Ford cuts 2022 E-Transit price before the electric van even launches
Chris Davies - May 4, 2021, 1:39pm CDT
Ford has dropped the starting price of its 2022 E-Transit all-electric van, even before the EV has made it to dealerships. Announced last November, and with order books expected to open in July 2021, the E-Transit looks at first glance like its longstanding gasoline counterpart, something Ford says is very intentional.
In fact, a lot about the 2022 E-Transit has been purposefully kept the same as the regular Transit, so as to minimize headaches for owners and fleets looking to upgrade to all-electric. The van itself will be built alongside the standard Transit at the Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Missouri, and feature the same cargo dimensions and standard mounting points as the gas version.

Will criminal charges be filed this week against Britt Reid? He’s the former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach involved in a crash that left a 5 year-old girl in a coma.
That was over two months ago.
Now the Kansas City Police Department says it has completed its investigation and handed the case to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.
An early police report claimed Reid confessed to having “two or three drinks” before leaving the Arrowhead Stadium complex and was taking the prescription drug Adderall.
