You have the option of charging your van at your home or business using a three-pin plug or wall charging unit or you can choose one of the thousands of public charging points available across the UK. A good app to use to locate your nearest charging point, is Zapmap. This will allow you to search by location and find the nearest chargers to you, including rapid or high power charging stations.

The length of time it takes to charge an electric vehicle will vary depending on the vehicle itself. Our Electric Specialists will be able to guide you through the different charging times.

When it comes to a public charging point, there are typically three different types of connection; CCS, CHADEMO & Type 2. The latter is usually limited to a 22kW speed and you'll need to use your own. All of our Ford Vans have the CCS connection which is widely used across all charging stations. Each charging station you come across will be managed by different companies. Usually they'll have their own smartphone apps where you can register for an account, ensuring a smooth process when charging publicly. The Zapmap app will display the company that owns the charging point.

Like their petrol and diesel counterparts, electric vehicles have a warning light when you're running low on electric. Whilst the remaining range differs between vans after the warning light comes on, it's best not to let your van get below 10%.​

Absolutely not. As long as you plan your journey and you know the range of your vehicle, you can decide which public charging points you'll visit along the way.

Yes you can. There is no reason an EV can't be a proper towing vehicle if it has sufficient power and the components that can handle the added load. You can speak to our Electric Specialists for more information.

Whilst the initial investment of owning an electric van is higher, overall you'll pay less. when compared to petrol or diesel engines, electric cars have less moving parts which in turn means there is less that could go wrong. There's also no need to top up any oil, for example.

All EVs are automatic. EVs are power-efficient throughout their revs, unlike fuel engines which have a narrow rev band in which they can deliver maximum performance. EVs need only one gear. No gearbox means even basic EVs are speedy from a standstill and accelerate smoothly and continuously.

As it stands the Government states that by 2035, 100% of all new van sales will need to be electric.

Electric vans emit less greenhouse gases over their lifetime than conventional engine cars, making EVs better for the environment. This is even when you consider the energy needed to manufacture and power them.

Our Electric Specialists will be able to help you decide which EV is best suited to your needs. There are a variety of options available and all of them have different features which may suit your requirements better than another.
