Electric Vans Explained

Electric vans are the most popular eco-friendly alternative to petrol and diesel vans, providing the convenience, mobility and practicality of a traditional tradesman van, with the benefit of added sustainability and related features. Variations of existing popular vans such as the Ford Transit mean that you can enjoy the experience of using an electric van without having to deal with a drastically different design.

You can actually save money in the long run by swapping your current van for an electric variant, especially so if you opt for a used electric van. Electrical charging outlets can be installed in your home if convenient, meaning your car can be effectively refuelled overnight or at a convenient time.

"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."
