Had mine for 2.5yrs now, chippy by trade. Done over 36k miles and had no trouble whatsoever. Just changed the front tyres at 35k. Real world range full loaded with tools and materials is 150miles which is ideal for me as all work id do is within a 50 mile radius. If I'm driving im not earning money. Charge at home 7.5p kWh
Thanks for having us on! If you’re a van driver looking at a new van, make sure you check out the electric options like these - you won’t be disappointed.
14:28 you can leave the van in D and with handbrake off and it will automatically go into P and apply the handbrake when you remove the key from the ignition
Thanks for the interesting review, but after traveling on it for 2 weeks, I identified 3 serious disadvantages of this car, 1. The absence of the auto hold key, 2. There is no digital display of the remaining battery (analog is extremely inconvenient) 3. The speed limit is 130 km/ h, which is very inconvenient on the autobahn, and I would also like a battery for 100 kW per hour, even for an additional fee, but so that there is an opportunity!
Thanks for the comment! I agree that the auto hold is frustrating. On the display you can set it to show remaining range and yes, the speed limiter is not great but I can only imagine the range plummeting with a high speed run.
yes, I agree, but even if Tesla goes 200 km / h, it will not go far, but it has such an opportunity...and one more important point , there is no charge limit in the car , that is , it is always charged to 100 % and it is impossible to limit it somehow ! Or am I wrong?
looks great, I agree the front grill does remind one of the Polestar 2, I like the placement of the charge port- easy to get to if you park head-in but not in an area prone to injury like the front. Battery size seems a bit low, if one is to transport cargo a significant distance.. The wood paneling on the inside of the cargo compartment looked a bit rough/unfinished in the video.. The Cab was nice, very utilitarian. Is there a rear view camera for backing up, I would think that would be a must.
Thanks for the comment Rajeev. There will also be a 75kWh battery offered and yes, there's a rear view camera. I need to remember to cover this in future reviews. The rough panel lining I think is because of commercial aspect but no excuse.
Good sized van for a lot of small trades. Seem to recall seeing an electric Bord Gais van recently. They're owned by the same group as British Gas so it would make sense.
Nice review, i own a compact one, but with keyless entry/start, climate control and a mirror to look back. I Also have a window in the right back door and just 1 door all the way back wich makes the back more symetric. Love the drive of this vans
Nice review. Nice van but needs one pedal mode. Think it's a car for me for range but the practicality of a van is worth a thought or two. Interesting cost comparison. Must look at mozark to see range he gets. Des
I drive one and it is terrible on mileage. I charge on a 7.5 kw charger and fully charged it has 196 miles, but it's more like 150 in the real world. it's a constant worry weather your going to have enough charge to complete your work. It is a lovely drive though. Stalks are fussy and hard to understand and use. That's my thoughts after 6 months use.

Nice, thanks. I didn't know that

Correct, this could be worked around by using a smart charger and setting it on the charger itself
How many Km could you go on one charge?
Thanks for the question@@Fredrik-tq7rz real world driving around 220km
Great to hear from Lee.
I really enjoyed his viewpoint

Thanks for the comment Peter. Great to hear from an owner.
Nice review, great to see more and more electric vans available on the market!
Thank you for sharing! 🔌⚡🚚
Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the review!

Must look at mozark to see range he gets.

Thanks Des. Not as many interested in commercials for sure but they will be the one that makes the difference
I can advise it is the Vivaro-E that British Gas have 👍 nice review mate
Many thanks Paul. Really appreciate the comment

Thanks for the feedback Jason. A constant worry is not good. Do you work for a company or you own it directly?
There is also a bigger battery version 75kw
Hello! Maybe you can tell me how to change the language in the menu and where the auto hold key is located ? Thank you in advance!
Good morning! No auto hold key and language change unfortunately I don't remember. Maybe a quick trip to a local dealer
The chairs in these are absolutely awful, the most uncomfortable mid sized van ive ever driven.
