    Electric transport became famous for its lower driving costs and since it is becoming more common families and business owners could greatly benefit from getting a roomy electric vehicle with good cargo space. Here are 10 electric vans that already exist in 2018. Would you ever consider getting one of these?

      I have done a lot of research on EVs and technologies that may be applied to them to make electric cars even better, adding solar panels is one of the solution. The only difficulty that has to be addressed is the added weight. Solar panels, converters and extra storage batteries will add more weight to the van, thus reducing its payload capacity and limiting overall range.

      @tylerkepple640 5 років тому +2

      I am right there with you but I think the big issue is payload weight from listening to the specs. Sounds like electric motors are far less efficient when the vechicle is fully loaded and when do a full camper coversion with all the bells and whistles, sounds like the first gen first round of electric motors just won't cut it. Not to mention how difficult will it be on the electric motor to actually go offraod 4bying. Now the new toyota rav4 hybrid looks promising if you are willing to tent camp and back gear as far as electrics going offroad, tho its not completely electric. It is hybrid but it gets 40mpg and has an all electric motor in the rear that engages as needed. Check it out TFL truck channel has a good review on it. For now my money might be on the new rav4 unless i say screw it and eat the gas and go with a chevy express with some lift and at least a rear locker or very minimum limited slip dif. I live where there is lots of snow in winter so at this point its an awd drive vehicle or rear wheel with good clearence, i don't do any crazy offraoding, and if I ever i could I'm thinking go with like a polaris utv or maybe honda. Seems like 4x4 is rough on vehicles. Either that or get an old 4runner and build it out with upgrades but i don't want to spend 48k on a vehicle i am gonna beat up offraod anyways so yah its a tough call all the way around to me

    Stupid Question from a new subscriber: Why don’t any of these include solar panels on the roof to extend the distance, recharging it while you are at work? Or what about one of those small marine continuous duty diesel generators? With computer technology why can’t we set the thing in the sun, tell it we will need it again in 8.5 hours, let it do some calculations, charge via solar for as many as it thinks it can, then kick in the generator as needed to be fully charged when we get off of work?
    I WANT to buy an electrical vehicle but I do not like the idea of getting stranded. I’d like the option to charge it automatically while I’m not driving it.

    • @automotiveterritory
      @automotiveterritory  6 років тому +1

      Welcome to the club! you have a wonderful question. In fact, after posting the episode we actually came across two electric vans equipped with solar panels. The concept seems to be viable, but there are a couple of "buts"1) panels do inflate the price of the vehicle big time, 2) make it heavier, hence, a larger battery is needed to cover the same distance 3)low efficiency. Even if your vehicle stayed in the sun for 8 hours, you would get only 30% of charge, could be less due to the lack of sun. As for the generator... this concept is being widely used on the cargo trucks, many of those have range extenders in the form of diesel generators. Chances are vans with range extenders will be popping out on the market

    • @Erin-Thor
      @Erin-Thor 6 років тому

      Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews - Thanks for the excellent response! 😁 I was thinking about the vans with all that roof space. 😎 As to cost and weight... one of the options I’m looking at for my airstream are flexible glued down solar panels on the roof which should generate about 300-500 watts depending on time of day. They are thin, light, aerodynamic and cheap. Would it be enough to recharge one of these vans? No clue. Thanks again!

    • @automotiveterritory
      @automotiveterritory  6 років тому +1

      I actually made a video about camping vans recently, where some of the vans had solar panels installed on their roofs. And the power generated by solar panels could only be considered as a supplementary course (as for now).

    • @automotiveterritory
      @automotiveterritory  6 років тому

      500 watts per hour will give you 4 kWh in 8 hours, while the batteries on these vans go well over 20-40-60 kWh. Even if you covered all of the available surface with panels, still only a fraction of the energy ,what the electric van needs to run, will be produced. And the bigger the van, the less viable the use of panels becomes, since it doesnt mean it gets particularly more surface area, but the weight increases big time. If you are worried about the range and need an extender, look into this company workhorse.com. Though, as I previously mentioned, you can still use the panels for lighting, recharging your devices etc, they definitely wont hurt when istalled on a camper van

    • @automotiveterritory
      @automotiveterritory  6 років тому

      Thank you for stopping by! I believe electric vans, like other vehicles usually come without any factory adaptations and modifications will have to be custom installed afterwards. Since gasoline/electric vans primarily differ only "under the skin" any modifications should be fairly easy-done. One major advantage of EVs that I would like to underline is probably the ease of operation and low maintenance. Some electric cars like Leaf 2.0, for example, are playing around with an idea of "one pedal driving mode" for both acceleration and deceleration (this feature will be available in a year or two). I left the links to manufacturers' website in the description, so you could contact them to learn more about the adaptations you might require. You should also check out this video about camper vans, links of the companies that tuned them are also under the video, and since they managed to turn a van into a home on wheels, they probably should be able to adapt an electric van, too. ua-cam.com/video/XzVHc6mIZ6g/v-deo.html&lc=UgyBxdyrcO2ERAfprRV4AaABAg Have a blessed day and come back to our channel more often!

      Its almost there but not quite. I work as a courier in the D.C Metro area.
      And i truly lust after a delivery van that doesnt burn $50-70 dollars of gas each day that im working.
      I do like the cargo room and capacity that the general purpose vans listed here have at 200 ~ish cu. ft / 1 ton capacity
      But that sub 100 mile range is not enough. I dont just make one delivery or even one set of deliveries in a route. (although i know of many business that do and should in theory take full advantage) For my needs i expect to be on the road (or loading/unloading) for an average of 10 hours and depending on traffic and if some late rushes show up as much as 14 hours in a day (including commute from home) while traveling an average of 170-200 miles that includes an upper limit closer to 300 than 200.
      I understand i am a bit of an edge case scenario. but when the range hits 225 miles for a sub 30k$ price point ... it will disrupt (in a good way) a significant market.

    Anything under 250 miles range is a nonstarter. Vw is the only one with enough range, pitty it's not actually available. Also charging has to be at a minimum of 100kw. Otherwise on any long distance run you have to spend all your time charging. From my real world experience driving electric to little range to slow charging. Untill manufactures get on the right page sales are going to be slow.

    Tried to get more information from the websites and it's as if the companies don't want to sell these vehicles. It's 2020 and websites are still trash. Lots of sales talk but hardly any real information. Where are the locations for charging in Europe, as 400 across the whole of Europe is hardly reasonable coverage. They're lazy as they know governments will force us to use these vehicles, even though none of them can compete with the 2013 Tesla and are more expensive. If Tesla keep fixating on the USA market (we don't buy pick ups in the same numbers), they are doomed to repeat the other USA manufacturers boom and bust. Betamax was better than VHS, but it went out of business in the home market.

      Using the same platform as the uprated cars a minibus would be a seller. I do tours that have trips of less than 45 miles between stops of at least 1/2 hour, so if each stop had charging points it would easily work. Each stop is also a main tourist spot so would have uses in the 'off season'. It would mitigate local pollution in places like Bath, Oxford etc. There are already large electric buses, so why not. If there were overhead cables to treat the bus as a trolley bus inside towns/cities this would also add to their use and range.

    The Moia and VW seem nice. Most of the rest seem too underpowered and too low on range for a minivan ( and some will never hit America so pointless to even look at ). The one vehicle that needs a 300+ mile range is the minivan. A car needs maybe 100 or so to go back and forth to work but a minivan is the one vehicle you would want for a road trip. Also for delivering stuff or driving people around you are going to need that 200+ miles. These are hard sales but give me that VW!! Very beautiful but it seems years out from availability. I think VW has some huge hits in the near future with their ID Buzz vehicles and so does Honda. Then people can stop buying ugly Nissan Leafs and upgrade the style of non-Tesla EVs.

It would be like putting a naturally aspirated 3 cylinder engine and a 5 gallon tank and trying to sell that to a business or family. Wouldn't fly. Look at the Ford Transit Connect Electric. The specs on that are about as good as some of these but it is 6 years old (80 mile range vs 100+/-). The company who were making the conversions for Ford had to file Bankruptcy probably due to low demand. I think in the real world they got like 60 miles in range...

      Looks are significant for any vehicle one chooses to drive - from a bicycle to a skateboard, from a motorboat to a car, and yes, even a van. We express ourselves through design. The clothes we wear, shoes, purses, watches, phones. I drive an '85 Chevy G20 van and it looks incredible. I'd rather spend money on the gas it uses than drive around in one of the pill boxes shown in this video. Even the VW model falls short of their own design standards.

      So technically these are just your assumptions go and don't have a quote from an insurance company proving that the "insurance would cost more than the car"?

      First of all, I'm having a conversation with a person. Second of all, insurance companies differ, as well as there are different policies in different countries.

      If a golf cart is the first thing that comes to your mind when thinking about EVs, then you have missed lots of important changes on the automotive market.

      How can the ICE be superior?
      Many companies are going electric for last mile delivery, so people in cities could get a breath of fresh air, it's also better economically to choose electric for city driving.

      Once again, you telling that it is superior doesn't change anything. If you have had time to read comments on this page, then you have probably learned my point of view and facts that prove the superiority of electric motors. You in your turn just say that "there are many reasons", while state zero of your reasons (they probably don't exist or your haven't made them up yet).

      Why would I care to answer, if you don't even want me too. You don't need me to answer, just look up the stats. You'd be surprised that that are countries that get over 50% of energy from renewables.
