EV Van vs. Reality: The Honest Test Review - Ford eTransit Custom Can This Electric Van Convince Us to Ditch Diesel Forever? ๐Ÿšโšก | Real-World Ford e-Transit Custom Test A few years ago, I tried using an electric van on a road trip to Paris, and it was a complete nightmare. ๐Ÿ”‹๐Ÿ’€ Low range, freezing cold, and constant charging stops. But EV tech has come a long wayโ€ฆ so now we're back for round two. This time, we're testing the brand-new Ford e-Transit Custom, the latest electric van built for tradespeople. The mission? Drive 200 miles from Cambridge to Surrey and back, through central London, without recharging. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Will it make it? Or will this end in another EV fail? ๐ŸŽฏ Along the way, we stop at a secret London location to meet a very special guest: Adam from Heat Geek ๐Ÿ”ฅโ€”one of the UKโ€™s top heat pump experts. We chat about the future of renewables, electrification, and the heating industry. You donโ€™t want to miss it. ๐Ÿ”ง Is this the beginning of an all-electric future for Artisan Electrics? Or just another EV headache? Watch to find out.
