Could you go electric?
How this van compares with Renault Master E-Tech LH35 Panel Van E-Tech Advance 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 169 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Towing. Braked towing: 2,350kg electric, 2,500kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10.3p a mile against 20.5p for diesel: roughly £2,550 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for £3,200 more after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 1.3 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Towing more than 2,350kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 242-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.36 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 Renault Master LH35 Blue dCi 130 Panel Advance MY24's official 36.7mpg.
- 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.
