10 electric vans for work and leisure



Whether for private individuals or companies, electric vans enable the emission-free transport of goods and commodities. In this article, we will introduce you to the 10 best electric vans and explain what you should consider when buying such a vehicle.

Electric delivery vans: These are the advantages

Whether you have a demanding hobby like kitesurfing and need to have all your equipment with you for the sport, have a small business and transport a lot of tools or just need a lot of space for family and luggage: A van can be the right solution for many. Even better if it's a commercial vehicle that buzzes around emission-free. In the meantime, there is a great selection of different models. From pure electric transporters to flexibly convertible, purely electrically powered commercial vehicles for families.

What do you need to consider when buying an electric commercial vehicle?

You don't have to be a craftsman with a company to choose an electric delivery van or an electric panel van. The practical vans are ready for almost any use - whether for families, sports enthusiasts or smaller companies. Of course, when it comes to equipment, luxury and design, you have to make compromises. In return, you get a lot of loading space and a robust vehicle for your money. Before deciding on a particular model, pay attention to your needs and these criteria:

  • Range of the electric delivery van (depending on the application, there are already ranges of over 400 km).
  • How big does the loading area have to be?
  • How high should the maximum payload be?
  • How quickly should your electric van be ready to drive/charged?

Good to know: In winter, the range of electric cars decreases. Therefore, make sure that you plan enough reserves to arrive at your destination without any problems.
