I'm a delivery driver and just done my first shift in one of these vans today. Was only given small packages to deliver but managed to cover 100 miles no issue and again wasn't using eco mode or needing to go below 50mph on motorways etc. So much more enjoyable than a 3.5t diesel van.
Great presentation, Gavin. I'm looking for a camper conversion and although this is not not quite right for me, it's an excellent video and you come across well. Do more please. Thanks.
Excellent, thanks. I am builder and love my Hiace (diesel) but feel that we need to stop burning fossil fuels. Changing oil and fuel/oil filters every 10 to 15 K's ....they end up somewhere in a landfill, not good. My next van will definitely be electric.
@@311dragonstar your calculation is totally off, it's 32 cents per k/Wh. This is a current average NZ price for 1 kWh electricity. If the van has a 52 kWh battery you multiply 0.32 x 52 = NZ$16.64 , not 65,-!
How would this have performed with real loads (wide enough for a pallet) rather than a couple of bags of spuds? This seems an unrealistic 'review' of it's capabilities

great review, this will be relevant for years to come as they're offered up 2nd-hand, thanks Gavin

Would stop and go in middle of traffic in the city shorten the mileage ?
These really need power sockets on the inside! I want to make an OB van
hello, please tell me how to check soh batteries on maxus. Maybe you know mobile app?
So what happens if your a point to point courier and u do more then 150kms and not many charging places ?
You get a van that suits your needs. This doesn’t suit everyone like any vehicle.
Safety on car also
How about uphill
I may or may not be tempted to convert this to a camper...
anyone thinking to the logo on the bonnet looks like it is a freemasons symbol?
At this stage I think I will still keep driving my diesel van maybe later on will have to look at electric vans
best value van
Anyone actually using it, may want to know. e Deliver 3 SWB maximum load length: 2,180mm. According to internet.
100 miles = 160kms kids 🤓
😅👍

As a delivery van . You would realistically need to charge it twice a day ..
Not what Ford research says. Surprisingly low KMs per day although higher in Auckland than major cities like london etc.
