THRIVE verdict
A capable urban runaround let down by one of the lowest payloads and volumes in its class for an above-median price.
This E-Transit sits in a tough spot on paper: its 894kg payload and 9.5m³ load volume are both in the lowest quarter of large vans in our database, yet its £49,545 list price is above the class median. After the Zero Emission Van Grant it still lists £3,500 cheaper than the equivalent diesel Transit, which carries far more (1,479kg) and holds more volume (10m³).
Range is also a weak point: 159 miles WLTP puts it in the lowest quarter of electric large vans, with a 68kWh battery below the class median and 115kW peak DC charging likewise below median. That's fine for short, predictable depot-to-depot work charged overnight or at base, where electric running costs undercut diesel; it's a poor fit for long daily routes or reliance on public rapid charging, where the cost balance flips.
Against electric rivals it's exposed: the Maxus eDeliver 9 carries 1,040kg and covers 171 miles, while the Renault Master E-Tech offers 1,030kg, 10.8m³ and 254 miles for £42,500. The Mercedes Sprinter diesel carries 1,164kg in a similar footprint. The E-Transit's braked towing of 750kg is also in the lowest quarter of the class, well short of what most rivals offer.
Best for
- short, repeatable urban routes back to a depot
- operators who can charge overnight at base rather than on the public network
- loads that fit three Euro or UK pallets rather than maximum weight
Think twice
- payload is in the lowest quarter of large vans
- load volume also in the lowest quarter
- range and towing capacity both weak against the class

What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 3, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 3, in a single row |
| 8 x 4 sheets (2,440 x 1,220mm) | Lie flat on the floor, between the wheel arches |
| Pipe, timber or ladders | Up to 3m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 3,083mm, 1,392mm between the wheel arches, 1,786mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 290kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count. Goods stacked on a pallet can stand up to about 1,636mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
Electric or diesel?
How the Ford E-Transit Van Leader 350M L2 H2 Standard Range 68kWh 135kW/184PS compares with Ford Transit Van Leader 350M L2 H2 2.0L EcoBlue 130PS 6-speed manual FWD, the same body with the other powertrain, for a typical working day.
Workable, with planning
- Range. 100 miles a day is close to a planning range of about 111 miles: workable, but cold or heavily loaded days may need a top-up.
- Payload. The electric version carries 585kg less (894kg against 1,479kg).
- Towing. Braked towing: 750kg electric, 2,800kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 12.2p a mile against 22.4p for diesel: roughly £2,550 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for no more than the diesel after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Loads that use the last 585kg of the diesel's payload.
- Towing more than 750kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 159-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.428 kWh a mile: the usable battery divided by the official range.
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Ford Transit Van Leader 350M L2 H2 2.0L EcoBlue 130PS 6-speed manual FWD's official 33.6mpg.
- Electricity: 28.59p/kWh at a small-business depot (DESNZ, excluding VAT), 26.32p at home as the driver pays (Ofgem price cap), 65.83p on public rapid chargers (Zapmap, excluding VAT).
- 250 working days a year. List prices exclude VAT and options; running costs exclude servicing, insurance, tax and residual values.
