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.

"Staff here are so courteous & helpful, genuine in how they talk rather than that dreaded ‘business speak’. Reception and offices are modern & relaxing to be in, very cool music in background too! Some place just give you the basics - but I found Vanaways completely charming throughout, really appreciated thank you."
