That’s the upfront cost. When you factor in the potential incentives and much lower running costs, the numbers are even better.

    I’d like to get some kind of van to use as a camper and definitely want it to be electric. It’s nice to see options out there and hopefully range will improve in the next 5 years or so. They definitely have to fight aerodynamics so we’re likely hoping battery density improves.

      Van life may still be popular, and these should hold value more than other EVs because of that, and because refurbishing interior makes more sense on used vehicles. Cargo model has a 2.4kw inverter built in.

      Range is not amazing, but its reasonable to make it cheaper. US maybe improving slowly, but models keep getting better. Seems much better than ICE model with operating savings and rebates.
