The Ford Electric SuperVan boasts impressive performance thanks to its four electric motors, 50 kWh liquid-cooled battery, and custom control system.

It’s not uncommon at all for people to get sick when they go to high altitude areas. There’s just a lot less oxygen when you get to eight, nine, and ten thousand feet. Like us, cars that run on combustion engines breathe air, and they don’t do too well in that environment either. They’ll usually run fine, but you’ll definitely not get the efficiency and power you usually get at sea level, or even at 5,000 feet.

To achieve this level of performance, the Electric SuperVan features a purpose-built chassis that includes components from the recently unveiled E-Transit Custom. This fully electric version of Europe’s best-selling van provides a solid foundation for the Electric SuperVan’s track-ready capabilities.

Now, they’re going to combine this long tradition with another tradition. It turns out Ford has been racing vehicles on Pike’s Peak for over a century. The first run was in 1916, with the Ford Model T. In 2023, SuperVan 4 will continue this tradition by being piloted by none other than motorsports icon Romain Dumas. Dumas is a record holder at Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb and has achieved numerous accomplishments throughout his racing career, including three wins at Le Mans. He also holds several lap records in electric-powered vehicles.
