e-Transit Custom Kombi L1 160 kW 71 kWh

The Ford e-Transit Custom Kombi L1 160 kW 71 kWh is a 7-seat van-based people carrier with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £58,151. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.0 seconds, slower than 80% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 168 miles (270 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 14% of the 485 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 15th of 48 van-based people carriers.

It uses around 2.4 mi/kWh (263 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.4 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 70.9 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 105 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 170 miles (273 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £347 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for van-based people carriers (£278 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £33,100–£37,800, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 165 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
