Good reviews however when you look at UK pricing for the diesel version and match as close as possible to the E-Transit version, the price differential is around 10%...so why are we here over 45%..
 ...even if it undercuts LDV by over $10K?..Local pricing: Ford E-Transit: $104,990 Ford E-Transit high roof: $106,490 Diesel versions range upto $65K here. Yes, yes.. I now the answer is because WE CAN as early adopters and virtue signalling organisations will jump in first where they don't really have to watch spending like us normal small businesses...  Just imagine the "damage" Ford could do to it's competitors if it offered the same price differential and grab a major market share with what by all regards are very good vehicles.

I don't get the pricing. But no doubt they will probably sell every one they can get, because companies are flat out into their enviro virtue signalling, and with next to no competition they might as well milk them for all the can.
How the chinese can justify their price is even funnier. EV's are pretty much garbage for work vehicles. Less than 300km range, yeah that's useful for cars that are needed to be on the road all day. And 35 mins to only charge from 15 to 80%. Then they are double the cost. Spare me. |
