Dear Fully Charged, In 2021 where you guys are pushing for positivity, I thought I would love to extend it with some of mine. Overlooking the whole 2020 thing you guys have done some outstanding work to make it through, I have to say that there are two particular things I think you have executed extraordinarily. There are two series on your channel which I will describe as you have for this one a "Case Study". The first is "Maddie goes Electric" and second "Introduction to Electric Vans" by Andy. These are undoubtedly some of the best work you guys have produced to the EV community over and above the amazing work, you guys are known for. I can not wait to see how you will expand these case studies in the future be that more building infrastructure or ...( I don't know). Keep up the great work, and thank you for everything.

Overnight charging into a 7kW home charger, is absolutely the best way to charge. I've had a 22kWh Renault Zoe since 2014-10 and have only ever charged away from home, once. The new Vauxhall EV vans are killing it - wow - just wow! I wish them every success.

Great stuff, I will never own a van, but everyone on this show has convinced me I should at least have an idea of where the commercial side of it is going. I totally see why commercial/public EVs are where it will all go big.

This looks like a really serious option for many businesses as the range is very reasonable coupled with the ability to fast charge. I can see this having a serious impact, especially for those businesses who can harvest the sun. A taxi conversion may be an interesting option for those towns where a fully custom taxi build is not a requirement.

The van series has been good.

Interested in the mpv as a camper, not a full on conversation but something basic for weekends. Towing opinion is good to as few EVs have that. Got to say I'm liking Andy as a presenter more than I thought I would when he was introduced as the action guy. Maybe due to restrictions but he's proved he can do simple factual content and I like the way he is not bothered about the technical just that it dose what it needs to. I love my MG ZS EV but have no care other than it's a great car to drive and own. Keep up the good work and as a biker can't wait for more motorcycle tests.

Great series - the more utilitarian and value for money electric vehicles on the road every day, the sooner EVs will become the norm and silly range anxiety issues will fade away. Whoever heard of ICE vehicle tests where they regularly run the cars until they run out of fuel?

Love one on my Post Office round, we drive the similar looking Peugeots.

Aye don't really understand how the leaf can get a 62kwh battery but the env200 is stuck at 40kwh. Tem0ted to get one and then get the Muxan UBEX fitted but its a lot of money and a bit of risk getting an aftermarket part fittted. The Vauxhall is more tempting at present with greater size and range, but if the ENV200 could get close to the range of the 75kwh I would switch in a heart beat for cost savings and in the hope of V2H charging takes off being as CHADEMO already supports it.

Much better that’s the van for me.

As someone who drives a van and has just had to buy a new one for my business this video is missing so much about owning a van. All the vans shown except the e-Vivaro are old, some very old! Most vans are not parked up at night in a depot or driveway but on the street so home charging is not an option. By far the biggest problem with electric van take up is the very few fast/rapid chargers available and the cost of using these.

@annepan001

Very true! We need a massive revolution in charging infrastructure for evs to become mainstream. My business has 2 diesels, an electric env200 and a hybrid 4-work outlander. Now considering this vivaro-e as the range is so much bigger than the env200. But I'm out in the sticks, so no problems with running electric cables across the pavement to my van to charge! The other issue I've encountered when I've needed to charge a van out on the road is that the public chargers are not well maintained, so frequently broken down! So we need the govt to pull its finger out and fix the infrastructure issues before banning people from driving their diesel vans through parts of the cities.

So close to being decent replacement for our ICE vans, just a little lacking on the range for our engineers. Around another 50 mile range fully laden would be ideal. Called Vauxhall about these when they were announced and they reckon we'd only get 60 miles out of them so not quite good enough for a small company that covers a wide area. Ideal for large city based companies like British Gas/ BT etc though.

I'm curious what manufactures / models of vans are being displaced by EV vans, versus what EV vans are being used in entirely new positions. I think with EV cars there are a lot of people who are owning an EV as a first time vehicle owner rather than replacing some existing combustion vehicle. The statistics become rather different in terms of environmental impact with EV vans, I think, when compared to private EVs. Furthermore because they're often driven more. Imagine if something as simple as postal delivery vehicles were changed to EV.

Maybe already asked here, and probably a bit early: Will startup 'Canoo' be covered in these episodes?

More vans please Citroen e dispatch versus Toyota

To be more relevant to the US audience, you'll have to cover the large electric vans, like a Sprinter. The dominant van is the Ford Transit. We only really have a transit connect as a small van here and that's it. Medium sized Van's dont exist here really. Instead we use panel MPVs (US minivan)

I somehow doubt these eco modes. EVs do not waste energy in the same way combustion engines do because of overfueling. I feel that an electric motor should keep its efficiency fairly consistently across the speed range, therefore acceleration doesn't matter, you just end up with a slightly lower average speed if you accelerate slower. I think that reduced power is the same as reduced speed. What we need is an energy/mile comparison where, somehow both tests have the same average speed but one is done in high power and the other in eco mode. So in high power you get to a lower speed faster, and in low power mode you have to travel slightly faster to make up for the slow acceleration.

You've a 3 hour drive and you have to stop to charge at least twice while on the clock? I don't see our capitalism cost cutting employers ok'ing that.

But if my employer requires me to for example travel from Doncaster to Reading then on to Taunton ready for a morning appointment the next day 90 or even 150 mile range doesn't cut it. If I have a 400m mile day as I occasionally do I have time to take a break to charge up. Also remember we are on the same side here I'm not here because I'm a petrol head I'm here because I'm an electric vehicle advocate looking for a van that I can suggest to my employer. I can't change what my job that is essentially and I enjoy. But I can influence the choice of next van.

at no point in this did he mention how much they want for charging your ev, its around 44p a kw, so do the math's on a 75 kw
