Test Drive of the Electric Ford Transit Van [video]

Ken Gibson from the Sun test drives the Ford Transit Connect EV van.

The Connect costs £40,000 compared with £11,000 to £16,000 for the diesel version. Ford say costs can be recouped within three years.

Owners will get an instant return by replacing a fuel bill of £80 per tank at the pumps with just £1.50 - the price of a bacon sandwich - to fully re-charge the Connect.
