LDV electric deliver 9 is already a big hit with supermarkets in the UK mostly using the truck cab and refrigerator body , unfortunately I don't have any photos but there's a lot of them . Keep smiling everyone and good luck with your stuff over the weekend Sam
The SWB model, cargo area 2547 x 1800 mm.1360 mm, between wheel arches for those interested. 1300kg load. Not bad, actually. Towing, well 1500kg and slow charging , other than that definitely usable.
The LDV Edelivery is definitely only a fleet vehicle for last mile deliveries. It only has a top speed of 90 km an hour, DC charge rate of 80Kw and a measly 2 kW 10 amp charging for the AC on board charger and here in Australia that starts just under $100,000 going through to $118,999
I saw a Maxus van at Lydford Gorge in Devon a few months back. The Gorge is a National Trust site and the van is used by maintenance staff. I spoke to the driver who was working on one of the visitor site buildings. He said the van was great but the only place they have to charge it was a slow charger at Castle Drogo.
I'm always looking out for reasonable range eVans here in NZ; I've been camping in a nissan env200 for 3 years now and I'm finally over the tiny winter range, and so have ordered a tesla model y and a tent! Just arrived here is the peugeot e-expert, which has way over 300km range but is $87k before you even start converting it to a camper van. So I'll keep the tesla for a couple of years in the hope that then there'll be some affordable van options for me by then. Thanks for the update mate, and for all your efforts to keep us informed; keep up the good work!
every time i hear will also have a gas/diesel/hybrid option you know it is not an EV but a conversion they built it for diesel then converted it to electric design
Range with Payload? There should be a standard range guide for all eVans with a 1 tonne payload (at least). Quoting m3 is fine, but load to range should be of interest to commercial users as well.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo No, not really. Anyone who buys an eVan needs to think very carefully about being on the road for the day, with goods to be transported, and how that might be affected by range. Time critical deliveries are money in the pocket for commercial transport businesses, so there is that. Dropping off and picking up goods usually affect economy to some degree, and having to stop in the middle of the day to recharge might be a no go. How does a potential buyer of an eVan know this, and how can they judge if they are making a good decision or not? My point was, if there was a unified standard that everyone could follow (sort of like fuel economy standards in your neck of the woods) then we would all be in better place to know and compare what the effect might be of various offerings. Most of these vehicles are capable of carrying 1 metric tonne, and m3 is not the same. So, the the question remains, what can it carry and for how far on 100% charge? Thats what decides uptake for commercial carriers, whether it be industrial equipment, parcels or even boulders. Cheers.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo Yes they do, believe me. I’ve seen it, and its amazing how much industrial equipment, heavy parts etal, needs to be moved by small van rather than a truck. Especially sensitive parts or special machines needing care in transport. How they do it is anyone’s guess, and forklift pallets are a god send, no doubt. But let those who intend to change to eVans be the judge. As I say, 1 metric tonne is the gold standard for any of these van delivery vehicles. If it works for a courier or logistics company, then so be it. I think they are good in that they will help clean up the air in polluted cities, and energy security can’t be overlooked either. Don’t get me started on economy vis electrical costs or diesel. 😀. I just don’t know from statements (and admittedly these are early) how anyone can make an assessment about this with a range that is not factored for load, or at least not stated. If you are moving clothing then yes, volume trumps mass, but it does not take long before (say) parcel delivery weights add up. Why we have to sweat over this is imponderable, but thats part of the disruption. Have a great day.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo Yep. Not even 1 in 5 I would suggest, but that’s irrelevant. If you have a need, will this work? 1 ton capacity, whats the range? Payload is the great leveller. It’s like buses and semi trailers. If you do the math you might be surprised, but you might also be disappointed. Some calculations on logistics say its marginal at best, at this time, but will get better in the future once efficiencies are found. Nothing profound about this.
Just imagine comparing today's ICE vehicles with those made 100 years ago. You would bag out the latter for sure. Now imagine today's EVs are the "starting point". How much farther ahead are they in their development to ICE vehicles of 100 years ago?! The latter has no chance for continued relevance going forward.
@@harmony3138 The VW is not just a people mover. The reviews all point out that the load space and rear door size allow it to readily take a Euro-pallet.
I want a large long range electric van to convert to a full time home as a live in vehicle. The range and charging speed on this is still way too low. I’ll have to wait longer, hopefully eventually Tesla will release a van variant of the Cybertruck.
Good to go electric however looks bit crap if they make a toxic one on the same platform du hope there is a frounk fwd, not good mmmm could do a lot better
Certainly true the last few years, between 2000 & 2019 were were about on par with the rest of Europe before this we were starting to get grey imports as the prices were cheaper. Not far from here in the 90s they built Rover 200s but it was thousands cheaper to go to France and buy them. Might see the grey imports again soon.
Off topic I was wondering if you Aussies have considered becoming a state of the United States. I do ask that humbly. It seems that Australia and the U.S. have so much in common. I know Aussies are justly proud of being in an independent country and being part of the commonwealth and all. A proud heritage indeed. I wonder if you have the right of free speech. I understand that citizens of the U.K. don't have a constitutional right to free speech, which seems really strange to an American. One benefit of being a U.S. citizens is that you would have the right to own and bear arms, which most Americans view as an incredibly important right! I wonder if you might make a video on the rights of Australians as compared to other countries, maybe including the U.S. Now I am not saying that our way of doing things is right for everyone or that our system of government is desired by everyone, but there are reasons so many people do choose to come to the U.S. politicized
No and not ever, the US is a train wreck in slow motion. It's regrettable that we have signed up Ankus, meaning that a large percentage of our working lives will be to slave away for the Americans for something that won't bring any tangible benefit to our lives.
Hi Allen, actually, in the UK our freedom of expression is guaranteed under the European Convention of Human Rights. Our current “libertarian” Conservative government would like to pull out of the convention as it also guarantees rights for refugees (such as stopping them being forcibly repatriated to countries like Rwanda) but rights such as freedom of expression, fair trial, privacy, association etc would be binned as well. How convenient. Strange how to many people who complain that their right to free speech is being stifled want to remove that legal protection from everyone.

I am a happy owner of an LDV eDeliver 7 thanks to this video. Keep up the good work, Sam.

Ok, will order one and convert it into a camper
every time i hear will also have a gas/diesel/hybrid option you know it is not an EV but a conversion they built it for diesel then converted it to electric design
Is that range based off no load in the van. Still not enough range
The chargers time is just enough to reload the van and the crew to have lunch.
thanks Sam
LDV saw Hyundai's Staria and said hold my beer
Love the van stuff Sam

Could be fitted out to be a campervan.
Transit in UK has 127 kW (170 hp), less torque and lots of gear changing. 153 kW (205 hp) sounds great.
Just imagine comparing today's ICE vehicles with those made 100 years ago.

Sell well in the UK.
Commercial applications will require a ladder rack for the construction industry.
They've sold a massive 63 of these so far in 2023 in Sweden lol.
Heard about the “Canoe” ev van?
Canoo, not available yet.
Great for campers
Not as appealing to me as the VW Buzz but better value for money particularly on size.

VANLIFE!!!!!!!!!
we need a van for van living with a heat pump
It's called reverse cycle air con
Siginifcantly less than the absurdly expensive VW IDBuzz. Although there is a lot to like about the Buzz, re-wheel drive for starters.
Thailand?
Evening mate
Its not a bad van
Now give us a 4x4 evan :-)
The charging speed kills this for me, can’t do it even though I need a van….let down
It's not only EV's which are expensive in Britain; all cars are over-priced.
Certainly true the last few years, between 2000 & 2019 were were about on par with the rest of Europe before this we were starting to get grey imports as the prices were cheaper.
