Though it has yet to receive a mid-cycle refresh of any sort, the Ford E-Transit has been treated to a variety of updates with each passing model year since its debut for 2022. That includes the addition of a larger battery and more range for the 2024 extended range models, while the 2025 Ford E-Transit has ditched the standard range variant altogether in favor of that option. Now, fleet customers awaiting the arrival of the revamped 2025 Ford E-Transit won’t have to wait much longer for that revised EV van to enter production, either.
According to sources familiar with the matter, 2025 Ford E-Transit production at the Kansas City Assembly plant is currently slated to begin on January 21st, 2025, though as is always the case, that date is subject to change. Interestingly, the 2024 E-Transit just began shipping to customers in early September, so it’ll apparently be a pretty short lifespan for that particular model year.
The 2025 Ford E-Transit ditches the old standard range, 68 kWh battery pack – which was was previously available on Cargo Van, Cutaway, and Chassis Cab models – for the new, standard 89 kWh battery, which is now available for all 2025 Ford E-Transit configurations. This is particularly notable as the extended range battery that debuted in the 2024 E-Transit was all-new at the time, and compared to the smaller 68 kWh unit, improved range from 126 miles up to 159 miles in top spec, which represented an increase of 26 percent for low-roof and 32 percent for high-roof models.
Additionally, while output remained unchanged at 266 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, the 2024 Ford E-Transit also got faster charging speeds thanks to the presence of new, dual onboard chargers that provide peak speeds of up to 176 kW. That means that the EV van can add up to 67 miles of range in low-roof cargo van configuration in 15 minutes, which is 49 percent quicker than the older model. Other than these updates, the 2025 Ford E-Transit is also available with a number of new packages and upfitter kits, all of which feature a variety of components from Ranger Design and are designed specifically for different industries.

The old one did maximum 80 miles on a good day. My transit custom does 400. What’s better for business?
My 2016 custom does 400 miles on a full tank and take 5 mins to fill back up. Electric transits are crap. I0 miles on a good day
If it can do a real world 249 mile range in flat, warm Florida and they enable some kind of “camp mode “to run the A/C overnight while parked and Off I will take a serious look at it.
Also we need always on 12v power in the back and need the built 110v inverter to be standard and reliable.
