The Benefits of Buying a Ford Electric Van

Electric vehicles significantly reduce your carbon footprint by emitting zero harmful CO2 emissions during operation and eliminating reliance on fossil fuels. From a financial perspective, the switch to electric transport can lead to substantial savings.

Electric vehicles typically have lower running costs compared to their petrol or diesel counterparts, with electricity being more cost-effective than traditional fuels. Additionally, businesses can benefit from various financial incentives, including tax exemptions and congestion charge waivers in many cities.

Types of Electric/Hybrid Models Explained

Find out more about the various options available when switching to electric/hybrid motoring

Mild Hybrid
Mild-hybrid models are those vehicles that do not require plugging in in order to charge the battery. Instead, they make use of such technology as regenerative braking, which helps convert energy normally lost during braking into an electrical charge for the battery.
Plug-In Hybrid
Plug-in hybrid vehicles feature a higher capacity battery compared to mild-hybrid options and require plugging into a suitable outlet to charge. The result is that the model can then operate in all-electric mode for a limited number of miles - often more than the daily commuting needs.
Electric
Electric models are the most efficient of the lot, powered solely by a battery motor that is charged at private and public charging points. These vehicles offer incredible range and zero emissions driving, as well as cost effective running costs, making them the future of motoring.
