The fact that you’ve clicked on this video means that you’ve probably not driven an electric van before…
What you probably do know is that electric vans can save you money and that electric vehicles deliver zero emissions while driving and help reduce air pollution. Oh, and that they have fewer moving parts to go wrong…
But what a lot of prospective owners don’t always realise is that electric vans are incredibly easy to drive and great fun too.
We’ll start with the stuff you won’t see. There’s no gearbox doing a million and one things under the bonnet. There’s no gearstick to stir around and no clutch to give your left leg a good workout in traffic. All you have is a selector where you to choose between going forwards…. or backwards…. And for the times that you’re not doing either of those things, you can select park and it locks the wheels.
Like an automatic, there are two pedals, accelerator and brake. The one that delivers the most entertainment is, of course, the one on the right. Unless you’re a bit odd. Unlike a petrol or diesel, electric vans deliver full power the second you press the accelerator. That means they feel really perky as soon as you pull away, which is great if you are facing up a hill or pulling out of a junction.
You’ll also find that an electric van feels a lot more secure to drive, and that’s because the battery pack is right below the load space which keeps the centre of gravity very low.
