As an eco designer it won’t come as a surprise that I'm no petrol head motoring journalist but I have had the chance to drive a number of pure electric cars over the years - many with varying degrees of success and just a little anxiety.

Environmentally-friendly transport isn't all sackcloth and sandals, as VansA2Z discovered on the 2011 Bridgestone Eco-Rally behind the wheel of a Ford Transit Connect Electric, converted to battery power by Azure Dynamics.

This fully electric van is based on the multi-award winning Transit Connect platform. It has the same loading space as a standard Connect van, has better handling and the brakes won't wear out as quickly. The range is up to 80 miles and it takes around 8hrs to fully re-charge using a normal 13A socket. It's the first of a series of battery-powered models being rolled out by Ford over the next few years.
