LDV eDeliver 3: New Zealand's cheapest all-electric van

The LDV eDeliver 3 is the cheapest electric van in New Zealand at $56,913, offering 4.8 cubic metres of cargo space, a payload of 905 kg and a range of 250 kilometres per charge.
Sounds impressive, but what's it like in the real world? To find out, Gavin spent a day as a delivery driver, pushing the vehicle hard, with unexpected results.

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.

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.

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

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.

I may or may not be tempted to convert this to a camper...

Would stop and go in middle of traffic in the city shorten the mileage ?

[WrathChild-NZ]

These really need power sockets on the inside! I want to make an OB van

[sunmarty]

At this stage I think I will still keep driving my diesel van maybe later on will have to look at electric vans

[midlemonte]

[shaunshaun]

So what happens if your a point to point courier and u do more then 150kms and not many charging places ?

[QALibrary]

anyone thinking to the logo on the bonnet looks like it is a freemasons symbol?

[lowtech_]

Anyone actually using it, may want to know. e Deliver 3 SWB maximum load length: 2, 180mm. According to internet.

[행호할캥홍]

Safety on car also

How about uphill

[wickedleeloopy]

As a delivery van . You would realistically need to charge it twice a day ..

[johntrigge]

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
