Should we tell them about the electric vans that we have in Europe for years? Like the Nissan e-ev200 and the Renault Kangoo ZE. Or the PSA vans planned for this year?
- dahfizz 6y agoNobody in America is going to buy an electric van with only ~100 miles of range that accelerates slower than a comparable gas van.
- speedgoose 6y agoThese vans don't sell to people doing road trips while sleeping inside. They are for municipalities, local companies, and post deliveries. I don't think it's a lot different in America but I may be wrong.
- hedora 6y agoIt’s the same in the US. We’ve had custom low volume hybrid electric busses and delivery vehicles for at least a decade. Many municipalities buy electric golf cart things for road and part maintenance, electric traffic enforcement trikes, and electric police motorcycles.
- rsynnott 6y agoThey might be _less_ appealing in the US, as the US has fewer dense cities, but the US _does_ have dense cities, and these would presumably fit the same package delivery van niche in those that they do in European cities.
