Investing in a Ford Transit for sale from our lot has many benefits that, as your premier Ford dealer, we’re proud to share. We want your business to succeed and know that a model like the all-electric E-Transit can bring your vision to life. But what makes the E-Transit such an excellent choice for our commercial customers? How does it extend Ford’s stellar reputation for building reliable road warriors that are versatile, functional, and value-oriented? It’s time to find out how the E-Transit fits into your business plan.
Whether adding one or a dozen vehicles, building a commercial fleet can take your business to the next level. Commercial vehicles put your business on the road, extending your customer base and the areas you can service. With a modern commercial vehicle like the E-Transit, you can reach more customers and provide services more efficiently and effectively, heightening customer retention and significantly impacting your bottom line. And as a business owner, who doesn’t want that?
#1 - It’s Configurable to Your Needs
Ford acknowledges that every business has unique needs and opted for something beyond the standard one-size-fits-all approach with its commercial fleet. The E-Transit is entirely configurable to your needs to help your business succeed. For example, the 2023 E-Transit is available in three models, three lengths, and three roof heights. You can opt for the E-Transit as a chassis cab, a cutaway, or a cargo van with a low, medium, or high roof. Wheelbase options include 130, 148, and 178 inches, with the E-Transit offering seating for two and as much space for cargo as you need.
The chassis and cutaway E-Transit models can be fully outfitted to your specifications by adding vocational-specific components and upfits. All three models can also be fitted with equipment and functional components like storage solutions that keep everything your business needs safely and conveniently stowed away. This configurability is critical because it acknowledges the uniqueness of your business.

#2 - Driving Range to Help Your Business Go the Distance
Did you know that the average daily distance driven by a commercial van in the United States is 74 miles? Where does your business fall within that average? Fortunately, you won’t have to worry about going the distance when you outfit your fleet with the E-Transit. E-Transit models offer a range of up to 126 miles. Recharging is also simple, with access to the most extensive public charging network in North America (the BlueOval Charge Network) and the option to add a charging depot at your business courtesy of your partnership with Ford Pro.
#3 - An Electric Heartbeat = On-Demand Power and Zero Emissions
The E-Transit has an electric heartbeat, making it incredibly appealing to businesses with an eye to the future. Designed to deliver on-demand power without compromise, the E-Transit succeeds in every situation because of its high-strength construction as a rear-wheel drive vehicle that heightens its capability, performance, and handling. The single-speed transmission works with the powerful electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack to deliver 266 hp and 317 lb-ft of instant torque for smooth and responsive acceleration at any speed.
Ford sweetens the E-Transit’s packaging by proving an electric powertrain is no slouch when it’s time to work. The automaker outfits the E-Transit with a heavy-duty suspension that optimizes its capability and lets you confidently push the model to its limits. Maximum payload capacities are 4,513 lbs for the Cutaway, 4,476 lbs for the Chassis Cab, and up to 3,880 lbs for the Cargo Van.
#4 - An Investment Offering Long-Term Benefits and Value
The 2023 E-Transit is remarkably affordable, with a starting price of $45,995.[a] This total purchase is even more affordable, considering the E-Transit is eligible for federal tax incentives, which can save you up to $7,500 on your purchase and can be combined with other state and local incentives. These savings mean you have more money to invest in building your business and bringing your vision to life.
In addition to tax incentives, the E-Transit offers many long-term benefits to your business. Ford immediately sets you up for success and instills confidence in your purchase by backing the E-Transit with an eight-year or 100,000-mile electric vehicle component warranty. This coverage showcases Ford’s confidence in its lineup and mitigates your repair expenses, effectively lowering your fleet’s operating costs.
Lastly, owning an electric commercial vehicle like the E-Transit is guaranteed to keep your business on the road longer without the overhead of ongoing maintenance and repair needs. Electric vehicles are far more affordable to own and maintain, eliminating the need to budget for fuel and routine maintenance like oil changes. With an average savings of 40% on maintenance costs, you will have even more money to reinvest in your business.
#5 - Keep Your Business Connected on the Road
Commercial vehicles are often pigeonholed as bare-bones models with limited features, technologies, and comforts. Fortunately, Ford challenges that stereotype by outfitting the E-Transit with a well-equipped interior and all the technologies you need to keep your business connected on the road. This technology is centralized in the SYNC 4 system, which is housed on a standard 12-inch display and transforms the cabin into a modern cockpit. With enhanced voice recognition, smartphone integration, and Connected Built-In Navigation, your driver has everything they need at their fingertips.
Behind the scenes, the SYNC 4 system is designed to keep the E-Transit out of the dealership. What do we mean? The E-Transit is tech-savvy and relies on advanced technologies to operate its best. Years ago, those technologies required frequent in-person updates at the dealership, meaning downtime for your business. Today, the SYNC 4 system eliminates that downtime by offering over-the-air updates that ensure the E-Transit has the latest software to run its best whenever and wherever business calls.

#6 - Recharging Made Easy
The E-Transit offers an outstanding driving range, ensuring your business can travel further with confidence. Ford adds to that confidence by making the E-Transit incredibly straightforward to recharge; it’s as simple as plugging in a smartphone, laptop, or tablet. But where can you recharge?
The BlueOval Network is the largest public charging network in the United States and Canada, with over 84,000 charging outlets on American soil. With the network constantly expanding, finding a public charging station is easy with the E-Transit’s navigation system or the FordPass app on your smartphone. You can also recharge the E-Transit from the convenience of your business parking lot using the Ford Mobile Power Cord or a Ford Connected Charge Station.
If you are planning to operate a large fleet of electric vehicles, Ford Pro offers depot charging. This includes hardware and software installation that readies your business for on-site charging. With depot charging, your fleet is always ready whenever business calls.
A Trusted Business Partner
Putting your business on the road with a vehicle like the E-Transit is exciting because it can mean expanding your service area and reaching more customers. It also guarantees a lifetime partnership with the most trusted automaker in America. In business since the 1900s, Ford helped put the world on wheels and transformed the global landscape with the Model T. Today, the company continues that legacy with models like the E-Transit and the commercial Ford Pro Network that gives business owners a unique opportunity to flourish with the Blue Oval.
Your business deserves that opportunity, and the E-Transit can undoubtedly be the next step. From its all-electric powertrain and exceptional build to its configurable design and tech-savvy features, the E-Transit is the most versatile and well-rounded commercial vehicle in the industry. It’s time to experience the E-Transit and the Ford difference for yourself and bring your business dreams to life.
