Mercedes-Benz eSprinter
- Payload: 731kg
- Range: 82 – 95 miles
- Battery size: 55kWh
- Speed: 0-60mph in 11 seconds
The eSprinter is a popular pick for any delivery business sending out parcels in the city. The van is light, easy to drive, and has a big enough range to get your drivers where they need to be. You don’t get much of a choice when it comes to the actual size of the vehicle, unlike some other electric vehicles. On the bright side, the latest version of the van (the eSprinter Progressive) can be upgraded to rapid charging for easy urban travel.
Citroen e-Berlingo 2021
- Payload: 800kg
- Range: 171 miles
- Battery size: 50kWh
- Acceleration: 0-62mph in 11 seconds
Despite its smaller battery than the eSprinter, the e-Berlingo can push out to over 170 miles in the right conditions. If you need to carry more, you can. The e-Berlingo is available in two sizes — the medium (4.4 m long) and the Extra-Large (4.75 m long). The e-Berlingo works best for delivery drivers who take longer journeys or operate in areas without many electric charging points due to its longer range. The e-Berlingo can be upgraded to rapid charging, though the battery can also be filled up overnight from a regular 7 kWh charger.
Nissan e-NV200
- Payload: 705kg
- Range: 124 miles
- Battery size: 40kWh
- Acceleration: 0-62mph in 14 seconds
Released in 2021, the latest Nissan e-NV200 has a larger load than its predecessor and a longer range. If you keep to city conditions, the electric delivery van can make it to over 180 miles. If you only have a lighter payload but need to go the distance the Nissan e-NV200 is a nice choice. The van has a lower price tag than some others on the market. If you plan to buy this van, you may want to consider the upcoming Nissan Townstar which has more upgrades.
Peugeot e-Expert
- Payload: 1,275kg
- Range: 211 miles
- Battery size: 40kWh
- Acceleration: 0-62mph in 13.1 seconds
The 75kWh is available if you upgrade. If you’re going to get the Peugeot e-Expert, we think it’s worth going for the larger battery to get the higher range. The 40 kwh can still get a respectable 143 miles. The e-Expert is highly customisable, so you can make this van fit any delivery driver needs. The van is available in three different lengths: 4609mm, 4959mm and 5309mm. Regardless of which version you buy, the van is versatile for any delivery.
Renault Kangoo ZE
- Payload: 640kg
- Range: 143 miles
- Battery size: 33kWh
- Acceleration: 0-60 mph in 21.8 seconds
Only need a lighter payload? Need to get around tricky, small streets? The Renault Kangoo ZE is a good fit for you. Although the Kangoo ZE has one of the smaller payloads of electric vans, for many businesses that’s all you need. Increasing the payload and length is possible as the van is available in a few different sizes, such as 1476mm and 1862mm.
Maxus e Deliver 3
- Payload: 1,202kg
- Range: 150 miles
- Battery size: 52.5kWh
- Acceleration: 0-60 mph in 11 seconds
A smaller battery of 35 kWh is available, though it cuts down the van’s range to about 99 miles. We recommend taking the 52.5 kWh battery if you can, just for convenience. We’ve found that the Maxus e Deliver 3 works best in urban conditions, where you can expect the battery to last up to 141 or 213 miles depending on the battery size you pick. Unlike some other vans on this list, the e Deliver is only a two-seater van. If you’d like more room in the front, this van might not be for you.
