Ford E-Transit vs. Ram ProMaster EV

Sized to Meet Your Needs

Many factors go into choosing a new all-electric commercial vehicle, but none are as important as choosing the right fit—literally. Thanks to their high roofs, the Ford E-Transit and the Ram ProMaster EV offer space for shelves and other thoughtful storage solutions.

For those who love options, the Ford E-Transit delivers with eight configurations, including:

• 3 roof heights
• 2 body lengths
• 3 base configurations

The Ford E-Transit continues to offer more with a maximum cargo volume of 536.4 cubic feet. The Ram ProMaster EV falls short with a maximum cargo volume of just 463 cubic feet.

Upfits That Work

Once you’ve chosen the configuration that works best, it’s time to take personalization to the next level. With upfit options available, the Ford E-Transit and the Ram ProMaster EV deliver the tools needed to succeed.

With the ProMaster EV, you can choose between a general upfit package and two delivery options. The Ford E-Transit, however, offers a variety of occupational upfit packages, each of which modifies the cargo van’s interior layout to include shelving, lighting, and climate control systems specific to each occupation. Some upfit package options include:

• General Contractor Trade Package
• Parcel Delivery Package
• Electrician Trade Package
• HVAC Trade Package

The Ford E-Transit's added options make this van easier to customize without requiring many aftermarket modifications.

The Benefit of Going Green

Choosing to add an electric vehicle (EV) to your commercial fleet offers numerous benefits that extend beyond the positive environmental impact of zero tailpipe emissions. With EPA-estimated driving ranges of around 150 miles, the Ford E-Transit and the Ram ProMaster EV enable you to venture beyond your realm of possibilities.

Rather than relying on fossil fuels that can often feel inconsistent, simply install a depot charging solution at your warehouse to steadily charge your EV overnight, ensuring it’s always ready for whatever’s on the calendar.

If unexpected trips for materials occur during the day, the E-Transit and the ProMaster EV are ready to adapt. Each is compatible with public charging. However, only the E-Transit is part of the BlueOval Charge Network, which, with about 180,000 public chargers, is considered the largest network in North America. Access to more chargers means it’s faster and easier for your employees to find a nearby public charging station.

Less Hesitation

Even in the face of the unexpected, the Ford E-Transit and the Ram ProMaster EV help your business maintain its forward momentum. The innovative modular front fascia of the ProMaster EV makes it easy to repair damage if a collision occurs.

With the standard Ford Co-Pilot 360® suite, the E-Transit works to mitigate the likelihood of a collision occurring in the first place. This standard suite includes features like Pre-Collision Assist® with Automatic Emergency Braking and a Lane-Keeping System. This is just the start of the innovative features and tools included with the Ford E-Transit that help reduce unnecessary downtime. Additional standard and available features include:

• EV Routing: Lets you view a real-time battery estimation based on your route and any planned stops.
• Real-Time Range Info: Uses traffic, weather, and route grade to provide updated range information.
• Pro Power Onboard™: Turns your cargo van into a mobile generator to power tools as soon as the job site is reached.

The Ram ProMaster EV offers some helpful range and charging tools, but it notably lacks a system similar to Ford's Pro Power Onboard™.

One Quick Call Away

Things can often change with little-to-no notice. Built-in systems help keep you connected to your employees, no matter the time of day. The Ford E-Transit and the Ram ProMaster EV are standardly equipped with an advanced infotainment suite designed for simple, hands-free communication.

Both cargo vans also have the option to upgrade their infotainment offerings for a more connected experience. Here’s a snapshot of how the technology in the E-Transit and the ProMaster EV compares:

The impressive network with the E-Transit-exclusive Ford Connectivity Package lets you download productivity apps directly to your cargo van, making it easier for your employees to have the tools they need to succeed.

A Constant Point of Connection

In addition to helping you remain connected to your employees from afar with simple hands-free calling and messaging, the Ford E-Transit takes things to the next level with the Ford Pro Telematics Solution. This optional feature delivers you invaluable data and insight into your fleet with capabilities like:

• GPS Fleet Tracking and Geofencing
• Location and Trip History
• Top Speed Limiter
• Dashcams
• And more!

Ford Pro Telematics helps you stay aware and alert about your fleet, even at a distance. This enables you to make better business decisions to improve your bottom line. Unfortunately, no similar telematics system is offered with the Ram ProMaster EV.
