New EV in the household
Discussion
Not as exciting as it sounds, changed the works van from a 110 Transit Custom diesel, to a Vivaro-E.
Not a bad thing, 210 mile range on a full charge, and seems to be pretty accurate so far, with a combination of using Eco and Normal mode, its also got Power mode, and its nippy enough when not in Eco mode.
Gross Train Weight is just over 4 ton though.

Any issues with access to public charging points, because of its size?
I can answer this as I've nicked one (from my business as it was sat doing nothing) for close on 1500 miles in 6 weeks.I currently have no home charging so all of this has been charged on public networks. As the van is so long you need to be nose in and often on the side of the CCS connector (if CCS & Chad). I've had times that even then cables won't reach dependant on the charge unit. Slight inconvenience, nothing more.
I drive it carefully... It will see 150-180 miles but I'm almost always on a motorway @ ~60MPH in Eco. Average is 2.5kWh.. back is racked but almost empty otherwise.
It's a great van though...
