Could you go electric?
How this van compares with Toyota Proace City Electric Icon Ply Lining, Compact Panel Van, Electric 50kWh Auto, the closest alternative across the electric line, 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 145 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. Payload is about the same: 759kg electric, 759kg diesel.
- Towing. Braked towing: 750kg electric, 1,500kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10p a mile against 15.2p for diesel: roughly £1,300 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for £608 more after the £2,500 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 0.5 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Towing more than 750kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 206.92-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 Volkswagen Caddy Cargo Maxi C20 Maxi Commerce 2.0 TDI 102PS 6-speed manual's official 49.6mpg.
- 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.
