Is It Worth Investing In An Electric Van?

Electric vehicles have never been more popular than in 2022, with many makes and models found regularly on the roads and demand only expected to increase as years progress.

Van Sales UK maintains a comprehensive assortment of new and used electric vans, with delivery, finance options and warranties all accounted for. Require a new van for work-related tasks, family transport or delivering cargo? We’re the company to trust.

Continue reading for some top reasons to consider an electric van, as well as examples of some leading models and their features.

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.

Long-Term Thinking When You Buy A Van

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. Additional features and optional extras within vans such as the Renault e-Kangoo L2 make the switch a tempting one.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."

"I recently bought a new car from this company and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Tyler and Steve C were both brilliant to deal with – friendly, professional and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They took the time to answer all my questions and made everything straightforward and stress-free. The customer service was excellent and I never felt pressured at any point. Both Tyler and Steve C really went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted and that I was happy with the car. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would definitely buy from them again in the future. Thanks again for such a great experience!"
