OVERVIEW
The Transit Connect Electric is an electric vehicle produced by Azure Dynamics
Corporation and Ford Motor Company.
The vehicle is powered by a high voltage traction motor—mounted under the hood—
which drives the front wheels through a transmission. Power for the motor is supplied by
a high voltage battery pack which is mounted under the cargo area forward of the rear
wheels.
A junction box—mounted underneath the floor between the front seats—provides a
connection point between the high voltage battery and other system components. High
Voltage wiring is identified with distinctive orange cabling.
DRIVER CONTROLS
All Driver controls are used as they would be on a standard Transit Connect. This
includes power steering, power brakes, gear selection, and climate controls.
ELECTRICAL OPERATION
The Transit Connect Electric uses both High Voltage and Low Voltage systems. A
conventional 12 V battery maintains normal vehicle systems, however it is maintained by
the High Voltage Battery. All electrical power used comes from this High Voltage
Battery, which is maintained by recharging the vehicle from an external source.
See the
High Voltage Battery Charging chapter at the back of this Supplement for
details.
