I bought the CHEAPEST ELECTRIC VAN in the country!

Video Summary

The reviewed vehicle is a 2013 Renault Kangoo ZE, potentially the cheapest electric van in the UK. It’s based on a diesel Kangoo. The van has 38,000 miles on the clock and is considered tidy. Cosmetically, the ZE is in better condition than the diesel van it's replacing. It has basic Renault keys like the internal combustion engine Kangoo, but the ZE uses the key to start like an engine, activating a “Go” indicator on the instrument cluster. The reviewer points out it's obviously a conversion with the charge port behind the front badge, and also mentions a clue on the outside. The van has a clean and tidy cargo area with wood paneling. As far as driving experience, it is very quiet compared to the diesel. In reference to the range and charging, this ZE is equipped with a 22-kilowatt-hour battery and a 3.6-kilowatt on-board charger and lacks rapid charging capabilities. A charge of 6-8 hours is expected to get a full charge. The range to expect is approximately 80 miles in the summer, down to 50-60 in the winter. The battery lease contract that came on this van will provide a battery warranty for the lifespan of the vehicle, as well as breakdown recovery service for both mechanical issues, and electrical range problems. There are some things on the van to fix, it doesn't appear to be in awful condition. In summary, it is a "fairly useful thing" suited for deliveries, and the reviewer is happy with the purchase.
