How Far Can an Electric Van Drive?

Electric vehicles have made a real impact on the UK van market since they offer a range of eco-friendly benefits including low emissions as well as cheaper running costs. But, if you’re considering a model from an electric van range for commercial use then you’re probably wondering about electric van mileage.

Here’s all you need to know about electric van mileage and how these types of vehicles are run.

How do electric vans run?

Unlike petrol and diesel vans that need to be filled up at the garage, each electric van range has a particular battery capacity that determines how many miles it can do. When the battery is running low, the vehicle will need to be plugged in at an electric van charge station so the power can be topped up.

If you only cover short distances, such as city driving which is ideal for electric vans, then you can charge the van overnight but alternatively, the convenience of charging points means that drivers can plug in during the day too.

How many miles can electric vans cover?

There is often a little uncertainty about electric vans and running out of battery in the middle of a journey, however, the same can be said for petrol and diesel vans. The battery is a big deciding factor when choosing a new vehicle as it must be able to cover the miles you do.

Most electric van mileage is in the region of 90-120 miles while fully charged, however, this will depend on the make and model of the vehicle. An electric van is best suited to short drives, but if long distance trips are something you need to accommodate, as long as you have charging points on your route, there should be no problem. If you’re considering the switch to an electric van, it’s a good idea to make a note of your average miles so you can find a van that matches your needs.

"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."

"First time leasing with Vanaways, but have leased before. Initial contact was with Justin, who found the van I need very quickly at a competitive price. No hard sell, and seamless. Yasmine completed the admin and arranged delivery. Great service from both. Follow up calls to see if I was satisfied with van. Professional and efficient, would highly recommend."

"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!"
