These new electric motors produce almost instantaneous torque, so your van will have no trouble at all with pulling heavy cargo. So, for a boxer van, the electric motor is perfect. So, how do these two vans compare with their electric motors?
The Boxer Luton has a 90kW electric motor. This motor has an incredible amount of torque and will certainly provide enough power for your van. These motors are incredibly reliable and certainly have a brilliant reputation in the vehicle world. In fact, this van is capable of a very impressive 154 miles on one charge. This statistic coupled with the many electric charging points which can be found dotted around the UK makes this electric van a brilliant choice for anyone looking.
As for the Volkswagen E-Crafter, it also has a brilliant electric motor. Naturally, VW has not cut corners when it comes to the quality of the motor. It is impeccably reliable and laden with horsepower and torque. What’s more, it is capable of 107 miles on a single charge.
