Re: EV Van Drivers, give us an update…

Picked up my E Custom Sport from Birmingham Ford yesterday morning. Spent the day/night in Birmingham and Coventry so didn’t drive it much yesterday. Drove it home 340 miles today and first impressions are this van is brilliant to drive, a better ride than my Custom Sport diesel, probably because of the smaller wheels and the bigger sidewalls on tyres? Will be kitting it out between now and the 4th of January, then we’ll see how it fare’s as a works van.

Mega comfy to drive isn’t it, I think the biggest difference is the rear springs, it’s made the van much more comfortable.

Keep us posted 👍🏼

Aye it could be that, it creates quite a gap between tyre and wheel arch but if the trade off is a better ride I’m all for it. The drivers seat is a big improvement too, so comfortable, even on a long drive.
Will give an update once it’s kitted out and on the job👍🏻

Look forward to the update. I got a pcp quote on one the other day, too expensive. Think I will get a personal loan and wack a decent size deposit down. What colour you gone for?

I’m looking at ex demos and used ones with less than 4000 miles on the clock.

I got a silver one,1 year old with 1000 miles. It was pre registered and used by the garage. I had actually put a deposit down on a grey matter one then a silver one became available about a week later from the same garage, so I asked if they would swap my deposit over to the silver one, which they did. Silver was always my preferred choice but they are harder to come by.  I negotiated a good discount from the advertised price and got ply lining and floor mats included.

Nice.

I’m going either grey matter or the new blue colour.

Is the van quick? Should be pretty rapid 0-30mph.

I’ve only test driven the limited spec.

Also how much do you pay? This will help me with bartering with the dealer.

It’s very quick off the mark. Don’t really like putting how much I paid on the forum but I’ll make an allowance since you asked, I paid £25 300 + VAT, I sold my old van for £18k so that was quite a chunk to put towards the purchase.
