When it comes to electric vehicles, range is what we’re asked the most. In this guide, Senior Training and Development Consultant Alan Bartrum will explore what effects range and how to maximise it.

E-Transit Range Basics
One of the great things about the E-Transit is that it’s much smarter than a regular van. With the Intelligent Range feature, E-Transit can accurately calculate your range by combining live data — including temperature and traffic conditions — with data it learns, like your driving style. So instead of just knowing how much battery is left, you know almost exactly how far you can go.

Things That Affect Range
Colder temperatures can reduce your range by over 30 percent in some cases.[1] But what has the most impact is your driving style, if you’re heavy on the accelerator and brakes you’ll use more charge, so driving efficiently is always the best option.

Battery Pre-Conditioning
Battery pre-Conditioning primes the battery and sets the cabin temperature while your vehicle charges, which saves battery energy and maximises range[1], even when it’s freezing out.

Regenerative Charging
Regenerative charging captures energy usually lost when you decelerate and uses it to top up the battery, kicking in automatically as soon as you lift your foot off the accelerator. Now, when you lift your foot off the accelerator, E-Transit slows significantly, sending extra charge to the battery, and giving you an almost one-pedal driving experience. If used in stop-start traffic or when decelerating down a steep hill, regenerative charging not only extends your range[1], but can also save wear and tear on your brakes.

Drive Modes
You have three Drive Modes to choose from, each one designed to optimise performance and range for the conditions.
- Normal Mode is the default, for everyday driving at full capability.
- Slippery Mode, as the name suggests, enhances traction over slippery surfaces.
- Eco Mode is designed to maximise efficiency, to help your battery go further.

Additionally, for your fleet to really to get the most from E-Transit, is Optional Acceleration Control, which limits your acceleration for improved battery efficiency, while maximising power when fully laden or towing.

[1]Range and charge time based on manufacturer computer engineering simulations and EPA-estimated range calculations methodology. The charging rate decreases as battery reduces full capacity. Your results may vary based on peak charging times and battery state of charge. Actual vehicle range varies with conditions such as external elements, driving behaviours, vehicle maintenance, lithium-ion battery age and state of health.
