An electric van: a motor truck with van body whose propulsion is electric, especially one that is fully electric as opposed to hybrid electric..
Electric vans are cheaper overall than diesel vehicles, according to a new study of the total cost to buy and operate them in Europe. So, it’s no surprise that a survey of van buyers in Europe, also published today, finds that most want to go electric. But the supply of e-van models is lacking, which is why they account for only 3% of sales — lagging far behind battery electric cars (9%). […] Over one-third (36%) of van fleets surveyed already have at least one electric van while almost another third (32%) plan to buy an e-van this year, according to the poll of 745 fleets across Europe by Dataforce for T&E. A further 16% are considering buying an e-van in the next five years.
