What is the range of the Ford Transit electric 2024?
The 2024 Ford E-Transit (the electric version of Ford’s Transit cargo van) carries an EPA-estimated range of up to 126 miles per charge. Real-world range varies with configuration, payload, driving conditions, and climate.
Range overview
The Ford E-Transit uses a 68 kWh usable battery pack and is rated by the EPA for up to 126 miles on a full charge. This figure is the upper limit and applies under ideal testing conditions; actual range can be lower depending on how the van is configured and used. The range is generally consistent across wheelbase and roof configurations, but payload and driving factors can reduce the distance you can travel between charges.
Key factors that influence range
The following factors influence real-world range on the E-Transit. Understanding them helps set expectations for daily use.
- Payload and weight: Heavier loads reduce efficiency and range.
- Driving style and speed: Higher speeds and aggressive acceleration consume more energy.
- Climate control: Heating or cooling can draw significant power, lowering range in extreme temperatures.
- Terrain and route: Hills, stop-and-go traffic, and highway driving affect energy use.
- Wheelbase and roof height: Different configurations can shift efficiency slightly, though the official EPA rating remains up to 126 miles.
In practice, fleet operators often see shorter ranges when the van is fully loaded or used in challenging conditions, and longer ranges in moderate, steady city driving with lighter loads.
Charging options and charging times
Ford equips the E-Transit with options for both AC Level 2 charging and DC fast charging. This flexibility helps match charging to commercial operations and scheduling.
- AC charging (Level 2): The onboard charger supports up to roughly 11 kW, allowing overnight or daytime charging at commercial or fleet locations.
- DC fast charging: The E-Transit is capable of fast charging with up to about 115 kW, enabling a rapid top-up on longer trips.
- Typical charging times: A full charge at Level 2 will take several hours (roughly 6–9 hours depending on the exact setup and starting state), while DC fast charging can replenish a large portion of the battery in around 45–60 minutes from a low state of charge.
Real-world charging times depend on the charging equipment used, the state of the battery, and ambient conditions, so fleet operators often plan charging around daily routes and break schedules.
Is range affected by configuration?
Yes. While the official EPA estimate for the 2024 E-Transit is up to 126 miles per charge, the actual range varies with wheelbase, roof height, payload, weather, and driving conditions. Fleets that routinely carry heavy cargo or drive in hilly areas should anticipate more energy use per trip and plan charging accordingly.
Summary
The 2024 Ford Transit electric offers a top EPA range of up to 126 miles per charge with a 68 kWh battery. Real-world range is influenced by payload, driving style, climate, and terrain. Charging options include Level 2 AC charging (around 11 kW) and DC fast charging (up to about 115 kW), giving operators flexible ways to keep vehicles on the road. For fleets, understanding these factors helps optimize routing, scheduling, and charging infrastructure to maximize uptime and minimize downtime.
