Interesting that they changed platforms. The first version was based on an electrified Ford Transit, rather than the E-Transit direct from Ford.

This new prototype is based on a Lightning Motors Transit to get useful range, rather than the Ford Transit EV that has a very limited range. Ford’s Transit EV design spec is for a local delivery/work van - a bigger battery in that case would increase cost and weight.
