of 143 miles.
- Ford states this is more than the average daily mileage for commercial vans in the U.S., which is about 74 miles.
Extended-range model
- A version with a larger battery and an extended range of up to 249 miles was announced for delivery in early 2025.
- This model also features DC fast charging and a 10-minute charge could add up to 72 miles of range.
Factors that affect range
- Vehicle configuration: Roof height and body length affect range.
- Load: Carrying a heavy payload will decrease the range.
- Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and higher speeds use more energy.
- Environment: External factors like temperature can impact real-world range.
Are e-transits worth it?
The regular Ford Transit is one of the best large vans you can buy, so it's no surprise that the fully-electric Ford E-Transit is an excellent choice if you need a large electric van. It's a bit like one of the modern Proms concerts that plays electronic music - a beloved institution, updated for the 2020s.
Can Ford E-Transit charge at a Tesla supercharger?
Ford electric vehicles (EVs) can charge at designated Tesla Superchargers in the United States and Canada with a Fast Charging Adapter. Select Tesla Supercharger locations have a Magic Dock adapter built into their stations.
How does the 2024 E-Transit compare to a gas-powered Transit?
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Ford E-Transit utilizes a single-motor, rear-wheel drive setup. Rated at 266 horsepower, it gives up a few ponies to the standard Transit's 275-hp gasoline V-6, but its 317 pound-feet of torque handily tops the 262 pound-feet output of the gas engine.
