5-7 years out of a work van? Not sure what planet this guy is on; there are plenty of 15-20 year old gas work vans still in service.

Our equipment is converted to LPG. Cheaper, less complicated and 2 fuels. Benefit: it doesn't freeze or gel up that fast in arctic conditions. Better than diesel. We started with our forklift. But now even our big rigs are converted. Minus 62% fuel costs, and that's with converting costs on that calculation. I really don't get why LPG isn't a solution. No solar panels and charging stations needed. No more electric wires and no more load on the electric net. In Europe, Italy, Spain, Germany you see it nor often. Why isn't it in Canada? Especially since the liquid propane doesn't freeze so fast in our cooler conditions.

Thanks Steve. So the winter range dropped from 255km to 120km?
@alvilla701
It needs another 100 miles more of range

the environmental impact to make a single vehicle battery pack of mining the minerals and purifying them needs to be figured into it as well.

Amazon comparison to small company??? 20000 vehicles to maybe 1 or 3??? Amazons price per vehicle would be less by a giant margin. Now take a company that buys 3 ev and and compare same situation with either diesel or ice. I'm not so sure the differences are going to be so favorable especially when you factor resale.
@JeffBreyer
Woulda preferred the diesel they were going to do. But I don't need one of these so I guess it doesn't matter to me.
@benhaze1010
A point completely missed here is the actual electrical capacity your building has to allow installing chargers. If you can afford to keep the van plugged in 10-12 hours/day you probably will be okay but if you need a level 2 charger, or have several vehicles and your panel / max power input is not sufficient, it can become an expensive and very long project to do. DC charging on the road will blow away fuel savings. It is being a little bit oversimplified here.
@omarkhan9966
Cost of electricity is skyrocketing. Resale value at the end of life is negligible (no one wants to replace a battery pack). While repairs are minimal compared to an ICE, when they do happen they are huge. Buyer beware if you are a small or mid size business.

As a Newfoundlander, Don't trust NL Hydro. No doubt EV delivery vans would be cheaper.
@jeffery1524
🤣🤣🤣🤣Amazon already uses a diesel generator to charge the electric delivery vans they already have
@BB-bv6uq
EVs don't work in cold climates
@Thankyou_3
😂 EV trucks. The most ridiculous idea and Truck King promoting this garbage EV technology? Come on guys, let’s get real.
