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.

Cost And Maintenance

A huge expense when it comes to manual diesel and petrol vehicles is that of fuel, with regular trips to top it up required. 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.

As previously mentioned, the national plans to halt production of diesel and petrol vehicles is seeing many road users make the switch to electric cars and vans earlier than anticipated. Ease of use when it comes to electric vehicles is an added bonus, with many drivers preferring the functionality of an automatic van.

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
