Ford E-Tourneo Courier vs Kia PV5 Passenger

The Kia PV5 Passenger is £495 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £160 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Kia PV5 Passenger comes out roughly £415 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 163 miles for the Ford E-Tourneo Courier and 163 miles for the Kia PV5 Passenger - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 35 minutes in the Ford E-Tourneo Courier and 25 in the Kia PV5 Passenger, so the Kia PV5 Passenger loses less time at each stop.

The Ford E-Tourneo Courier is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 36 mm narrower than the Kia PV5 Passenger. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 524 mm of total clearance for the Ford E-Tourneo Courier and about 488 mm of total clearance for the Kia PV5 Passenger.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Ford E-Tourneo Courier and 84% for the Kia PV5 Passenger. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
