Combustion all day long for me.if you've been out working for 10 hours, you don't want to be sat waiting for your van to charge before you can get home.

Very good and succinct explanation. Well done mate 👍. The whole EV thing is still years away from being seriously viable and you know it but are too polite to say they’re shite!

I worked for a FTSE 250 company We were told to buy 5 EV vans from chief executive I told them they haven’t got the range for us The Board say buy them as they needed to show the Government's COP26 pledge that UK listed businesses would be mandated to publish decarbonisation plans I think those vans are still siting parked up unused at head office but it looks good to the government

Went to my local car auction tonight, 15 plate Jaguar XJ retail about £11k couldn't even get to £5k, another Discovery Sport retail about £15k, struggled to get to £6k. Dealers aren't buying flash motors then are buying cheap bread and butter i10, Yaris, Aygo, Clio, Polo, etc etc.

The main factor of EV large vans is payload…..those batts are heavy! You are quite right there!

[ianrobinson]

Been watching you from day 1, a year later nearly 36k subs and 6 million views. Well done. You’ve certainly got through a lot in that time and been great being on the journey with you.

I didn’t experiment during the COVID the thing you mentioned… I carry on working as a builder. I made best money ever

[ianevans]

As you said in COVID vans prices went totally crazy, had a 55 reg transit a total heap of crap on the verge of a scrapper, sold it in COVID for £1500 mental . I would not buy a EV van, to be honest I don't think this EV thing is going to work, excellent video as always Lee

£20, 000 for a new small van is ridiculous.
I paid £12, 500 in 2020, they are overpriced and don’t buy at these prices.

The elephant in the room is that dealers have morphed from being car sellers to being finance company agents. If you don't want a finance contract they are not interested. If you are a cash buyer you can forget negotiating a deal.

That's about as comprehensive an assessment I've seen on anything in a long while ! Don't think you left much out !

[colinwhite]

How does this man deliver so much information without hesitation and not a script to be seen? Really impressive.

[mitchcooper]

Thank you 🙏 vans are an example I’ve been using for months in the EV argument. 57k for a van that gives you a 130 mile range? In the event that we go all-electric (which I don’t think will ever happen), a typical building site will have anything from 10 to 50 or maybe more vans that will need to charge during the day. A site temp electrical supply would never have the capacity to charge that many vans. All electric would never work and will never happen, unless the range is drastically improved.

[markgutter]

Good talk. The camper boom also spoiled things for the panel van market.

[dannycrooks]

A lot of problems 2nd hand dealers are experiencing now is that they have overpaid for vans at auctions and now they haven't a hope of selling them now at the prices they're looking for them

[stephenpoessl]

I have an old vw lt35 with high miles 2003 and I only paid £800 for it 5 years ago it's been ultra reliable with decent body work and I prefer driving it to our car. Love your vids they are so informative.

[adamlittle]

I'm sticking with my early 2015 Movano it's euro 5 but as reliable as the day is long, with nothing mentioned about low emission zones near me it would be silly to contemplate change.

[MIK]

Great video Lee. Really hammers home some important points about EV and why ICE vans are the only viable option at the moment.

[thatcheapguy]

brilliantly summed up Lee. you've pretty-much covered every possible aspect.
knowing the building trades as well as I do, a network of greasy-spoon cafes with fast chargers would be the best solution for larger pure electric vans or maybe inbuilt range extenders. but as you intimated, jobbing builders are unlikely to make such a huge investment in a workhorse that will ultimately get driven into the ground.
