THRIVE verdict
A fast-charging large electric van let down by below-average payload and towing for its price.
The Farizon SV L3 H3 is a large electric panel van priced at £52,000 before VAT, which puts it in the highest quarter of large vans on price. Payload sits at 1,045kg, in the lowest quarter of the class, and towing capacity of 2,000kg is also in the lowest quarter. Buyers paying a premium price need to check these numbers against their actual loads before committing.
Set against named rivals, the picture is mixed rather than bad. The Farizon's 1,045kg payload beats the Renault Master E-Tech LM35's 959kg and the Ford E-Transit's 865kg, and even edges past the diesel Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315's 1,012kg. Load volume at 13m³ matches the Renault and sits ahead of the Ford's 12.4m³, though behind the Sprinter's 14m³. Range of 234 miles beats the Ford's 152 miles but trails the Renault's 252 miles, and sits below the median for electric large vans.
Where the Farizon pulls ahead is charging: 140kW peak DC puts it above the median for electric large vans, with a 20-80% top-up in 36 minutes, useful for operators needing quick turnarounds between routes. The 4-year/120,000-mile vehicle warranty and 8-year/120,000-mile battery warranty add reassurance for fleets running electric vans for the first time.
Best for
- operators needing fast DC top-ups between shifts
- loads needing more payload than rival electric large vans offer
- work needing median-class load volume
Think twice
- payload is in the lowest quarter of the class
- towing capacity is in the lowest quarter of the class
- list price sits in the highest quarter versus rivals like the Renault Master E-Tech at £43,250

Electric or diesel?
How the Farizon SV L3 H3 compares with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Van L3 H2 PRO RWD, the closest alternative across the electric line, for a typical working day.
Electric looks practical
- Range. 100 miles a day sits comfortably inside a planning range of about 164 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 33kg more (1,045kg against 1,012kg).
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10p a mile against 23.4p for diesel: roughly £3,350 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for no more than the diesel after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 234-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 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Van L3 H2 PRO RWD's official 32.1mpg.
- 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.
