That’s the upfront cost. When you factor in the potential incentives and much lower running costs, the numbers are even better.

            Does a vehicle have to be classified as a commercial vehicle to get deduction status?

          I would argue that the transit itself is not specifically a commercial vehicle but it can come equipped with packages that make it useful for commercial use.

            Copy and paste the first lines from the Ford Transit website:

            "It’s Ready To Work

            With a wide array of features to help you get the job done, the 2024 Ford Transit® van is the perfect addition to your workforce."

            They used to sell a consumer-targeted version called the Transit Connect

              1. I went to the Ford website and navigated to the two different Transit van pages and did not see that quote.

              2. The e-version only had a Cargo option which is definitely aimed at commercial activities.

              3. For the standard Transit, the first image shown on the website is literally a family getting out of the van with some baggage. If you scroll to the next section it is a Transit pulling a camper. If you scroll again the first listed van option is the passenger van XL.

              I would argue that the Transit itself is not specifically a commercial vehicle but it can come equipped with packages that make it useful for a commercial use.

                Weird you’re not seeing it.

                Check the Ford.com website . It is categorized in “commercial trucks” and redirects to commercial whether you access from commercial section or “vans” section (see the website URL).

                https://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/e-transit/

                The ETransit’s page first lines say (copy/paste):

                “Hardworking efficiency to power your work. All-electric to change your business.”

                edit: I refreshed a couple of times for fun. The ICE Transit DID change the first line to "Plenty of space. Multiple configurations. Interior versatility. Prepared for all life’s journeys. "

                It also has a different header

                Anyway here’s the wiki: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Transit
