In an attempt to catch up with the tightening emissions regulations, manufacturers of last mile delivery vans and small passenger models are rapidly upping their game. With Amazon taking the Climate Pledge we can safely assume that others will follow, so the torrent of EV vans will continue to grow. In today’s video we will be showing you the freshest models out there.

The Morris JE is beautiful!
I will take the Ford Cargo but need at least 350 miles per charge. Get me there soon!
That Canoo MPDV looks like a giant Lego van
Wonder how much these vans cost.
If you take the potato out of your mouth, people will understand you!
What a bloody irritating voice – what sort of robotic shit is this?
The Ora
Nice all e vans.
Battery cars are only for children to play on the driveway. 1/2 hour later, abandonned with a flat battery.
Ford e-transit all the way. Unless Mercedes could make the sprinter a hybrid
Go Green
Full EVs are going to fall on their face, synthesized fuel will take over as the cheapest and most environmentally friendly
Is the LEVC 100% electric?
That front grill and lights on that blue van is uglier than my mother in law..
I’m a mover.
Where is a box truck 26’ that’s electric?
Hydrogen is the future, not EV. 60,000 plus on an EV or23,000 for a regular van that I can fill up in 5 minutes and do another 500 miles per tank.
See what actual range you get in the real world, then see what you get after 2/3 years.
I will guess 70 percent. Thats 60 miles less on a 200 mile range from new van.
To increase available mileage between battery charging would it be possible to just exchange the spent battery for a fully charged one quickly and easily at a ‘refuelling station’? A bit like filling the tank at a gas station, just unplug and wheel out the ‘empty’ battery, wheel in and plug in a ‘full’ one. Cost would include the expected lifespan/replacement of the battery with the price of recharging. Result = no distance limitations!
The Canoo is the coolest!
Arrival has really thought this out ??
It needs a ducted wind turbine on the roof to extend the range !
All the retards in my neighbourhood are now being driven around in an electric short bus. The future is going to be amazing!
Narration begins: “In an attempt to kyitchup…”
What an odd accent. Never heard that?
The brainwashing is working, it seems most people are calling electric vehicles 'zero emissions' which by any stretch of the imagination they are not. In the U.K. they are fed with gas generated electricity. They are not even low emissions.
The crux of this is that they add demand to the grid and all extra demand is met by gas and coal generation, but predominately gas. The government is mistakenly using a figure of about 70Kg CO2 per Megawatt hour as a grid average but this is wrong and does not take into account the way the grid actually works. all extra demand is met by fossil fuelled power.
LMAO! Reminds me is the overly insane hype leading up to the launch of the Segway
Small vans like omni (Electric) required in india (telangana)
LEVC VN5, Morris, Canoo and Amazon are my fav
Very informative
