Back on topic I will defo be interested in a new electric van in the next 7 years or so.i will probably have to incorporate an immersion system to heat my water rather than a diesel heater as I don't fancy having a separate tank for filling up.it would be difficult too i imagine depending on where the batteries are in the van..

My average mileage per year in my van is around 3000 miles and I will have a large driveway to install a charging point at home...

Is there any companies who professionally fit immersion heating systems in vans for window cleaning?(as I don't feel confident in doing the job myself).

Better off with a diesel tank for the heater IMO.

You're not going to want to run an emersion off your van battery, if that's even possible? On demand diesel heating is a very different prospect to insulating then night heating a tank of water via an emersion from your mains.

Once you go on demand hot - you don't go back, right?

Of course in 7 years time Daz will probably only be working 3 hour days, so water from an immersion should stay quite hot for him.

One of the franchisee's vans gave up the ghost so I've spent a couple of days kitting out the new van.

I was assuming more on the lines of current users where they heat the water overnight. Not as effective as on demand from a webasto, but I suppose an insulated tank would help.

In 7 years time if diesel is further out of favour, I guess companies such as Grippa  would provide some sort of immersion option for their systems.

Hadn't thought of that but if you're comparing like for like, a 9kW heater like Grippas would require an electric heater with the same power rating. Buy a Toyota Proace with a 50kWh battery, run the heater for three hours and you've worse than halved your range.

Interesting problem if you run hot water.
