Range with full payload?

EvanVanVan · Jun 6, 2022

I'm trying to convince my company to buy a e-transit for our next van. Is the 126 mile range empty or with a full payload (which I see is rated at 3800 lbs)?

That seems like substantial payload that would significantly impact range in one or direction or the other. I have to imagine it's empty, because if it Ford could claim 200 miles range (empty) I think they would do that. On other hand, if while carrying 3,800 lbs the range drops down to 80 miles (and that's before taking into account it only being charged to 80% daily), that's not a lot of range.

Is there any real world experience with this yet?

Thanks

When I first saw this I thought it was a promo, maybe it is, don't know.

That was an interesting hour+ long video. Thanks

The bullet points for anyone else wondering:

Range: 131.3 miles (which Ford only rates that model @ 108 miles)
Payload: 1940 lbs (GW: 8280 lbs)
Average speed: 24 mph (which included some highway driving at 65 mph)
Efficiency: 2.0 mi/kWh (for a 68 kWh pack)
Eco-mode (Limited acceleration): On
L-mode (100% regenerative breaking): On

Nice, looks informative (maybe even too informative at an hour long). I'll check it out though, it looks like the exact in-depth review I'm looking for. Thanks for the link!
