THRIVE verdict
Strong range and fast charging for an electric large van, but payload is a real compromise.
The Interstar-e's 258 mile WLTP range sits in the top quarter of electric large vans we track, and its 130kW peak DC charging is above the class median too, so it should suit routes where a quick top-up matters. At £43,590 before the plug-in van grant, it's also priced below the median for large vans generally, which helps offset the usual premium of going electric.
Payload is the weak point: 1,048kg sits in the lowest quarter of large vans in our database, well below the class median of 1,260kg. The diesel Interstar sibling carries more at 1,366kg and costs £34,990 against this van's post-grant price of £3,600 more. Whether that gap is worth paying depends on mileage and where it charges, since depot or home charging costs less per mile than diesel but public rapid charging can cost more.
Against rivals, the Farizon SV carries even less at 1,045kg and costs more at £52,000, while the Maxus eDeliver 9 undercuts both on payload too at 1,040kg and offers notably less range at 171 miles. The diesel Mercedes Sprinter 315 has a similar payload shortfall at 1,012kg. None of these gives a clearly higher payload, so buyers prioritising load capacity should check actual loads carefully before committing.
Best for
- Routes needing strong electric range
- Operations with access to fast DC charging
- Cost-conscious fleets buying below median list price
Think twice
- Payload is in the lowest quarter for large vans
- Diesel sibling carries more and costs less upfront
- Battery capacity and load volume aren't verified here

Electric or diesel?
How the Nissan Interstar-e Panel Van L2 H2 35 Automatic Acenta MY27 compares with Nissan Interstar Panel Van L2 H2 35 2.0 dCi 130 Manual Acenta MY27, 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 181 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 318kg less (1,048kg against 1,366kg).
- 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 £3,600 more after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 1.4 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Loads that use the last 318kg of the diesel's payload.
- Towing more than 2,000kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 258-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.
