THRIVE verdict
A genuinely big-load electric van: top-quartile payload and volume, but priced and towing-limited to match.
This E-Ducato carries a payload of 1,385kg, in the highest quarter of large vans, and a load volume of 17m³, in the highest 10% of the class. On the floor that's room for 5 Euro pallets or 4 UK pallets in a single row, with 8x4 sheets lying flat between the wheel arches. That makes it a strong choice for operators who need to shift both weight and bulk in one vehicle.
Range is 252 miles, above the median for electric large vans, backed by a 97.8kWh usable battery that's joint-highest in class and 150kW DC rapid charging, also joint-highest, giving a 5-80% top-up in 55 minutes. Against the equivalent diesel Ducato, the electric version costs £10,240 more after the Zero Emission Van Grant; electric running costs are lower at a depot or home charger, but higher on public rapid chargers, so the sums depend on mileage and where it charges.
List price sits in the highest quarter of large vans, and braked towing of 2,400kg is below the class median. Badge-engineered siblings from Citroën and Peugeot share identical figures at the same £52,165, while the Toyota Proace Max matches this van's payload and volume for a broadly similar price; the Farizon SV undercuts on price but carries less and tows less.
Best for
- Pallet and bulky-load distribution
- Depot-based fleets charging overnight
- Operators needing fast en-route top-ups
Think twice
- Price premium over the diesel equivalent
- Towing capacity below class median
- Check charging access if public rapid charging will be routine

Other Fiat Ducato versions
| Version | Fuel | Payload | Range / economy | Price ex VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Fiat Professional Ducato L3H2 diesel | Diesel | 1,375 kg | 30.4 mpg | £34,855 |

What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 5, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 4, 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 4m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 4,070mm, 1,422mm between the wheel arches, 2,172mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 270kg 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 2,022mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
Electric or diesel?
How the Fiat Professional E-Ducato Panel Van L4H3 4.25T Electric 270hp Automatic MY26 compares with Fiat Professional Ducato Panel Van L4H3 3.5T Heavy 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 176 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 125kg more (1,385kg against 1,260kg).
- Towing. Braked towing: 2,400kg electric, 3,000kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 11.1p a mile against 25p for diesel: roughly £3,475 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for £10,240 more after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 2.9 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 252-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.388 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 L4H3 3.5T Heavy Diesel 140hp Manual MY26's official 30.1mpg.
- 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.
