THRIVE verdict
Strong payload and a below-median price, but load volume and range are compromises to weigh carefully.
The Farizon SV L1 H1 earns its keep on payload and price. At 1,350kg it carries more than the median large van (1,260kg), and its £44,000 list price sits below the class median of £47,000, with zero emission van grant eligibility sharpening that further. For operators who need to carry weight without paying over the odds for a large electric van, this is a solid starting point.
Where it gives ground is load volume: 6.95m³ puts it in the lowest quarter of large vans, well short of the 13m³ median, so bulky or high-volume loads won't fit as easily as the payload figure suggests. Braked towing of 2,000kg is also in the lowest quarter for the class, behind the 2,500kg median, so this isn't the van for regular trailer work.
As an electric large van, its 188-mile WLTP range sits below the 235-mile median, and its 120kW peak DC charging is also below the 130kW median, though a 36-minute 20-80% charge is still workable for depot-based or local routes. Against the Ford E-Transit DCiV Trend (£56,585, 1,489kg, 7.2m³, 184 miles), the Farizon is notably cheaper with similar range and volume. The Nissan Interstar diesel (£34,990, 1,366kg, 10.8m³, 2,500kg towing) undercuts it on price and offers more space and towing, making it the better fit where range anxiety or charging infrastructure are concerns.
Best for
- Fleets needing above-average payload at a lower list price
- Depot-based or short-radius urban delivery with predictable charging
- Budget-conscious buyers comparing against pricier electric large vans like the Ford E-Transit
Think twice
- Load volume is in the lowest quarter for the class, at 6.95m³
- Towing capacity of 2,000kg is below most large vans
- Range of 188 miles trails the median for electric large vans

Electric or diesel?
How the Farizon SV L1 H1 compares with Nissan Interstar Panel Van L2 H2 35 2.0 dCi 130 Manual Acenta MY27, the closest alternative across the electric line, for a typical working day.
Electric could work: check the points below
- Range. 100 miles a day sits comfortably inside a planning range of about 132 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. Payload is about the same: 1,350kg electric, 1,366kg diesel.
- Towing. Braked towing: 2,000kg electric, 2,500kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10p a mile against 20p for diesel: roughly £2,500 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for £4,010 more after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 1.6 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Towing more than 2,000kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 188-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.35 kWh a mile: THRIVE's typical figure for an electric van (this van's usable battery is not verified).
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Nissan Interstar Panel Van L2 H2 35 2.0 dCi 130 Manual Acenta MY27's official 37.7mpg.
- Electricity: 28.59p/kWh at a small-business depot (DESNZ, excluding VAT), 26.32p at home as the driver pays (Ofgem price cap), 65.83p on public rapid chargers (Zapmap, excluding VAT).
- 250 working days a year. List prices exclude VAT and options; running costs exclude servicing, insurance, tax and residual values.
