What are the best medium electric vans?

Whether you’re the owner of a fleet of commercial vehicles or just looking for a single vehicle for your business, it can be hard to find the right van for you. The market is giant, and each manufacturer will boast their best features. Electric vans are a great choice for businesses that are on the go a lot, polluting the environment less with their efficiency.

Here at Vanaways, we absolutely love electric vehicles. They’re great for the environment and will improve the image of your business. While we stock hundreds of electric vans, we’ve put together this guide to some of our favourite medium electric vans.

Ford e-Transit

The Ford Transit is such a popular vehicle that it is many people’s first thought when it comes to vans. The electric version of the Transit, the e-Transit, builds on the iconic status of the Transit and offers a great performance.

It has a range of nearly 200 miles on a single charge, though this depends on how much you’re carrying. It is a fully electric vehicle that is available in a multitude of lengths, heights and models so you can find a specific van suited for you.

Renault Trafic E-Tech

The Renault Trafic E-Tech is a great choice if you’re after a medium van due to being comfortable to drive and having a range of around 124 miles on a full charge. The weight of the batteries is spread across the van, leading to better handling than most electric vehicles.

Vauxhall Vivaro-e

The Vauxhall Vivaro-e is based on the diesel Vivaro and switches the diesel engine for an electric motor. The battery pack of the van is under the cargo floor, so the space is not impacted, which is a common complaint in electric versions of vehicles. Depending on which size battery you go for, you can expect a range of between 144 and 200 miles on a full charge.

"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."

"We cannot fault the service we have received from everyone we have dealt with at Vanaways and will definitely by contacting you again when we come to replace our next vehicle……. On the whole, Customer service, these days, I have found to be quite disappointing and frustrating – I wish more companies showed the care and attention to detail that you guys have shown… you have restored my faith in Vehicle sales teams!! I would not hesitate in recommending you and wish all of our suppliers were are easy to deal with as you have been!! Thankyou especially to Shina and Sophie...."

"VWS Limited recently leased three vans through Vanaways, and we could not fault the service we received. Rod in Sales and Ash in Delivery were both extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. They made every aspect of arranging the leases straightforward and kept us informed every step of the way. We are delighted with our new vehicles and would have no hesitation in recommending Vanaways to anyone looking for a professional, efficient, and customer-focused vehicle leasing service.
