No, but I read the book the guy who studied there wrote. I read a book a week. In the end its all what suits ones business model. What an EV van can take weight wise is first thing we need to know and second is how we are going to charge it. Bolting on the system would be number 3 on our list. I would be interested when the 4250kg ones come out but I think they would be well over £50k.

I am heavily into off grid DIY solar with LifePo4 but no way interested in Lithium Ion batteries. It's a learning curve, learning from the internet and wisdom of others. Lithium phosphate batteries have their place in this world for green home energy but don't feel the market is there for EV vehicles in general for another decade at least for many reasons.
Not a van but I've ordered a CUPRA FORMENTOR DSG (petrol version)as I just can't bring myself to bother with a fully electric vehicle at present.the infrastructure just isn't there yet.
It's getting delivered this coming wednesday!can't wait!as I've been let down with the T-Roc I ordered(not even been built yet)...the cupra is cheaper and looks far more sporty and stylish 😎

Remember this? Specifically asking for lived experience. Note that I didn't ask this:Anyone have any unsubstantiated rumours they heard down the pub that they'd like to share?
Pretty much every opinion that's been shared in this thread has led me to more research. So when you told me the Luton fire was an EV problem, I looked. I found the facts behind the rumour and it turned out it wasn't true. Ditto with your repeated comments about fires. Data from a fleet company proved it to be incorrect.
So I am looking at both sides. That doesn't mean that all 'facts' presented are based in truth or that all opinions are equally valid. Lived experience and data are not equivalent to things a random on the internet heard from a mate.
I have a lot of respect for you, Vin and the way you analyse things; always have had.
15 years ago I would have been dead against an electric vehicle as the only experience I had was with the electric Berlingo Citroën bought out some 25 years ago.
I'm grateful to Soupy for reminding me about my dogmatic views back then. My stance has mellowed a little over the years as EV's have become more common.
Judging by the limited mileage you do and the issues we have with diesels doing low mileage with dpf filters, we do need to consider other possibilities. An EV is probably the best way forward for you, but it may not be for everyone.
As more and more cities are introducing low emission zones, businesses operating within the boundaries of these zones will be 'forced' to consider other options, whether they like it or not.
I'm perhaps a hypocrite because, reluctantly, I succumbed to buying a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery to replace my leisure battery. While I questioned my sanity to begin with, I'm falling in love with this technology. I haven't had to bench charge this battery in the last 3 months. In fact, I have had to switch off my b2b charger to drain the battery a little.
Would I consider an EV? No, but my remaining working life is now short, and we don't have an emission zone to contend with.
But if I was in your situation, it would certainly be a possibility.
What is the future of the EV market? Who knows!
