Electric vans

[Munroast]

I have finally went over to the dark-side. My old van is gone and i have got myself an EV Van lol

I quite like it, range is quoted as 170 miles and I think 100 on a cold winters day is very likely. and I do a 100 mile round trip about once per month

most of my journeys are tiny, typicaly 6 x 1½ miles per day, so a new diesel with a DPF was never going to work

mine was ex demonstrator, 255 miles on clock, 18K (the back was so clean it had obviously never had a load in it)

I will have to update my Avatar

You both make good points. Answer thst I was looking for. It is a gamble , maybe not a good enough gamble for me.

Buy it, and stick a genny in the back

today (sun) is its first big test 100 mile
it will only get up to 95% tnight (3 pin plug charging)
be happy if it gets home with 40% remaining ?

range anxiety has already set in


Anxiety ? if I get anxiety can I live on benefits instead of grafting ??? if i get on PIP i could be dring a merc instead of a Spanish van ! this having an EV could be a good thing after all....
