Charging this van
The Ford Transit City, charged overnight. Times include about 10% charging losses.
A 7 kW charger covers a normal day overnight. At a depot, a three-phase charger fills it at up to 11 kW, about one and a half times as fast, which helps on long days or when vans share chargers.

Reliability, warranty and downtime
For a business, the kilometre limit matters more than the years: a van doing 30,000 km a year uses up a 160,000 km warranty in about five years. How to cut downtime risk.
The Ford Transit City has been sold here for under two years, so there's little Australian fleet history yet. That isn't a bad sign, but lean on the warranty and ask the dealer about loan vans and parts.
