Find the Right Electric Van for Your Business
Electric vans are designed to handle many of the same everyday jobs as petrol and diesel commercial vehicles—but without producing tailpipe emissions.
They can be particularly well suited to:
- Local tradespeople and service engineers
- Couriers and delivery businesses
- Companies operating in towns and cities
- Businesses with predictable daily routes
- Drivers who can charge at home or work
- Organisations working towards sustainability targets
- Fleets looking to reduce fuel and operating costs
Electric vans come in different sizes, with varying ranges, payload capacities and charging speeds. Think carefully about what you carry, how far you travel and where you will charge before choosing your vehicle.
Why Lease an Electric Van?
Electric van leasing lets you drive a new commercial vehicle without paying the full purchase price upfront. You agree to an initial rental followed by fixed monthly payments for the duration of the lease.
Key benefits can include:
- Fixed monthly rentals for easier budgeting
- Flexible contract lengths and mileage allowances
- Lower fuel costs when charging on a competitive tariff
- Zero tailpipe-emission driving
- Access to new electric van technology
- Manufacturer warranty and battery warranty cover
- Optional maintenance packages on selected agreements
- No need to sell the vehicle when the lease ends
At the end of a contract hire agreement, you return the electric van subject to the agreed mileage, condition standards and contract terms. You will not own the vehicle.
Business Electric Van Leasing
Business electric van leasing can give sole traders, partnerships and limited companies a straightforward way to add new electric commercial vehicles without tying up large amounts of capital.
Your monthly rental will normally depend on:
- The electric van you choose
- Contract length
- Annual mileage
- Initial rental
- Vehicle specification
- Maintenance requirements
- Current manufacturer and funder support
VAT-registered businesses may be able to reclaim some or all of the VAT, subject to the vehicle’s use and current tax rules. Speak to your accountant or tax adviser for guidance specific to your business.
How Much Does It Cost to Charge an Electric Van?
The cost of charging an electric van depends on the battery size, charging location and electricity tariff.
Charging at home or at your business premises is usually cheaper than relying entirely on public rapid chargers. Businesses with multiple vehicles may also benefit from installing workplace charging and scheduling charging during lower-cost periods.
Be realistic when comparing electric and diesel running costs. If most charging will take place on expensive public networks, your savings may be lower. The best results are normally achieved by businesses that can charge regularly at their premises or overnight.
Electric Van Range
The advertised electric driving range is based on official laboratory testing. Your real-world range can be affected by:
- Payload and passenger weight
- Driving speed
- Weather and outside temperature
- Heating and air-conditioning use
- Traffic and road conditions
- Driving style
- Towing
- Vehicle configuration
Choose an electric van with enough usable range to cover your normal working day with a sensible reserve. Buying or leasing the model with the biggest battery is not always necessary if your daily routes are short and reliable charging is available.
Charging an Electric Van
Most electric vans can be charged using a home or workplace charge point. Many models also support rapid DC charging, which can add a useful amount of range during a break or between jobs.
Before leasing an electric van, check:
- Whether you can install a charger at home or work
- The vehicle’s maximum AC and DC charging speeds
- How long a typical charge will take
- Public charger availability on regular routes
- Whether your electricity supply can support multiple vans
- The location of the charging port
A standard domestic plug may be useful occasionally, but a dedicated charge point will usually be faster, safer and more convenient for regular use.
Electric Van Payload and Load Space
Do not choose an electric van based on range and monthly price alone. It still needs to do the job.
Check the vehicle’s:
- Maximum payload
- Load length, width and height
- Space between the wheel arches
- Gross vehicle weight
- Towing capability
- Number of seats
- Side and rear-door access
Battery weight can affect payload, and figures can differ between vehicle specifications. Confirm the exact capacity of your chosen model before ordering, particularly if you regularly transport heavy tools, stock or equipment.
