Super helpful service. Highly recommend if you are looking to switch to an electric vehicle. I was quite vague about what buying or owning an electric vehicle involved and so needed a lot of support to get started. I bought a used Mercedes e Vito from them earlier this year and it has been brilliant. The team helped me to decide what I needed and have given me great support and ongoing advice from start to finish. I initially had a chat to discuss my budget and specifications and was able to look through all the options. Because I was purchasing a van for my business, I was on a tight timetable and it was immensely helpful to be able to tap into Paul’s industry expertise and to get the purchase made. My van came immaculate, fully charged and ready to drive. They also checked in with me after a few weeks to make sure that everything was going well. One of the most helpful elements was being able to get all the facts and dispel some of the myths and fears around electric vehicle ownership. As well as the vehicle the team supported me to set up home charging, ensure that I had everything I needed. Before I made the purchase, they talked me through the logistics and costs of charging, the kind of trips I would be making as well as helpful explanations such as how the range varies in different temperatures. This team is 100% set up to help make customers feel confident about making the switch and to getting a great vehicle that works for them. Definitely support that made a difference!
Paul and his team have a great knowledge of electric vans and the electric van market. With a wide range of products on site, I was able to test and compare. Paul also helped me understand the numbers and financial benefits, having had no prior experience with electric vehicles. Would highly recommend them!

Taking a total of 13 hours and 9 minutes, and being driven by a team of 3, the van achieved 311 miles driving a route in the relatively flat lands of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire.
Given that the van ‘only’ has a WLTP Combined range of 205 miles, this is pretty remarkable but, there’s always a danger that someone will buy an E-Scudo, put the best part of 1000kgs in the back and take it on a run on a cold winter’s day and wonder why they’re struggling to achieve half of that record figure. As ever, it’s so important for customers to be correctly qualified and expectations managed by the selling dealers.
Let’s not detract from this record breaking (or setting?) achievement but, although undertaken for the PR opportunities, it just goes to show that those WLTP figures which many struggle to match in the real world can, in certain circumstances be turned on their head
