Based on the Promaster architecture, the all-electric van features a unibody design that incorporates the battery pack efficiently.

The cargo version has a payload capacity of 1,369 kilograms (kg), while the delivery version offers 920 kg of payload.
Inside, the Promaster EV is equipped with a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment touchscreen. The Uconnect 5 system is five times faster than the previous version, featuring Wi-Fi capability and the option to create up to five user profiles. It can continuously update and offer new content and features.
The van also comes with advanced safety technologies such as full-speed forward collision warning, crosswind assist, post-collision braking, drowsiness detection, traffic sign information, auto high-beams, rear parking sensor, and 360-degree surround-view camera.
Customers may also opt to add the Active Driving Assist feature, which provides Level 2 automated driving capability.
