Could you go electric?
How this van compares with Farizon SV L1 H2, 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 31kg more (1,230kg against 1,199kg).
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10p a mile against 21.9p for diesel: roughly £2,975 a year less at 25,000 miles.
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 L2 H1 PRO RWD's official 34.4mpg.
- 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.
