Electric transport became famous for its lower driving costs and since it is becoming more common families and business owners could greatly benefit from getting a roomy electric vehicle with good cargo space. Here are 10 electric vans that already exist in 2018. Would you ever consider getting one of these?
Thank you for being with us and for the suggestion. I will look into this topic, but I am afraid there wont be many options, I barely managed to collect this list. The best scenario for you will be to purchase one of these vans with an extra battery and transform it into a motorhome, just like you suggested.
I have done a lot of research on EVs and technologies that may be applied to them to make electric cars even better, adding solar panels is one of the solution. The only difficulty that has to be addressed is the added weight. Solar panels, converters and extra storage batteries will add more weight to the van, thus reducing its payload capacity and limiting overall range.
I'd love to see more pure electrics (not NEV/LSV) rolled out in the U.S. There is a niche market of senior citizens and others who could use a relatively short range vehicle for most of their driving.
Do you mean something like Renault Zoe? It's compact, it has a decent amount of storage and a driving range that could cover most of city commutes. It's become a best seller in Europe. I wish something like this was rolled out in the USA.
As a senior the Renault Twizy would be great for my requirements running to appointments, shopping, visiting etc. My longest drive is less than 20 miles and then back, but most are much shorter. I understand the Twizy is classified like a MC in some places; I wish it would be available here. I like the Arcimoto too and might consider it as an alternative to the Twizy.

Chrysler has the ultimate EV Minivan, the Portal with a 250 mile range! I don't know why it isn't here on this video? ruclips.net/video/VRKdo7CUuUo/видео.html
I have to agree that many have very limited range. But they still should be of service to the local businesses, but intermittent charging during they day will be a must.
Many delivery services already use these, range doesn't seem to be the main issue, it's the lack of the charging infrastructure. What is the distance between your delivery spots?

The Great Little Mitsubishi Minicab Miev Van was made from 2011 to 2015 and Imho is still a wonderful city delivery van/4 seater, Although available outside Japan only as a Grey Import' The real life range in a hilly city is only about 85kl but that is for my 6 year old version.
Very interesting suggestion, this little guy skipped through my filter when searching for electric vans.If I am not mistaken Mitsubishi has partially put on ice their electric car projects, but hopefully they will go back to bringing some cool models to the market pretty soon. Which of the vans would you chose from the lineup for your current needs?
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews Mitsubishi are now a junior part of Renault Nissan Mitsubishi, and apart from the PHV Outlander, you are correct, I assume they will be back once there is a greater general acceptance of pure EVs.
I'd like some idea how long until we have a 4WD version of an electric van like the Sprinter, that has a decent range so it can be turned into a camper van. Vehicles like the Bollinger 4WD are claiming 200 miles on a single charge, which would be fine.
I am right there with you but I think the big issue is payload weight from listening to the specs. Sounds like electric motors are far less efficient when the vechicle is fully loaded and when do a full camper coversion with all the bells and whistles, sounds like the first gen first round of electric motors just won't cut it. Not to mention how difficult will it be on the electric motor to actually go offraod 4bying. Now the new toyota rav4 hybrid looks promising if you are willing to tent camp and back gear as far as electrics going offroad, tho its not completely electric. It is hybrid but it gets 40mpg and has an all electric motor in the rear that engages as needed. Check it out TFL truck channel has a good review on it. For now my money might be on the new rav4 unless i say screw it and eat the gas and go with a chevy express with some lift and at least a rear locker or very minimum limited slip dif. I live where there is lots of snow in winter so at this point its an awd drive vehicle or rear wheel with good clearence, i don't do any crazy offraoding, and if I ever i could I'm thinking go with like a polaris utv or maybe honda. Seems like 4x4 is rough on vehicles. Either that or get an old 4runner and build it out with upgrades but i don't want to spend 48k on a vehicle i am gonna beat up offraod anyways so yah its a tough call all the way around to me
More range would always be better. But seeing these vehicles is a breakthrough already. Many companies have already switched their vehicle fleet, so city and last mile delivery is predominantly electric (despite the humble range).
Very slightly. Take for example Sion from Sono motors. It is completely covered with panels and is lightweight, but the daily range that is provided by solar is just 20 miles.
being physically disabled an all electric van would be ideal for my needs. Could you do some research on this adaptation of an all electric van. Thank You.
Thank you for stopping by! I believe electric vans, like other vehicles usually come without any factory adaptations and modifications will have to be custom installed afterwards. Since gasoline/electric vans primarily differ only "under the skin" any modifications should be fairly easy-done. One major advantage of EVs that I would like to underline is probably the ease of operation and low maintenance. Some electric cars like Leaf 2.0, for example, are playing around with an idea of "one pedal driving mode" for both acceleration and deceleration (this feature will be available in a year or two). I left the links to manufacturers' website in the description, so you could contact them to learn more about the adaptations you might require. You should also check out this video about camper vans, links of the companies that tuned them are also under the video, and since they managed to turn a van into a home on wheels, they probably should be able to adapt an electric van, too. ruclips.net/video/XzVHc6mIZ6g/видео.html&lc=UgyBxdyrcO2ERAfprRV4AaABAg Have a blessed day and come back to our channel more often!
Our tiny nonprofit seeks an electric van to become a mobile community boathouse, carrying inflatable kayaks to lower-income neighborhood waterfronts within New York City. Might anyone recommend a model that's cheap and perhaps available used while still meeting our goals?
I personally like the Moia, basically it's also a VW van. The range of course is not impressive, but as inner city transportation these are just perfect.

Stupid Question from a new subscriber: Why don’t any of these include solar panels on the roof to extend the distance, recharging it while you are at work? Or what about one of those small marine continuous duty diesel generators? With computer technology why can’t we set the thing in the sun, tell it we will need it again in 8.5 hours, let it do some calculations, charge via solar for as many as it thinks it can, then kick in the generator as needed to be fully charged when we get off of work? I WANT to buy an electrical vehicle but I do not like the idea of getting stranded. I’d like the option to charge it automatically while I’m not driving it.
Welcome to the club! you have a wonderful question. In fact, after posting the episode we actually came across two electric vans equipped with solar panels. The concept seems to be viable, but there are a couple of "buts"1) panels do inflate the price of the vehicle big time, 2) make it heavier, hence, a larger battery is needed to cover the same distance 3)low efficiency. Even if your vehicle stayed in the sun for 8 hours, you would get only 30% of charge, could be less due to the lack of sun. As for the generator... this concept is being widely used on the cargo trucks, many of those have range extenders in the form of diesel generators. Chances are vans with range extenders will be popping out on the market
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews - Thanks for the excellent response! 😁 I was thinking about the vans with all that roof space. 😎 As to cost and weight... one of the options I’m looking at for my airstream are flexible glued down solar panels on the roof which should generate about 300-500 watts depending on time of day. They are thin, light, aerodynamic and cheap. Would it be enough to recharge one of these vans? No clue. Thanks again!
I actually made a video about camping vans recently, where some of the vans had solar panels installed on their roofs. And the power generated by solar panels could only be considered as a supplementary course (as for now).
500 watts per hour will give you 4 kWh in 8 hours, while the batteries on these vans go well over 20-40-60 kWh. Even if you covered all of the available surface with panels, still only a fraction of the energy ,what the electric van needs to run, will be produced. And the bigger the van, the less viable the use of panels becomes, since it doesnt mean it gets particularly more surface area, but the weight increases big time. If you are worried about the range and need an extender, look into this company workhorse.com. Though, as I previously mentioned, you can still use the panels for lighting, recharging your devices etc, they definitely wont hurt when istalled on a camper van
I think it a great idea to make electric vans especially with the price of lithium batteries slowly declining but my thought would be to have a small gas generator as back up for recharging on extended trips. Come on guys lets figure a way to increase our mileage driven...say from southern california to Washington.
There is one vehicle like this in this list Workhorse N-Gen. While this is the only vehicle with this option in this list, there are many similar vans out there. I may make a separate video about them in the future.
Thanks for sharing. I am indeed impressed with that range that you achieved, but I would argue in favor of these electric vans, that have a different use. They are primarily designed for short distance delivery, inner city transportation and with intermittent fasting charging could serve as a great way to make our cities cleaner and quieter .
Yeah, good if you drive 100mi a day, and cheaper to run and maintain. I hope one day we can get away from batteries, however. It's just not practical for a lot of people.
True. Many people will find them inconvenient. For them I would suggest vans with range extenders. They are very efficient and when the charge runs out a diesel generator could be activated. Workhorse N-Gen for example
Its almost there but not quite. I work as a courier in the D.C Metro area. And i truly lust after a delivery van that doesnt burn $50-70 dollars of gas each day that im working. I do like the cargo room and capacity that the general purpose vans listed here have at 200 ~ish cu. ft / 1 ton capacity But that sub 100 mile range is not enough. I dont just make one delivery or even one set of deliveries in a route. (although i know of many business that do and should in theory take full advantage) For my needs i expect to be on the road (or loading/unloading) for an average of 10 hours and depending on traffic and if some late rushes show up as much as 14 hours in a day (including commute from home) while traveling an average of 170-200 miles that includes an upper limit closer to 300 than 200. I understand i am a bit of an edge case scenario. but when the range hits 225 miles for a sub 30k$ price point ... it will disrupt (in a good way) a significant market.
Thanks for this detailed comment. I am pretty sure soon will follow models with larger batteries. And the prices will inevitably go down, when the economy of scale kicks in. What model interested you the most from the video?
W ID Buzz will be almost perfect for a taxi 🚕 range ..but we still have to wait another 4 years until the dream will come true for all the taxi drivers.
There are some other vans that are already available. I've read that some European cities have a taxi service, where most of the fleet is made up by Nissan ENV-200.
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews ..Not very much range in miles ..about 106 it’s not much for Friday night or Saturday when it’s very busy for taxi drivers and NOT much space for family when you take a wellchair ..so it’s NO NO for me.I still Wait for a better performance in the near future.
I think that such range is perfectly suitable for city use. The bigger problem, as for me, is the presence of quick charging stations, not the humble range.
Thank you for your comment! I am glad you were able to find interesting entries on the list. Hopefully we will see more interesting electric vans in the future
I don't remember if I mentioned but most large electric vehicles, including these vans, are mainly suitable for driving within cities. At least until there is a vast charging network available.
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews I don't know if you did either, I'm new to this channel. I kinda gathered that most were aiming for that market, so weren't big on range. But me, I like it as an all purpose vehicle - STEALTH Camper, occasional people mover (though not many people-5 or so), travelling up the Australian Coast, carrying large objects or bulky materials. But mainly to town for work.
I believe the vans that will satisfy your requirements are pretty close to being released. The manufacturers are waiting for the public to accept EVs. After all development of a new model costs a lot and they have to sell tens of thousands of vehicles right away to return the investment.
Now at the start of 2022 it is still impossible to buy an electric van in North-America. There are only promises, but nothing is actually for sale. I called Nissan North-America and there seems to be no plan to sell electric vans here... I hope this will change really soon.
Thank you for you comment. These vans are primarily designed for cargo transportation. If you want to learn more information about each vehicle you can follow the links in the description and visit manufacturers' websites.
It’s pretty weird that all the specs are stated in imperial units despite the fact that nearly all of the vans featured are or will be only available in Europe.
I'm so disappointed in ALL these manufacturers. With all the floor real estate they have to store batteries, anything less than 60kw for 200+ miles is a serious disappointment.
Solar panels on a van sound like a great idea but I think that energy that will be coming from those panels could only be supplementary source for charging.
i was thinking extended range and charging while parked . i understand efficiency solar would be a plus feature for me! i live in sunny southern california!
This idea is brought up by many of my viewers. Solar panels sound like a great idea, too bad the manufacturers aren't in a hurry to add this option. There is one electric vehicle that is fully covered in solar panels (search for sion by sono motors), too bad it's not a van.
Thank you for the feedback and apologies for the mix up. I based my specs on the currently available data on the Nissan's website. Starting spring 2018 the new 40 kWh battery will indeed be installed on ENV200s effectively improving the range to 127 miles in the real world.
Isnt that terrible? Doesn't tesla have min 60kwh?? And some of those engines are such a shit low on power compared to I think 600hp tesla! Aren't vans supposed to be a bit more powerful that 110hp
Right, "if the price was right" ;) Teslas tend to run more expensive due to superior to and build, so many businesses might not be able to afford them and would prefer shorter range and cheaper price
Thanks for your comment. The Sion is here Top 10 Unusual Electric Cars and SUVs That You Must See ruclips.net/video/8iYxlvU7o6g/видео.html Since it is not a van, we chose not to feature it in the video
Anything under 250 miles range is a nonstarter. Vw is the only one with enough range, pitty it's not actually available. Also charging has to be at a minimum of 100kw. Otherwise on any long distance run you have to spend all your time charging. From my real world experience driving electric to little range to slow charging. Untill manufactures get on the right page sales are going to be slow.
These are currently used for city traveling and last mile delivery, don't remember if I actually said it in the video. And current range is sufficient for this type of tasks. However the need for a better charging infrastructure is indeed high.
It is possible to buy e-NV200. The video is titled misleadingly, as one cannot buy any of the other ones no matter how much one "should". A good look into the matter nonetheless.
Thank you for your comment, but I would not say that none of these except the e-NV200 could be bought. In fact the majority of them are either on sale right now, or will become available pretty soon. The only barrier is the limitation to certain markets. For example, Peugeots and Renaults are not available in the US, neither electric nor ICE.
Welcome to our channel! Try following the links in the description to the video to visit manufacturers' websites. There should be contact info to inquire whether the vans could be bought in your country.
Good day. Very often large SUVs have very low MPG rating, so in my opinion if 7-passenger carrying is the only requirement, then a compact van is a rather smart way to go.dont you agree?
not only can a (E)-Van carry up 12 passengers , or more - but a boatload of cargo at the same time vs a suv alltho most people don’t even know that once you carry that many people , you also need to carry a CDL ( commercial driver license ) with a “ passenger endorsement “ without it you might fly under the radar for a while , but in case of an accident you’ll spend bonch o time explaining it to a DOT officer and to your insurance company
why don't you put in a computer and a conveyor motor to assure electric charge distance as the amps could be lost going up hill and it guarantees mileage. this will improve sales by at least fifty percent and prevent returns or even trade ins. that is until the battery is worthless.
I'm looking for a 6-8 seat MPV/minivan, not minibus, with an all electric driveline and decent range/battery pack (250mi/400km +) and availability within the next year or two. I also want something a little less plastic than lets say the e-NV200 and Partner. I also need to be able to tow. I've tried the e-NV2000, I own a Leaf btw, and it's a no go for me. I've been considering the Tesla X, it's expencive and not as practical in the rear as my current Grand Voyager Ltd. Now, the Chrysler Pacifica is about the right size. However, it's not all electric and the hybrid can't tow.
Gotcha. Your reasoning is pretty solid. Unfortunately, I cannot think of an option that will hit all of the check boxes. Hopefully something will come up soon!
The Moia and VW seem nice. Most of the rest seem too underpowered and too low on range for a minivan ( and some will never hit America so pointless to even look at ). The one vehicle that needs a 300+ mile range is the minivan. A car needs maybe 100 or so to go back and forth to work but a minivan is the one vehicle you would want for a road trip. Also for delivering stuff or driving people around you are going to need that 200+ miles. These are hard sales but give me that VW!! Very beautiful but it seems years out from availability. I think VW has some huge hits in the near future with their ID Buzz vehicles and so does Honda. Then people can stop buying ugly Nissan Leafs and upgrade the style of non-Tesla EVs.
@@automotiveterritory I know but they should at least have the same specs as cars out right now. They have more room for more batteries. It is almost like they specced them low on purpose so they wouldn't sell too good. It would be like putting a naturally aspirated 3 cylinder engine and a 5 gallon tank and trying to sell that to a business or family. Wouldn't fly. Look at the Ford Transit Connect Electric. The specs on that are about as good as some of these but it is 6 years old (80 mile range vs 100+/-). The company who were making the conversions for Ford had to file Bankruptcy probably due to low demand. I think in the real world they got like 60 miles in range... Thats enough to get to one job maybe two then hopefully get back home :)
The price of Electric car should be less than the ICE to make it success .I prefer to buy an ICE instead of electric car . Electric cars are only for rich people
Tried to get more information from the websites and it's as if the companies don't want to sell these vehicles. It's 2020 and websites are still trash. Lots of sales talk but hardly any real information. Where are the locations for charging in Europe, as 400 across the whole of Europe is hardly reasonable coverage. They're lazy as they know governments will force us to use these vehicles, even though none of them can compete with the 2013 Tesla and are more expensive. If Tesla keep fixating on the USA market (we don't buy pick ups in the same numbers), they are doomed to repeat the other USA manufacturers boom and bust. Betamax was better than VHS, but it went out of business in the home market. I want a Tesla 3 but as a minibus/MPV, none of these fit.
@@automotiveterritory Using the same platform as the uprated cars a minibus would be a seller. I do tours that have trips of less than 45 miles between stops of at least 1/2 hour, so if each stop had charging points it would easily work. Each stop is also a main tourist spot so would have uses in the 'off season'. It would mitigate local pollution in places like Bath, Oxford etc. There are already large electric buses, so why not. If there were overhead cables to treat the bus as a trolley bus inside towns/cities this would also add to their use and range. Like going back to London and other cities, pre 2 Nd world war... progress?
I'm all for electric vehicle in general. Just can't understand why they don't up their game. Media is trying to put Tesla down, but they are ahead of these bigger companies by a hundreds of miles.
When tesla can go 370 miles... why are all these other companies only around 100...?? I'd love an electric camper van - but 100 miles won't get you far 😒😒
@@automotiveterritory not yet - they're making one for the Boring company. ...my comment is more about the distance tesla can go while these other makers are basically still making cars that can only be used in cities - not long distance. My dream? All electric vehicles going 500 miles/800+ km in one charge! 🥰🥰 one day soon I think 👍👍
In reality, commercial city vans do not need to cover more than 60 miles a day, so these ranges are quite adequate and allow to save on the battery size, hence lower prices
Looks are significant for any vehicle one chooses to drive - from a bicycle to a skateboard, from a motorboat to a car, and yes, even a van. We express ourselves through design. The clothes we wear, shoes, purses, watches, phones. I drive an '85 Chevy G20 van and it looks incredible. I'd rather spend money on the gas it uses than drive around in one of the pill boxes shown in this video. Even the VW model falls short of their own design standards. Don't get me wrong - I am very excited by this new age of electric vehicles and what it means for the environment and noise pollution. But I think we should always be conscious of style. We spend a large portion of our lives behind the wheel on the road!
I respect your opinion, probably to me the design aspect is somewhat less significant. Plus I wouldn't say there are plenty of new gas vans of today that have drastically more beautiful exterior designs. Do you know any examples that would change my mind?
It doesn't sound authentic. Which could possibly create a mistrust in the content. I'm sure you've got a lovely voice and thank you for your hard work.
If a golf cart is the first thing that comes to your mind when thinking about EVs, then you have missed lots of important changes on the automotive market.
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews. let's say for instance your vehicle cost 48,+ and I'm just going on a low note your insurance will cost $360 month X by 12=4,320 that's one year mostly speaking they going to give you back the same rate $4,320×12=51,840 so technically speaking you just overpaid on a electric car
So technically these are just your assumptions go and don't have a quote from an insurance company proving that the "insurance would cost more than the car"?
First of all, I'm having a conversation with a person. Second of all, insurance companies differ, as well as there are different policies in different countries.
How can the ICE be superior? Many companies are going electric for last mile delivery, so people in cities could get a breath of fresh air, it's also better economically to choose electric for city driving.
Once again, you telling that it is superior doesn't change anything. If you have had time to read comments on this page, then you have probably learned my point of view and facts that prove the superiority of electric motors. You in your turn just say that "there are many reasons", while state zero of your reasons (they probably don't exist or your haven't made them up yet).
we all go electric...this is a bull..... how do we produce the electricity????low gas consuption but high gas polluting levels from producing the electricity...
Why would I care to answer, if you don't even want me too. You don't need me to answer, just look up the stats. You'd be surprised that that are countries that get over 50% of energy from renewables.

I have done a lot of research on EVs and technologies that may be applied to them to make electric cars even better, adding solar panels is one of the solution. The only difficulty that has to be addressed is the added weight. Solar panels, converters and extra storage batteries will add more weight to the van, thus reducing its payload capacity and limiting overall range.

The market is developing very quickly. New models are coming out regularly, so we may gain access to better and more affordable electric vans soon.
So happy that there are electric vans on the market! I hope to find one that I can live a nomadic lifestyle in.
It's awesome to see them in existence already. Now we just wait them to become more affordable and long lasting in terms of range.

Among the latest Mitsu projects I kinda liked the e-Evolution electric crossover, could be a fun vehicle.
I'd like some idea how long until we have a 4WD version of an electric van like the Sprinter, that has a decent range so it can be turned into a camper van. Vehicles like the Bollinger 4WD are claiming 200 miles on a single charge, which would be fine.
We are all excited about the Bollinger truck/SUV. But somehow it takes so long for them to bring it to market.
I am right there with you but I think the big issue is payload weight from listening to the specs. Sounds like electric motors are far less efficient when the vechicle is fully loaded and when do a full camper coversion with all the bells and whistles, sounds like the first gen first round of electric motors just won't cut it. Not to mention how difficult will it be on the electric motor to actually go offraod 4bying. Now the new toyota rav4 hybrid looks promising if you are willing to tent camp and back gear as far as electrics going offroad, tho its not completely electric. It is hybrid but it gets 40mpg and has an all electric motor in the rear that engages as needed. Check it out TFL truck channel has a good review on it. For now my money might be on the new rav4 unless i say screw it and eat the gas and go with a chevy express with some lift and at least a rear locker or very minimum limited slip dif. I live where there is lots of snow in winter so at this point its an awd drive vehicle or rear wheel with good clearence, i don't do any crazy offraoding, and if I ever i could I'm thinking go with like a polaris utv or maybe honda. Seems like 4x4 is rough on vehicles. Either that or get an old 4runner and build it out with upgrades but i don't want to spend 48k on a vehicle i am gonna beat up offraod anyways so yah its a tough call all the way around to me
How about having a look at the new

A really cool retro electric van
It's a really nice one. I talked about it in my newer video about electric vans
Sigh, they need to be putting at least 60KWH battery packs in these vans. Compliance vehicles, give us EV vans with a decent range !!!
More range would always be better. But seeing these vehicles is a breakthrough already. Many companies have already switched their vehicle fleet, so city and last mile delivery is predominantly electric (despite the humble range).
Very slightly. Take for example Sion from Sono motors. It is completely covered with panels and is lightweight, but the daily range that is provided by solar is just 20 miles.
It wod be nice if you update the List to the currently Year. I wod love to see it.
Sounds like a nice idea. I will see what I can do.
I would already be happy if VW could make the decision to sell the T5 or T6 van here in Canada 🤷♂️
being physically disabled an all electric van would be ideal for my needs. Could you do some research on this adaptation of an all electric van. Thank You.
Thank you for stopping by! I believe electric vans, like other vehicles usually come without any factory adaptations and modifications will have to be custom installed afterwards. Since gasoline/electric vans primarily differ only "under the skin" any modifications should be fairly easy-done. One major advantage of EVs that I would like to underline is probably the ease of operation and low maintenance. Some electric cars like Leaf 2.0, for example, are playing around with an idea of "one pedal driving mode" for both acceleration and deceleration (this feature will be available in a year or two). I left the links to manufacturers' website in the description, so you could contact them to learn more about the adaptations you might require. You should also check out this video about camper vans, links of the companies that tuned them are also under the video, and since they managed to turn a van into a home on wheels, they probably should be able to adapt an electric van, too. ruclips.net/video/XzVHc6mIZ6g/видео.html&lc=UgyBxdyrcO2ERAfprRV4AaABAg Have a blessed day and come back to our channel more often!

Stupid Question from a new subscriber: Why don’t any of these include solar panels on the roof to extend the distance, recharging it while you are at work? Or what about one of those small marine continuous duty diesel generators? With computer technology why can’t we set the thing in the sun, tell it we will need it again in 8.5 hours, let it do some calculations, charge via solar for as many as it thinks it can, then kick in the generator as needed to be fully charged when we get off of work?
I WANT to buy an electrical vehicle but I do not like the idea of getting stranded. I’d like the option to charge it automatically while I’m not driving it.
Welcome to the club! you have a wonderful question. In fact, after posting the episode we actually came across two electric vans equipped with solar panels. The concept seems to be viable, but there are a couple of "buts"1) panels do inflate the price of the vehicle big time, 2) make it heavier, hence, a larger battery is needed to cover the same distance 3)low efficiency. Even if your vehicle stayed in the sun for 8 hours, you would get only 30% of charge, could be less due to the lack of sun. As for the generator... this concept is being widely used on the cargo trucks, many of those have range extenders in the form of diesel generators. Chances are vans with range extenders will be popping out on the market
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews - Thanks for the excellent response! 😁 I was thinking about the vans with all that roof space. 😎 As to cost and weight... one of the options I’m looking at for my airstream are flexible glued down solar panels on the roof which should generate about 300-500 watts depending on time of day. They are thin, light, aerodynamic and cheap. Would it be enough to recharge one of these vans? No clue. Thanks again!
I actually made a video about camping vans recently, where some of the vans had solar panels installed on their roofs. And the power generated by solar panels could only be considered as a supplementary course (as for now).
500 watts per hour will give you 4 kWh in 8 hours, while the batteries on these vans go well over 20-40-60 kWh. Even if you covered all of the available surface with panels, still only a fraction of the energy ,what the electric van needs to run, will be produced. And the bigger the van, the less viable the use of panels becomes, since it doesnt mean it gets particularly more surface area, but the weight increases big time. If you are worried about the range and need an extender, look into this company workhorse.com. Though, as I previously mentioned, you can still use the panels for lighting, recharging your devices etc, they definitely wont hurt when istalled on a camper van
I think it a great idea to make electric vans especially with the price of lithium batteries slowly declining but my thought would be to have a small gas generator as back up for recharging on extended trips. Come on guys lets figure a way to increase our mileage driven...say from southern california to Washington.
There is one vehicle like this in this list Workhorse N-Gen. While this is the only vehicle with this option in this list, there are many similar vans out there. I may make a separate video about them in the future.

Thanks for the reply, must have missed it. 👍🏼

Good news is Mercedes Benz got some new vans
I'm closely monitoring the changes on the EV market. So whenever I see something new, I'll let you know.
Its a wonderful shift
indeed. Any vehicle gets improved when equipped with an electric powertrain!
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews that's so true
Meanwhile my old 1994 Astro van got 625 miles (actually did this) on one fill-up.
Thanks for sharing. I am indeed impressed with that range that you achieved, but I would argue in favor of these electric vans, that have a different use. They are primarily designed for short distance delivery, inner city transportation and with intermittent fasting charging could serve as a great way to make our cities cleaner and quieter .
Yeah, good if you drive 100mi a day, and cheaper to run and maintain. I hope one day we can get away from batteries, however. It's just not practical for a lot of people.
True. Many people will find them inconvenient. For them I would suggest vans with range extenders. They are very efficient and when the charge runs out a diesel generator could be activated. Workhorse N-Gen for example
Its almost there but not quite. I work as a courier in the D.C Metro area.
And i truly lust after a delivery van that doesnt burn $50-70 dollars of gas each day that im working.
I do like the cargo room and capacity that the general purpose vans listed here have at 200 ~ish cu. ft / 1 ton capacity
But that sub 100 mile range is not enough. I dont just make one delivery or even one set of deliveries in a route. (although i know of many business that do and should in theory take full advantage) For my needs i expect to be on the road (or loading/unloading) for an average of 10 hours and depending on traffic and if some late rushes show up as much as 14 hours in a day (including commute from home) while traveling an average of 170-200 miles that includes an upper limit closer to 300 than 200.
I understand i am a bit of an edge case scenario. but when the range hits 225 miles for a sub 30k$ price point ... it will disrupt (in a good way) a significant market.
Thanks for this detailed comment. I am pretty sure soon will follow models with larger batteries. And the prices will inevitably go down, when the economy of scale kicks in. What model interested you the most from the video?
W ID Buzz will be almost perfect for a taxi 🚕 range ..but we still have to wait another 4 years until the dream will come true for all the taxi drivers.
There are some other vans that are already available. I've read that some European cities have a taxi service, where most of the fleet is made up by Nissan ENV-200.
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews ..Not very much range in miles ..about 106 it’s not much for Friday night or Saturday when it’s very busy for taxi drivers and NOT much space for family when you take a wellchair ..so it’s NO NO for me.I still Wait for a better performance in the near future.
I think that such range is perfectly suitable for city use. The bigger problem, as for me, is the presence of quick charging stations, not the humble range.
Only the Moia and the VW look at all interesting.
Thank you for your comment! I am glad you were able to find interesting entries on the list. Hopefully we will see more interesting electric vans in the future
Not enough range for me.
I like vans as a multipurpose vehicle.
I don't remember if I mentioned but most large electric vehicles, including these vans, are mainly suitable for driving within cities. At least until there is a vast charging network available.
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews
I don't know if you did either, I'm new to this channel.
I kinda gathered that most were aiming for that market, so weren't big on range.
But me, I like it as an all purpose vehicle - STEALTH Camper, occasional people mover (though not many people-5 or so), travelling up the Australian Coast, carrying large objects or bulky materials. But mainly to town for work.
I believe the vans that will satisfy your requirements are pretty close to being released. The manufacturers are waiting for the public to accept EVs. After all development of a new model costs a lot and they have to sell tens of thousands of vehicles right away to return the investment.
I have a toy estar electric van and I'm shook when I found out it a real vehicle
So far, it's mercedes e sprinter with raised roof and extended rear, for micro motor home
Are you hoping on making such a conversion yourself?
Now at the start of 2022 it is still impossible to buy an electric van in North-America. There are only promises, but nothing is actually for sale. I called Nissan North-America and there seems to be no plan to sell electric vans here... I hope this will change really soon.
That's very unfortunate. Hopefully the industry picks up the pace soon.
What about offroad 4x4 electric vehicles ?
There are some interesting models I want to talk about. I'm planning on making a release like that in the future.

Thank you for you comment. These vans are primarily designed for cargo transportation. If you want to learn more information about each vehicle you can follow the links in the description and visit manufacturers' websites.
It’s pretty weird that all the specs are stated in imperial units despite the fact that nearly all of the vans featured are or will be only available in Europe.

I am interested in 12 person electrical vans
I will have to check but I don't think models like this are available today
I'm so disappointed in ALL these manufacturers. With all the floor real estate they have to store batteries, anything less than 60kw for 200+ miles is a serious disappointment.
Compared to regular electric cars these are larger vehicles too. With more weight to carry they need more power, don't they?
Which of these are available in USA?
There's a list of links, where you can learn more about every model that is shown in this video.
nice, thank you!
Which of the vans did you like the most?
We need fast acceleration and great handling ambulance, live matters
Great idea. It would also be great for them for have a small range extender, just in case.
now if you can just combine it with solar panels! vw my favorite
Solar panels on a van sound like a great idea but I think that energy that will be coming from those panels could only be supplementary source for charging.
i was thinking extended range and charging while parked . i understand efficiency solar would be a plus feature for me! i live in sunny southern california!
This idea is brought up by many of my viewers. Solar panels sound like a great idea, too bad the manufacturers aren't in a hurry to add this option. There is one electric vehicle that is fully covered in solar panels (search for sion by sono motors), too bad it's not a van.
thx

Nissan is now 40kw battery
Thank you for the feedback and apologies for the mix up. I based my specs on the currently available data on the Nissan's website. Starting spring 2018 the new 40 kWh battery will indeed be installed on ENV200s effectively improving the range to 127 miles in the real world.
Isnt that terrible? Doesn't tesla have min 60kwh??
And some of those engines are such a shit low on power compared to I think 600hp tesla!
Aren't vans supposed to be a bit more powerful that 110hp

Are these vans available in Canada?
I have left the links to all manufacturer's websites in the description, so you can possibly esquire this information from the manufacturers directly.
@@automotiveterritory Thanks!
You are welcome!
Anything under 250 miles range is a nonstarter. Vw is the only one with enough range, pitty it's not actually available. Also charging has to be at a minimum of 100kw. Otherwise on any long distance run you have to spend all your time charging. From my real world experience driving electric to little range to slow charging. Untill manufactures get on the right page sales are going to be slow.
These are currently used for city traveling and last mile delivery, don't remember if I actually said it in the video. And current range is sufficient for this type of tasks. However the need for a better charging infrastructure is indeed high.
It is possible to buy e-NV200. The video is titled misleadingly, as one cannot buy any of the other ones no matter how much one "should". A good look into the matter nonetheless.
Thank you for your comment, but I would not say that none of these except the e-NV200 could be bought. In fact the majority of them are either on sale right now, or will become available pretty soon. The only barrier is the limitation to certain markets. For example, Peugeots and Renaults are not available in the US, neither electric nor ICE.

Right now they have sufficient range for last mile and city delivery, this is what they will be primarily used for today.
Vans that only seat 7 is a waste, especially when there's SUV's that seat 8.
Good day. Very often large SUVs have very low MPG rating, so in my opinion if 7-passenger carrying is the only requirement, then a compact van is a rather smart way to go.dont you agree?
not only can a (E)-Van carry up 12 passengers , or more - but a boatload of cargo at the same time vs a suv
alltho most people don’t even know that once you carry that many people , you also need to carry a CDL ( commercial driver license ) with a “ passenger endorsement “
without it you might fly under the radar for a while , but in case of an accident you’ll spend bonch o time explaining it to a DOT officer and to your insurance company

After many requests I am using multiple units of measurements in my newer videos.
why don't you put in a computer and a conveyor motor to assure electric charge distance as the amps could be lost going up hill and it guarantees mileage. this will improve sales by at least fifty percent and prevent returns or even trade ins. that is until the battery is worthless.

In short, no decent MPVs any time soon...
Thank you for your feedback. Would you say that these vans do not satisfy your daily business/family needs? Why so?
I'm looking for a 6-8 seat MPV/minivan, not minibus, with an all electric driveline and decent range/battery pack (250mi/400km +) and availability within the next year or two. I also want something a little less plastic than lets say the e-NV200 and Partner. I also need to be able to tow.
I've tried the e-NV2000, I own a Leaf btw, and it's a no go for me.
I've been considering the Tesla X, it's expencive and not as practical in the rear as my current Grand Voyager Ltd. Now, the Chrysler Pacifica is about the right size. However, it's not all electric and the hybrid can't tow.
Gotcha. Your reasoning is pretty solid. Unfortunately, I cannot think of an option that will hit all of the check boxes. Hopefully something will come up soon!
The Moia and VW seem nice. Most of the rest seem too underpowered and too low on range for a minivan ( and some will never hit America so pointless to even look at ). The one vehicle that needs a 300+ mile range is the minivan. A car needs maybe 100 or so to go back and forth to work but a minivan is the one vehicle you would want for a road trip. Also for delivering stuff or driving people around you are going to need that 200+ miles. These are hard sales but give me that VW!! Very beautiful but it seems years out from availability. I think VW has some huge hits in the near future with their ID Buzz vehicles and so does Honda. Then people can stop buying ugly Nissan Leafs and upgrade the style of non-Tesla EVs.
The technology progresses and it is likely that we are going to see longer range vans soon.
@@automotiveterritory I know but they should at least have the same specs as cars out right now. They have more room for more batteries. It is almost like they specced them low on purpose so they wouldn't sell too good. It would be like putting a naturally aspirated 3 cylinder engine and a 5 gallon tank and trying to sell that to a business or family. Wouldn't fly. Look at the Ford Transit Connect Electric. The specs on that are about as good as some of these but it is 6 years old (80 mile range vs 100+/-). The company who were making the conversions for Ford had to file Bankruptcy probably due to low demand. I think in the real world they got like 60 miles in range... Thats enough to get to one job maybe two then hopefully get back home :)
It could be that extra weight and carrying capacity may be influencing the range more than we expect it.
@@automotiveterritory Yea you could be right . Maybe after the next big battery revolution.
Batteries are getting better year after year. So hopefully we won't have to wait for long.
The price of Electric car should be less than the ICE to make it success .I prefer to buy an ICE instead of electric car . Electric cars are only for rich people
Why should it be cheaper than the ICE? Electric cars have little to no running costs, just treat it like a a long-term investment.
Tried to get more information from the websites and it's as if the companies don't want to sell these vehicles. It's 2020 and websites are still trash. Lots of sales talk but hardly any real information. Where are the locations for charging in Europe, as 400 across the whole of Europe is hardly reasonable coverage. They're lazy as they know governments will force us to use these vehicles, even though none of them can compete with the 2013 Tesla and are more expensive. If Tesla keep fixating on the USA market (we don't buy pick ups in the same numbers), they are doomed to repeat the other USA manufacturers boom and bust. Betamax was better than VHS, but it went out of business in the home market.
I want a Tesla 3 but as a minibus/MPV, none of these fit.
Do you think that Tesla should try entering one more segment by producing an all-electric bus?
@@automotiveterritory
Using the same platform as the uprated cars a minibus would be a seller. I do tours that have trips of less than 45 miles between stops of at least 1/2 hour, so if each stop had charging points it would easily work. Each stop is also a main tourist spot so would have uses in the 'off season'. It would mitigate local pollution in places like Bath, Oxford etc. There are already large electric buses, so why not. If there were overhead cables to treat the bus as a trolley bus inside towns/cities this would also add to their use and range. Like going back to London and other cities, pre 2 Nd world war... progress?
Clever thinking. We'll get there
Mer Vito 60mile range fully loaded. what a joke. cant even get to my 2 hours drive campsite on one charge.
Appreciate your comment. Hope the ranges of these vans will keep growing and they will be able to match your needs. Did you like any other model?
I'm all for electric vehicle in general. Just can't understand why they don't up their game. Media is trying to put Tesla down, but they are ahead of these bigger companies by a hundreds of miles.
True. But I won't be able to answer your question. Tesla seems to be pulling through and others will have no other choice but to catch up

My dream? All electric vehicles going 500 miles/800+ km in one charge! 🥰🥰 one day soon I think 👍👍
In reality, commercial city vans do not need to cover more than 60 miles a day, so these ranges are quite adequate and allow to save on the battery size, hence lower prices
@@automotiveterritory understood - but I would like to convert one into a camper! 😀 So, would love a longer distance. One day 👍👍
Yep. Won't deny that campers should have bigger batteries, plus diesel generators and solar panels for longer trips can be a partial solution as well
Not much on looks, these vans.
True, but after all, are these looks that significant for vans?
Looks are significant for any vehicle one chooses to drive - from a bicycle to a skateboard, from a motorboat to a car, and yes, even a van. We express ourselves through design. The clothes we wear, shoes, purses, watches, phones. I drive an '85 Chevy G20 van and it looks incredible. I'd rather spend money on the gas it uses than drive around in one of the pill boxes shown in this video. Even the VW model falls short of their own design standards. Don't get me wrong - I am very excited by this new age of electric vehicles and what it means for the environment and noise pollution. But I think we should always be conscious of style. We spend a large portion of our lives behind the wheel on the road!
I respect your opinion, probably to me the design aspect is somewhat less significant. Plus I wouldn't say there are plenty of new gas vans of today that have drastically more beautiful exterior designs. Do you know any examples that would change my mind?
But my point wasn't about new model gas vans. It was about the lack of vision in terms of design on the new and proposed electric vans in this video.

Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews. let's say for instance your vehicle cost 48,+ and I'm just going on a low note your insurance will cost $360 month X by 12=4,320 that's one year mostly speaking they going to give you back the same rate $4,320×12=51,840 so technically speaking you just overpaid on a electric car
So technically these are just your assumptions go and don't have a quote from an insurance company proving that the "insurance would cost more than the car"?
