Hi. I'm seriously thinking for my next van an electric one .
Don't do many mikes and most are around town .
Fot those that have tank fitted , what companies for them and EV vans as I think that's quite a challenge?
Thanks

Have a look at the ‘going electric’ a few posts down. Loads of chat on there about tanks and fitting…

Yes I've read all that but I'm not going to attempt to fit the tank myself . I was asking about companies that fit tanks or systems in Ev vans ? That's what I'm not finding to much info on .
Thanks

Doubt there is any, but you may be able to work around the battty. For example the e transit custom battery doesn’t extend that far back on the van, so you can easily bolt down a tank towards the rear.
All I’m going to do is ratchet strap a tank down when I get my e transit custom. I’m gonna get a smaller tank and just except that I can’t drill into the floor.

Grippatank do.
Have a look on their website under vehicle packages. They do a 400l system in an eberlingo
Just phone around a few other companies such as Ionics or anyone else that appeals

I did my own in a nissan env200
Purefreedom 350ltr flat tank. With electric reel. Still have enough room at front for syvac and a pressure washer and all accessories just check your payload 750kg on a env200. I am just in weight
There's not to much drilling only 12 bolts
They supply the lot with tank and frame
Only trying to save you bit if pawk mate

The way tanks have been "fitted" in vans for years is a complete joke. Some bolts and spreader plates through a ribbed floor ? All to hold a cage that will stop a plastic water tank exploding. I love the old Ionics videos showing crash tests of flimsy, thin water tanks in IBC's doing exactly what anyone would expect them to do.
I predict modern van/tank systems will become modular. Floor plates to attatch to existing anchor points in van, adjustable anchoring points for tank frames. A lot of this stuff is already partly in existence for other trades and uses.
Now that its a big expense to drop a battery (to fit a tank) you can bet it won't take long for someone to do the math and come up with a much better way.

It's about time someone did

Vivaro e with 75kwh battery. If you don’t do many miles the 50kwh battery could work for you.
500l flat tank with frame. It bolts either side of the battery.
No need to drop the battery. My local garage did it for me in no time at all.
They did say they measured many many times before drilling 😃

In the grand scheme of things as far as manufacturers are concerned window cleaning vans with tanks are a tiny percentage of what vans are used for , it’s not a market they would be interested in not worth the time and money needed to bring it into production
