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.

Is this the smartest way to buy an electric van? 🚐💨 Today we’re doing a special handover of a used Mercedes-Benz eVito to Trina, the owner of Bee & Bottle Ceramics. What makes this handover incredible isn't just the van—it's how she paid for it. With the help of the Rural England Prosperity Fund and Bedford Borough Council, Trina secured an £11,000 grant to transition her business to sustainable, emission-free transport. In this video, we break down why the eVito is such a bargain on the used market, the specs you need to know, and how small businesses can leverage government leveling-up money to go electric. The Mercedes-Benz eVito Specs: Battery: 66kWh (The long-range version!) Range: 166 miles official (approx. 140-150 real world).
