The Ford New Van Model Range
So, you’re ready to go green and zoom your way into the vibrant world of EVs. But with so many flavours to choose from - yes, it’s literally a sweet shop over here – where do you even start?
From sharp city cars to roomy family SUVs, each model features advanced tech, efficiency and a dedication to cutting emissions, letting you drive with both confidence and flair.
EVs come in all shapes and sizes. Categories too. But what’s the difference between them? And why do some use batteries while others take a more hybrid approach?
Whether you’re a hardcore Ford(ie) or just curious about what’s lurking beneath those boss car rides, getting to know the different types of electric vehicles is your golden ticket to one.
Call them BEV’s or Beverley’s, up to you. These ninjas are the real deal. Powered solely by rechargeable batteries, it’s bye to internal combustion engines (ICE) and hi to smog-free lungs.
Features:
Benefits:
They might be stealth warriors. But these chameleons have it *down*. Combining internal combustion engines with an electric motor, you’ve hit the sweet spot with one. Drive electric for short journeys. Or switch to petrol for longer rides.
EREVs are a special breed of PHEV. Excuse the acronyms. LOL. They work like BEVs for everyday driving. But when the battery’s low, a petrol engine kicks in to extend your journey. Think of them as a plan B. Need me? I’m there.
FCEVs are the big players in town, generating power through a cool chemical dance of hydrogen and oxygen. Want to know the best part? You’re left with pure, fresh water at the end. Hurrah!

Now that you’re a whizz on all things EV, it’s time to pick the right one
But before you do, you’ll want to consider a few things first:
How far is your commute? If it’s short, a BEV with a 200-mile range is fab. For longer distances, choose one with a bigger battery. Or a PHEV as they run on petrol too (when needed).
Home charging is a game changer if you have a garage. If not, explore public charging stations in your area and along common routes. Apps like Zap-Map can help locate them.
EVs vary in range depending on their battery size. So, if you’re jet-setting across the country, best to choose a model that exceeds your daily driving needs to reduce range anxiety.
Check your local electricity rates to get an idea of home and public charging costs. EVs like the Ford Explorer and E-Transit are very efficient, so easy on the wallet. Make sure to bump them up to the top of the list when narrowing down your options.
BEVs and FCEVs are like the cool cousins of glass straws and paper bags – making the planet a better place, one fun choice at a time. By producing zero exhaust emissions, they improve air quality and reduce pollutants like nitrogen oxides, leading to better public health outcomes.
