I had a very good exsperience purchasing an ev van from Electric Van Man and his team. Jaden was the sales person who accompanied me on a test drive. He was able to answer all of my questions and went into great detail about the van and driving /charging a ev. Jaden also provided me with his contact details so i could call and text him, Which enabled us to have a smooth part-exchange of my truck fot the purchase of my Ev van. I would also like to thank Caroline,who provided my payment invoices and replied to my emails very promptly. Great sevice and communication from the team. David Turrell.
Fully recommend Paul and Caroline, while we didn’t buy a vehicle through them Paul’s knowledge of electric vans is outstanding and he was able to talk us through so many options and answer all of our questions, giving us the confidence to choose the most suitable option for us. We would advise anyone looking to buy an electric van to contact Paul and Caroline before doing so.
I recently purchased a van from EVM. The vehicle was my first electric vehicle, Jaden took the time not only to show to me the van but also took time to explain and show me the ins and outs of owning and using an EV. The van is in great condition and came ready for the road. Communication was great and any issues were sorted out quickly. Help was also offered in regards to getting things like a home charger, apps for getting on when out and about, and Info on wider community EV schemes. All in all a great experience. And I do not regret taking the leap into the world of EV vans.

Say Hello to the @KiaWorldwideOfficial PV5 Van, I guess following the naming culture of their cars, which is one area where they lack some imagination! In Korea they have a "Bongo"truck which demonstrates far more imagination! There some other variants coming, in a Crew, Chassis Cab and WAV (Wheelchair accessible) I will get to them asap... very excited for the WAV!! Back to the Van in question. Why have I called it a "big small" van. Well because it falls between two I think. It is certainly physically bigger than a small van, say a Berlingo etc, all be it more feeling than reality. It does however start with more space (cubic capacity) than its rivals, beginning at 4 and going up to 5.2 cubic meters. This would be great if it had the payload to match! Sadly with the long range battery (71kwh) you have a payload of 690 kg on the L2 H1 and less on the H2 variant. With all that in mind people will still buy this van, as they did in their droves with the ID Buzz. This is a good looking Van (subjective I know but it is!) and it has a good equipment level, although they save Heated Seats for the higher spec model which for me is a must!! Tempting people to go big I suspect, that said the option is not likely to be expensive relatively. The bit that has disappointed me, mainly because I had such high expectations in the first place, is the electric credentials and the charging speed in particular! I was fully expecting 800v charging and over 200kw charging speed. Instead I got 400v and 150kw, which in isolation is very good of course, none need to be too disappointed here, BUT they could have changed the game or at least upped it significantly. I really wanted them to come with something that would show us all how it is supposed to be done, especially having bought into @ARRIVALUK all those years ago! I wanted class leading stuff instead we good a good competitive offer, which is what we have! So I suppose I better get over myself and get objective! Good space options (3 variants - L1H1, L2 H1 and L2 H2) and twin side sliders is good news although the payload will give cause for concern for those thinking they have the space of a medium van, unless you have some very light stuff to carry. The rear entrance and load space is compromised at ground level by intrusions for the suspension alongside the wheel arches. Towing is not really an option with 750kg max! Cab area is great and the equipment is as you would expect. If it ticks the practical box for you it will certainly keep you happy up front! Just remember to get the option that includes heated seats. Let me know what you think.
