How far could you go in these electric vans?
On one full charge, most electric vans are far more capable of going the distance than a lot of people think they are
We all know it.
Electric is the future, and with businesses that are keen to make savings, the future is now.
However, range anxiety and the apparent lack of infrastructure are two of the biggest deal breakers when it comes to making the switch to electric.
And a lot of factors affect the manufacturer’s claimed range, such as how much the van is carrying, driving habits and whether you’ve got the air-conditioning blasting cold air.
It’s always worth planning your journey and researching where you can stop to charge your van to avoid the nightmare scenario of a dead battery in the middle of nowhere, causing delays to your work day. There are a number of apps you could use, such as ZapMap, to locate EV chargers that are on your route.
It’s also worth considering workplace charging. If you’re a business that’s working on becoming a greener company, you’ll want to make it easier for your drivers to recharge their vehicles.
Using Google Maps, we’ve looked at the manufacturer’s claimed range of these seven electric vans and have planned a few potential journeys you could make from Exeter, Devon – the home of Carparison HQ – on one full charge.
