Im trying to justify buying a new van. More so what van.

There is the thought that Used Diesels could pump up in value due to them not being made anymore from 2030.

Anyone thinking the same?

Look on it another way, they won't depreciate as much as an EV will do anyway.

A garage near to me has 3 E VW transporters for sale, I was shocked as they look brand new, he cant shift them at 8K.

Thet may only have a range of 40 miles

Try renting long term. I did actually look at an electric van for my fishing, the range should be adequate. Over 2 years the total cost of the rent was a smidge under £8k, if you bought one new, you would lose more than that in depreciation. You need to be a business to rent, as opposed to lease, rent covers maintenance and road tax. You could rent different types of van for a week or so at a time, just to see how you get on with them

Diesels will probably get taxed horribly to force people to scrap them, but they're more economical than petrol.
Why buy new - a 2 year old one would save a fair bit.
Electric would be a pain if you can't charge the thing.
Sounds best to get a used petrol one, to me. Japanese, probably.

You COULD buy something electric, as long as you can get HWM to tell you how to charge it from a lamp post..

id Buzz ?
think they weigh something like 3 ton laden (~2.5 ton empty so only 500kg of payload). AFAIK it's not the range, it's the tyre wear.

We are fitting those now, I will take a pic of one when I next install one

There’s been charging lampposts in my mates street in East London for a good few years now. Trouble is, the parking places next to them are not reserved for EV’s.

I see the new Transporter 7 is a Ford Transit.

We are getting them fitted also around the housing estates. There are a few.

Shes going to mention it at a meeting next week.

A lot of work places supply and allow the charging of personal cars. Some make a charge and others give it for free.
