Electric Vans – More than just cargo carriers, they could be part of the grid too!

Up until recently, electric vans have been well…. not very good.

They’ve been great for local businesses that just wanted to make local deliveries on a small scale, but beyond that they just weren’t practical.

Limited by small battery capacities and slow re charging, they were too limited to make sense for business users who carried more, further and more often.

Roll forward a few years and things have finally started to change with news from Tesla about their Truck range, Rivian announcing their Amazon delivery vans and other companies like Arrival and LEVC announcing their new ground up designed delivery vans too.

But that’s not all.

While more modern EV companies like those listed above have made their new EV announcements in the commercial sectors, so too have the regular vehicle manufacturers with their new ranges. The difference here being these are mostly existing vans that have had their Internal Combustion Engines (ICE’s) replaced with Electric motors and batteries.

It looks like 2021 will be the year of the electric van, so lets take a look at why Commercial EV’s could be great for your needs and then take a look at what’s available now and due in the not too distant future in UK & Worldwide showrooms.

What makes Electric Vans a good idea?

  1. Lower Daily Running Costs

Electric vans are considerably cheaper to run than diesel alternatives simply because the cost of electricity per mile is much lower than Diesel and Petrol, and with some free charging locations and offers available, these costs can almost be cut out completely for some.

This, as with many of those listed below is a two fold benefit as it can also make your quotes for work more attractive to potential clients too.

2. Cheaper Maintenance Costs

With fewer moving parts, EV’s require much less maintenance than their ICE counterparts, and while recapturing energy under braking they even reduce brake wear reducing those costs for high mile users too.

3. Easier to drive

EV’s being motor driven improve the driving experience too. With motors providing instant Torque, no gears to work through and regenerative breaking, EV’s provide a relaxed driving experience whether your driving local routes in traffic or longer routes on the Highways.

4. Environmental Benefits

Less waste overall. No Oil replacements, No burning of Fossil Fuels, Less waste when manufactured & scrapped, Less consumables (and therefor waste) to keep them running, Zero Tailpipe emissions, Vehicle longevity (require scrapped less often due to MOT failures) and No noise pollution.

5. Image Boosting

No matter whether you have a single electric van or a whole fleet, your choice demonstrates to your customers that you have an environmental conscience and could make the difference between you being hired over a less environmentally conscious business.

6. Business Incentives & other EV Benefits

In the UK these include the Government Plug-in Van Grant, which is worth up to 20% off the list price (up to a maximum of £8,000), plus reduced tax burdens for both business and private use.

There are even grants towards the cost of Workplace and Home chargers.

The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) provides grant funding of up to 75% towards the cost of installing electric vehicle chargepoints at domestic properties across the UK.

The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is a voucher-based scheme that provides support towards the up-front costs of the purchase and installation of electric vehicle charge-points, for eligible businesses, charities and public sector organisations.

Workplaces can apply for vouchers using the Workplace Charging Scheme application form here.

Other examples of benefits range from free parking in some areas, exemption from Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ’s) charges and even free charging sometimes offered by the vehicle manufacture, as well as local charging points and other schemes.

7. Repairs

With less moving parts and over the air the updates, EV’s are also not only less likely to break down in the first place, but they’re also proving quicker to be repaired, meaning less down time for business owners.

8. Standing benefits

While ICE vehicles are parked at depots, work facilities or at homes around the world, they’re just sitting waiting for the next shift, or working day to break before they become useful again.

But thats not the same for EV’s. EV’s can be useful in many ways during their downtime, for example the following concepts have already been designed and are either ready to use or are going through final tests.

image source Tesla

a. Small Business benefits

On a local scale with a tradesperson pulling in at home and parking up for the night, their van could be useful in many ways.

Firstly they could use the leftover charge in the van as a power source for their home at a time when most power is consumed.

Secondly leftover power stored at the end of the working day could be resold to the grid.

Thirdly the van could act as a backup battery for any additional power generated through home solar or other renewable sources.

Fourthly EV’s could be used as a storage system for the National grid with owners earning from stored power.

No matter what they do while sitting idle, these vehicles could then be charged up ready for work the next day when power is at it’s cheapest a few hours before the new day begins.

b. On a larger Business scale

These concepts basically work in the same way for larger business uses too. As larger firms EV fleets arrive back at their depots,warehouses and factories their total storage capacity becomes extremely useful, as do any reserves of power that can be put to good use too.

Again with this scenario Vans that were out delivering all day can release remaining power for use at their base or to sell back to the grid. For manufacturers or warehouses this could either reduce costs during later hours or become an additional income by selling power back to the grid at a profit. (Charge cheep, sell or use power at higher rates.)

As with smaller businesses, larger firms who also opt to produce their own power with renewables can also utilise their EV fleets as additional battery storage for use as and when they or the National Grid require more power or during those non peak power generating times.

Firms like Amazon have already done the costings on this side and its been a massive part of their decision to place an initial order of 100,000 Rivian delivery trucks to add to their US fleet. UPS have also entered this market by co developing fleet vans with Arrival to be used across the UK & Europe with an initial order of 10,000 and another 10,000 to follow soon after.

9. Working Life

As I mentioned in points 2 & 7, the maintenance and repair costs are far lower due to less moving parts, but that’s not all, with less moving parts there’s less to go wrong as these vehicles age, so these vehicles if looked after will last longer too, which could mean longer leases and cheaper long term ownership.

HOME chargers

A fully installed home charging point costs from £449 with the Government OLEV grant.

Electric car drivers benefit from a £350 OLEV Grant for purchasing and installing a home charger.
Once installed, you only pay for the electricity you use to charge.
The typical electricity rate in the UK is just over 14p per kWh, while on Economy 7 tariffs the typical overnight electricity rate in the UK is 8p per kWh. More Info HERE

Workplace Charging

Workplace charge points can be leased from around £40 per month on a 36 month lease, or alternatively Purchased outright.

The OLEV Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), can reduce the cost of Workplace chargepoints by up to £14,000 with the government WCS grant.

The WCS Grant is capped at £350 per socket, with up to 40 sockets allowed.

WCS Grant Eligibility checklist:

Can be claimed by any business, charity or public authority (back claiming is not possible).
You must have off street parking & be able to outline a business need for electric vehicle chargepoints.
Your chargepoints must be installed by an OLEV-approved installer (like Pod Point).
You must apply for a digital voucher and present it to your chosen installer.

More Info HERE

The Conclusion

It’s simple really, with Government grants to aid Buying EV’s and Installing charge points, and all the benefits listed above, this isn’t a hard decision. Yes E Vans might come with a higher price / lease price, but the running costs are tiny in comparison, just look at your monthly Fuel Costs alone and add them to the monthly price of running a ICE vehicle, now how do those prices look?

The decision really, is which E Van works best for your business and when is the best time for you to swap?

Full Sized Electric Vans are the biggest vans available and offer the most amount of space for hauling loads. Until recently, most current ICE vehicle manufacturers have left electrifying Large vans, mainly due to battery technology not lending itself to their requirements (bulk carrying capacity & range requirements). However with new battery and charging technology improvements, it looks like 2021 – 2022 will see many of these manufacturers releasing their Large Electric van ranges.

Ford E Transit – Image Source

Large Vans – New electric Ford E-Transit (Available 2022)

The New Ford E-Transit will come with a usable 67kWh Battery with an expected range of around 217 miles, although some sources suggest 108 – 126 miles are to be expected. Real life use figures will obviously be more precise once these vans are available for testing. Power comes from a single 266bhp electric motor driving the rear wheels.

The E-Transit also features both AC and DC fast charging with an 11.3kW on-board charger allowing a slow charge in just over eight hours, while DC charging rates of up to 115kW enables a 15% to 80% charge in around 34 minutes. Customers are also given access to the Ford Pass charging network, with around 160,000 chargers globally – many with rapid-charge facilities. The E-Transit can also be used as a mobile power point for tools, providing up to 2.3kW for external equipment, which will prove extremely useful for many trades and businesses.

Usable space is quoted at around 9.5m³ – 15.1m³ with the payload rating up to 1616kg for the van model or 1967kg for the chassis cab variants. Different length height and mass options are available up to a gross vehicle mass of 4.25 tonnes.

Renault Master ZE – Image Source

Large Vans – New Renault Master ZE (Available Now)

The Renault Master ZE will come with a usable 33kWh Battery with an expected range of around 124 miles, although some sources suggest 74miles are to be expected. Power comes from a single 76bhp electric motor.

The Master ZE’s 33kWh pack takes a full charge from a 32-amp power supply in 6 hrs. Rapid-charging the Master ZE still isn’t available as yet so this is something to take into account, however if you plan on charging from a home or commercial premises overnight and your daily journeys are within their ranges, then this shouldn’t be an issue. Speed is limited to a maximum of 62mph with the Master ZE, however you can set this to 50mph if you want to squeeze more range from your van. If you’d like to know more about the Master ZE range, you can use Renaults driving range calculator to see how their vehicles could perform for your needs here.

Payload for the Master ZE is still a respectable 1100kg at its maximum, and load volumes remain unchanged when compared with the standard Renault Master. Buyers can choose from a range of vehicles offering 8m³ – 13m³ of carrying capacity. As well as panel vans, there are two platform cab versions of different lengths, with a maximum payload of 1370kg, that are suitable for high-capacity body conversion to transport up to 19m³.

Large Vans – Mercedes eSprinter (Available Now)

The Mercedes eSprinter will come with a usable 85kWh Battery with an expected range of around 83 – 96 miles, although some sources suggest around 72 miles are to be expected. Power comes from a single 114bhp electric motor driving the front wheels.

Charging time for the eSprinter’s depends on which battery pack you choose and the type of charger you are using. A standard model can take a 20kW charge, under which 80% charge can be added in less than two hours. However, on a standard wallbox with a domestic power supply you’d be looking at an eight-hour charge for the 55kWh battery and six hours for the smaller 41kWh battery. Rapid charging is supported as an option, adding an 80kW charging capability that allows an 80% charge to be added in just 30 minutes.

Unlike other Sprinters, the eSprinter comes in just one size, with a medium-length body and a high roof (L2 H2). Payload for the Mercedes eSprinter is 1045kg at its maximum, with a load volume of 11m³ of carrying capacity.

Towing capacity for the Mercedes eSprinter is currently showing as 0.

New Ground Up Electric Vans are coming with some names you might recognise and some you might not. Unlike traditional ICE manufacturers vans that swap out their existing fossil fuelled models Engines, Gearboxes and other none EV essential kit to make way to retro fit Electric Motors and Batteries, Ground Up electric vehicle manufacturers start with a totally new design and build their vehicles in a way that takes advantage of best placement for the motors and batteries.

Electric ONLY Vans – Arrival Van (Available Summer 2021)

The Arrival Van is designed from the ground up, and can be tailored precisely to individual routes and specific uses – with different heights, lengths and battery capacities available. It’s internal cargo bay is optimised to efficiently carry the most volume and payload on the smallest vehicle footprint possible.

Constructed from a hybrid of aluminium frame and thermoplastic-composite panels, the Arrival Van is much lighter than it’s stamped metal counterparts and It’s body shell is also much more durable and resilient to damage, minimising the need for repairs and ensuring the vehicle is on the road for longer.

Depending on your requirements and options chosen, the Arrival Van can be selected with a 44kWh – 133kWh Battery, and either Front Wheel Drive or All Wheel Drive variants with expected ranges of up to 215 miles. We’ll have to wait until these vans are tested in their differing formats to give precise expected real world ranges.

At the time of writing this article we didn’t have access to the motor configuration of Arrival’s Van.

Charging time for the Arrival Van depends on which battery pack you choose and the type of charger you are using. More information on these figures is due to be released shortly.

Thanks to their skateboard design and V2 model changes, Arrival’s Van now comes in multiple configurations, with a Low Roof short length (H1L1) option on the smaller scale, right up to a Hight Roof Longest Length (H3 L4) and even Chassis Van option.
