THRIVE verdict
High payload and joint-highest range make this E-Ducato a strong electric choice for heavy, long-day work.
This E-Ducato carries 1,480kg, in the highest 10% of large vans we track, and still offers 13m³ of load space. That combination matters for operators who need both weight capacity and volume rather than one or the other. Load dimensions support 4 Euro pallets or 8x4 sheets flat on the floor, so it works for builders, couriers and general haulage alike.
Range is a genuine strength: 263 miles WLTP is the joint-highest figure among large electric vans in our data, backed by a 97.8kWh usable battery and 150kW rapid charging that gets you from 5-80% in 55 minutes. Against the Toyota Proace Max (260 miles, 1,460kg payload) and Farizon SV (234 miles, 1,045kg payload), this van holds its own on both range and payload.
The price is above median for large vans, and after the Zero Emission Van Grant it still lists £10,690 more than the equivalent diesel Ducato. Whether that gap pays back depends on mileage and where you charge: depot or home charging costs less per mile than diesel, public rapid charging can cost more. Towing is below median at 2,400kg, worth checking against your trailer needs.
Best for
- Heavy-payload, high-volume delivery work
- Long daily routes needing maximum electric range
- Fleets wanting fast depot or rapid-charge turnaround
Think twice
- Price premium over diesel even after grant
- Towing capacity below class median

What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 4, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 3, in a single row |
| 8 x 4 sheets (2,440 x 1,220mm) | Lie flat on the floor, between the wheel arches |
| Pipe, timber or ladders | Up to 3.7m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 3,705mm, 1,422mm between the wheel arches, 1,932mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 370kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count. Goods stacked on a pallet can stand up to about 1,782mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
Electric or diesel?
How the Fiat Professional E-Ducato Panel Van L3H2 4.25T Electric 270hp Automatic MY26 compares with Fiat Professional Ducato Panel Van L3H2 3.5T Diesel 140hp Manual MY26, the same body with the other powertrain, 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 184 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 105kg more (1,480kg against 1,375kg).
- Towing. Braked towing: 2,400kg electric, 2,500kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10.6p a mile against 24.7p for diesel: roughly £3,525 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for £10,690 more after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 3 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Towing more than 2,400kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 263-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.372 kWh a mile: the usable battery divided by the official range.
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Fiat Professional Ducato Panel Van L3H2 3.5T Diesel 140hp Manual MY26's official 30.4mpg.
- 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.
