LIKE if you think all vans should be electric and SHARE if you're excited about electric vehicles.
In this episode Andy looks at what's on the horizon for electric vans, both in the short and medium term, but also what advancements we might see in the future. Andy talks to van expert, Paul Kirby, to find out more about the influx of electric vans we can expect to see come to market over the next year including the impressive Mercedes eVito. The eVito is smooth to drive and delivers the luxury you would expect from Mercedes and, while the price reflects this, there are many grants available to make this more affordable. He also sneaks a visit to the ARRIVAL workshop to speak with a special guest (spoiler - it's Robert) about the innovative design of ARRIVAL's delivery vans and how viable commercial electric vans could be if you add in vehicle-to-grid charging and solar energy. What feels certain is that the next generation of vans must, and will, be electric. Fully Charged is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.
