How Far Can an Electric Van Drive?

Electric vehicles have made a real impact on the UK van market since they offer a range of eco-friendly benefits including low emissions as well as cheaper running costs. But, if you’re considering a model from an electric van range for commercial use then you’re probably wondering about electric van mileage.

Here’s all you need to know about electric van mileage and how these types of vehicles are run.

How do electric vans run?

Unlike petrol and diesel vans that need to be filled up at the garage, each electric van range has a particular battery capacity that determines how many miles it can do. When the battery is running low, the vehicle will need to be plugged in at an electric van charge station so the power can be topped up.

If you only cover short distances, such as city driving which is ideal for electric vans, then you can charge the van overnight but alternatively, the convenience of charging points means that drivers can plug in during the day too.

How many miles can electric vans cover?

There is often a little uncertainty about electric vans and running out of battery in the middle of a journey, however, the same can be said for petrol and diesel vans. The battery is a big deciding factor when choosing a new vehicle as it must be able to cover the miles you do.

Most electric van mileage is in the region of 90-120 miles while fully charged, however, this will depend on the make and model of the vehicle. An electric van is best suited to short drives, but if long distance trips are something you need to accommodate, as long as you have charging points on your route, there should be no problem. If you’re considering the switch to an electric van, it’s a good idea to make a note of your average miles so you can find a van that matches your needs.

"Very happy with our Vanaways transaction! We needed three new vans quickly for our company and Vanaways didn't disappoint. Hannah and Abbie were on hand every step of the way and provided extremely good prices which suited our business. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows with every phone call and email! When I need a few more, they will be my first port of call. Thankyou guys!"

"Great service right from the first contact with Reece, who then passed me onto Ash once initial sale was completed. From making payment delivery was approximately 3 days. Received text from Nathan this morning (16th June) and he was on time with delivery. Really pleased with the service I've received. Many thanks!"

"Overall dealings were good. Broadly speaking, response to emails could've been more timely. Joe, Snr Cust Service advisor in particular, was very good indeed. Sorted out the paperwork issues promptly. Overall, would recommend."

"First class service, I must mention Adrian & Ash on an excellent deal & swift turn around under the short notice I had to buying a new van. Slight delay in the delivery of the van from manufacturers end but Adrian agreed to cover the cost of a hire van until my new van was delivered which allowed me to continue working. its the first time i've purchased a van without physically entering a dealership and i wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
