That max 205 mile range will turn into imo if your really lucky 100 miles. The other thing nothing was mentioned about how long it will take to charge. Your paying £10000 more for the pleasure of owning very short range EV van oh the joy.

    You have to remember these vehicles are currently designed for the city. I understand what you mean with towing because the weight will use more power but the idea is that you only tow short distances to somewhere like a tip, building merchants etc. There’s no way you could tow a caravan with this but it’s pretty good for an early van. Just imagine what ev vans can be capable if companies put there resources towards electric vehicles.

    It was reading 1.6-1.8 mi/kWh at 40mph. At 1.8 that would be around 135 miles from the big battery and around 90 miles from the smaller one - presuming all that battery is usable. Thats in an empty van with one guy in it. If you travel at motorway speeds that will drop a long way. I would say on a motorway you're going to be looking for a charger after 50-70 miles depending on battery.

Even at 2.5mi/kWh that would only be 125mi from the 50kWh and 187.5 from the 75kWh - all presuming the whole battery is usable which means you're going to be looking for a charger around 100 miles and around 165 miles. 2.5mi/kWh is what it was showing with an average of 31mph so thats the best you're likely to get around town. Also remember this is unloaded, one driver and no rain/ets - all things which affect ev range. At 1.6 it would be 80miles for the small one and 120 miles for the big one. Take out some to find and get to a charger without running out (around 20 miles if you don't like playing Russian roulette) and you're left with 60 or 100 miles. Of course a load and more speed would reduce that. So would rain, cold, etc. The speed is the big range killer. As I said - drive that at 70mph and you're not going to be going too far.

Even from the battery size, weight, CDa and so on you can make a pretty good guess at what its likely to do. When you know what kind of heater it uses, how (if) the battery is cooled and so on you can get fairly close. My point was I have no reason not to agree with that snapshot based on the information available and since an accurate current meter and speedo aren't difficult its fair to assume its not all that far off.

Given EV range is about how long you drive at one time rather than total journey distance, with a little planning 2,500 miles is possible if a little more relaxed in terms of speed they would have done in the past

    @@nicholasfrend2923 not the electric version - from parkers vans - “Are all three new PSA Group electric vans the same? The electric Vauxhall Vivaro-e, the electric Citroen e-Dispatch and the electric Peugeot e-Expert are indeed all variants of the same van, and will share the same electric-drive specification. They will also all be built in the Hordain factory in northern France, using powertrains assembled at the Tremery plant in eastern France.”

    Still wasting you skills and knowledge on reviewing vans Edd. Please please please, watching you do this makes me feel so disappointed for you, get back to showcasing us all your mechanical skills. You're too good for dull van reviews. 👍🏼

    Would love to see white van man go electric... With an option that he can't approach too close to other vehicles when at speed... Add in that 81mph maximum speed limit and life could be a lot safer for non white van drivers...
