Different types of Ford electric vans
The Ford electric range is here, and it’s just as versatile as you would expect from the world’s leading motor company. From Mild Hybrid vehicles that require no charging at all to All-Electric cars that you can charge at home, on the go and at your workplace, making the leap to electric feels is easier than ever before.
Ford electric and hybrid technology can be split into four categories: Mild Hybrid (mHEV), Hybrid (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) and All-Electric (EV). Find out more about Ford’s variety of electric and hybrid cars below.
Ford Electric Mild Hybrid
A Mild Hybrid Ford uses a small electric motor to help power your conventional engine. The car will never solely run on electric power, but it will support the performance of the engine and make you less reliant on fossil fuels. The electric motor can recover energy from braking, which it then uses to power the car's electrical systems.
Ford Electric Hybrid
A Hybrid Ford has two power sources, a conventional petrol engine and an electric battery. Your Hybrid Ford can switch from petrol power to pure electric power for shorter distances. You can also use both power sources at the same time for better efficiency. Your Hybrid Ford will never require plug-in charging as it will charge itself as you drive.
Ford Electric Plug-in Hybrid
Plug-in Hybrids have a similar set-up to a Hybrid, but with a larger high voltage battery. This means you can drive on pure electric miles for longer distances. Once you’ve used your electric miles, your Plug-in Hybrid will run like a normal Hybrid and charge itself back up. You will also have the option of using a plug-in charger to power back up sooner.
Ford Electric
The more environmentally friendly of the bunch, an All-Electric Ford runs solely on electric power. Your All-Electric Ford will be 100% emission-free and offers an electric driving range of up to 370 miles (depending on the model). You can charge your All-Electric Ford using a 230V power socket at home, a wallbox charger or a public charging station.
Reduced costs and tax exemption
Because of their lower emission output, by driving an electric van you can expect to save money through zero road tax/VED (Vehicle Excise Duty), immunity from congestion and toll charges in low-emission zones, as well as 0% Benefit-in-Kind taxation. With the rise in low-emission zones around the country, this is something every tradesperson will want to consider.
Simpler servicing for electric vans
Reduce the number of trips to the garage with simpler servicing at Sandicliffe Ford. You’ll be pleased to know that electric vans are made from fewer parts than their non-electric counterparts, so there are considerably fewer things that could go wrong (if any). Not only does this save you money due to less frequent van servicing, but it also allows your business to stay confident on the road thanks to the remarkable reliability of Ford electric vans.
You’re in charge, wherever you are
Whether you choose to charge your fleet at work or prefer to charge your electric van on the move, you’ll be glad to hear that it’s never been easier. With the enormous increase in charging stations around the country, you’re never too far from power. Thanks to Ford Sync technology, you’re able to locate your nearest charge point with ease on your infotainment display or mobile device.
Government grants for electric vans
Did you know you are eligible for government grants and support when purchasing an electric van in the UK? If your business decides to install a bank of charging ports to support their new electric fleet, they can also actress grants to make the installation of chargers more affordable.
