The battery-powered Ford Transit that could potentially revolutionise light commercial transport as we know It.
We like
Zero emissions, zero road tax, zero congestion charges and zero 0-licence fees. The addition of two battery packs hasn't compromised the payload; and, overall, the vehicle feels and drives just like a regular Transit.
We're not sure
The Edison's price stands out like a sore thumb, and the battery technology and propulsion system Is still largely unproven. Infrastructure, charging times and residual values are also of major concern for this type of vehicle.
We think
The Edison is decent enough to drive and looks good, too. Ws a step in the right direction, but its long-term viability is still a bone of contention.
