Electric vans are becoming increasingly popular, but are they practical for everyday commercial use?
Current options worth considering:
- Ford E-Transit (up to 196 miles range)
- Mercedes eSprinter (up to 248 miles)
- Vauxhall Vivaro-e (up to 205 miles)
- Citroën ë-Berlingo (up to 171 miles)
Key considerations:
- What's your daily mileage? Most electric vans suit routes under 150 miles
- Do you have charging infrastructure at your depot?
- Running costs are significantly lower — no fuel, reduced servicing
- Government grants may still be available
