I sometimes watch some Youtube videos of various trades and one of them is a London spark called Thomas Nagy. He reckons he bought a new Renault Kangoo van, which Renault claims a range of 140 miles for, but dealer said real world more like 120 miles.
Anyway, he picked up the new van from dealer and only got 40 miles on motorway before he had to sit and wait for it to recharge - doesn't have fast charge. He seemed to be saying that if you use the van on the motorway, the range is greatly reduced. Also, the van has no air con or cruise control, etc. In 2021??
How is this practical? Are all electric vans this bad? Presumably the pathetic range will drop off further as the batteries age? How much does one of these things cost? The action starts at 5:45 on video -
