2025 Ford Transit & E-Transit Review

The 2025 Ford E-Transit isn't just an electric van; it's a strategic tool for businesses looking to optimize their operations. For commercial fleet managers, the E-Transit offers a compelling combination of capability, efficiency, and technology. Here's why the E-Transit is generating such excitement:

Performance that Delivers

Businesses can forget any preconceived notions about electric vehicles being sluggish or underpowered. The E-Transit's electric motor delivers instant torque and smooth acceleration, making it ideal for navigating city streets and highways alike. With a competitive driving range, the E-Transit can handle most daily routes with ease, ensuring your fleet stays productive.

Electric Efficiency that Improves Your Bottom Line

Reduced fuel expenses, lower maintenance costs, and potential government incentives can contribute to a lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional gas-powered vans. Fleet managers can appreciate the impact this can have on their operating budgets.

Technology that Streamlines Operations

The E-Transit is equipped with Ford's latest technology, including the intuitive SYNC 4 infotainment system and advanced driver-assist features like Ford Co-Pilot360. Furthermore, Ford Pro E-Telematics provides valuable insights into vehicle performance, charging data, and driver behavior, allowing commercial fleet managers to optimize efficiency and streamline operations.

Charging Solutions for Every Need

Ford understands that charging infrastructure is crucial for electric fleet adoption. That's why they offer a comprehensive suite of charging solutions, including home charging, public charging stations, and Ford Pro Charging, a turnkey solution for businesses that simplifies installation, management, and payment for workplace charging.

By incorporating the E-Transit into your fleet, you demonstrate a commitment to environmental responsibility and contribute to a cleaner future. With zero tailpipe emissions, the E-Transit helps reduce your carbon footprint and aligns with the growing demand for sustainable business practices.

These Ford commercial vans offer a choice of powerful and efficient gas engines, allowing you to select the right balance of performance and fuel economy for your needs. Whether you need a van for local deliveries or long-haul transportation, the Transit delivers the power and efficiency to get the job done.

The electric driving range is sure to make it a hit with all types of users. It’s already being tested by colleges, small business delivery services, shuttle services, construction trades, and more. The 89 kWh battery powertrain produces an ample 266 horsepower and can go for well over 100 miles on a single charge. Here are the estimated figures:

Low Roof Driving Range: 159 miles

Medium Roof Driving Range: 148 miles

High Roof Driving Range: 143 miles

L2 Charging Time (0-100 %): 6 hours, 11 minutes

L3 15-Minute Charge: 67 miles (low roof)

With the regular transit, the performance numbers are 275 horsepower or 310 horsepower, depending on the choice of V6 or Ecoboost V6 engine. Ford’s ten-speed automatic transmission helps to make the most out of every horse under the hood. 

While the E-Transit represents the future of commercial vans, the gas-powered 2025 Ford Transit continues to be a reliable and versatile vehicle for businesses of all sizes. With its proven track record, customizable configurations, and advanced technology, the Transit remains a popular choice for those seeking a dependable and adaptable commercial vehicle. Here's what makes the 2025 Transit a solid investment for your business:

A Configuration for Every Trade

The Transit's versatility is unmatched, with a wide array of body styles, roof heights, and wheelbase options to choose from. The electric vans have eight configurations.  This adaptability makes it an ideal solution for businesses across various industries. 

Upfit Ready

With either gas or electric powertrain, the cargo area is designed with upfitters in mind, providing ample space and mounting points for customization. Ford vans can be modified with shelves, racks, or specialized equipment to suit your unique business needs. This flexibility allows you to create a truly customized workspace on wheels.

Ford commercial fleet programs make it easy to finance and service your commercial vans and trucks.   

A Legacy of Reliability

 The Ford Transit has a long-standing reputation for durability and dependability. Built to withstand the demands of daily commercial use, the Transit offers peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is up to the task. Its proven reliability makes it a smart investment for businesses that rely on their cargo vans to keep operations running smoothly.

The 2025 Transit is equipped with technology that helps improve productivity and safety. The available SYNC 4 infotainment system provides seamless connectivity and entertainment, while Ford Co-Pilot360 offers a suite of driver-assist technologies to help keep you and your cargo safe on the road.  E-Transit safety standards include:

Side-Wind Stabilization

Lane-Keeper

Road Edge Detection

Driver Drowsiness Detection

Pre-Collision Assist, Automatic Braking

Auto High-Beam Headlamps

Rain-sensing wipers

During and after the crash, there are more systems for protection and assistance. Post-collision braking intervenes after the first shock of a crash. Afterwards, an SOS Post-Crash Alert System can summon help. Additional available features include parking aids, blind spot systems, and speed limiting technologies:

Speed-sign recognition, Intelligent Speed Assist

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control

Blind Spot Warning with Trailer Tow Extension

Lane Change Warning/Assist

Front, Rear, Side Park Aids

Active Park Assist, Reverse Brake Assist

With two strong contenders like the E-Transit and the gas-powered Transit, you will want to determine which one is right for your purchase today and your long-term budgeting goals. Here’s what you should know:

Upfront Costs:  The E-Transit typically has a higher purchase price than a comparable gas-powered Transit. As reported by critics such as Car and Driver, Ford has taken steps for the 2025 model year to bring Transit prices closer together.  

Businesses should factor in potential government incentives and tax credits for electric vehicles, which can significantly reduce the initial investment.  A $2000 commercial charging rebate is a new offer from Ford. 

Operating Costs: Evaluate the long-term costs of fuel, maintenance, and repairs. The E-Transit generally has lower operating costs due to reduced maintenance needs and money-saving efficiency.  

Resale Value: Consider the potential resale value of each van. Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, which could positively impact the E-Transit's future resale value.  

Charging Accessibility: Assess your charging infrastructure, both at your business location and along your typical routes. Ford offers various charging solutions to meet your needs, but you will want to ensure convenient and reliable access to charging for the E-Transit.  

When choosing the ideal commercial vans, the optimal choice between gas and electric Transit options may be affected by your operational needs as well as your budget. 

Cargo Requirements

Evaluate the size and weight of your typical payloads. Both the E-Transit and Transit offer various configurations with different cargo capacities. You’ll have the opportunity to target your purchase to your daily requirements.

Daily Driving Range

How far do your vans typically travel each day? The E-Transit offers a competitive range, but if your operations involve extensive long-distance travel every day, the gas-powered Transit might be more suitable.

Urban vs. Suburban/Rural Environments

The E-Transit's quiet operation and instant torque make it particularly well-suited for urban environments with stop-and-go traffic. However, if your business operates primarily in suburban or rural areas with longer distances between stops, the gas-powered Transit might offer more flexibility.
