126 miles... I guess we have to wait for the Rivian van

126 mile range, 62 when it’s cold and 49 when it’s cold with a full load Lol. Who would want to deal with that

It's not even 126 mile ranges. I have a brand new one it's 110mile range, hauling range may drop, but also cold weather drops range farther. So hauling in cold weather you have about 70 miles of range total. It's not good but I still bought it .
Here was my reasoning - I got it brand new for 32k. They dropped the price from 55k to 32k, with 1.7% financing. So I got a fantastic deal. When I was looking for a commercial vehicle the cheapest I could find is 3 to 5 year old vehicles selling for 30+k for low mileage, or 15k for 200k+ miles. New trucks and vans start at 55K for what i'm looking for. So this ended up being a good buy. Ontop I get a 7.5k tax credit. For example, let's say I owe 10k in taxes, 7.5k of that will be deducted, so I only pay 2.5k. I flip houses and for every flip I do, I already install a EV charger in the garage to add value for prospecting buyers. When I'm working on the house I just charge it there. I only do short city trips, like going to home depo. 10 miles round trip. I can charge at the house. The mileage I drive still gets expensed on taxes, and my electricity is already tax deducted as a building expense. So all in all i'm doing good. Some houses I have already have solar, so that's where my gas/electric bill is 0. It's great for what I do. But I do wish they added 75 mile more range. Because once it's 10+ years old, this thing is only going to have a 20 mile range like the original Nissan leafs do. But luckily this has a 100k, 8 year warranty. So hopefully the battery goes bad year 7 and I get a new battery - if it keep it that long.

They still can't think of better use of where the engine used to go

Waiting for these to get closer to 400 mile range and be able to add 100 miles in 15 minutes. But my 64k question is about using the OEM A/C while parked overnight. How much KWH would it use and can it cool/ventilate 2/3 of the cargo area on the smaller/lower van? I don't need it ice cold, but am in Florida. I have this idea for an EV Van conversion where I open no holes in the roof, but rather rely on the A/C vents, fans and compressor to ventilate and cool the van. In 1/3 back half of the van I would have a hot space I would have all my appliances with a strong fans vent out the sides to push hot air out and pull cooler air from the OEM A/C set to fresh air mode. Free of holes, I would like to place a single 500 watt solar panel over the entire living space of the van to help maintain my battery while in the sun. I would insulate the ceiling and walls with 2 inch of foam.

There should be a law that requires a minimum for miles per range. Nothing less than 265 period.

126, sweet man those are some awesome stats i wanna replace my whole fleet now. Ik you’re just making a video but man these manufacturers are so out of touch

That range is terrible. I’m the transportation coordinator for the school district I work for and we have electric school buses that weigh 40, 000lbs that get 130 miles of rage. And that’s fully loaded

126 Miles is ok for a small sedan thats only intended for city driving, Vans are made to drive items long distances so 126 miles is horrible

How well does it work in freezing temperatures ?

americancitizen

Lolol 126 miles on only electricity ! I think I will keep my gas powered truck

hadespaganism

And I can take my 2015 ford transit 3.7 over 300 miles on a full tank with a full load in the freezing cold, what is the future turning into?
