These are the best zero-emission vans that you can buy today, either to cover family needs or for professional purposes. Different sizes, different prices, different autonomies… but the same concept of sustainability.
In recent years, in addition to continuing to cover the needs of countless companies as professional vehicles, vans have gained ground over traditional minivans with their versions focused on families. However, the increasingly prevailing sustainability concept in all segments, including light commercials. For this reason, taking into account that everything is turning towards total electrification, it is so important to define which are the benchmarks of the category to guide those who are beginning to be interested in accessing zero-emission mobility, both in the family section and in the labor. Let’s see which are the best electric vans of 2023.

The numbers speak for themselves. The 100% electric Kangoo E-Tech was the best-selling model among its rivals throughout last year with almost 700 units registered. The new generation, which obviously has cargo and family versions, represents a great leap in terms of design, technology, security and connectivity. In addition, it declares more than enough 120 HP of power and its 45 kWh capacity battery provides about 285 km of autonomy in the combined cycle, which can become more than 400 km if we do not leave the city. Its price starts at 38,000 euros. Do you want to change her dress? The Nissan Townstar and Mercedes-Benz EQT they are “the same animal with a different collar.”

The referent of the Stellantis light commercials is positioned as the archenemy of the Kangoo E-Tech. This Citroën e-Berlingo is manufactured in Vigo and is the most in demand among the Franco-Italian consortium models, but the Fiat e-Dobló, Peugeot e-Rifter or Opel e-Combo are also for sale, with which it shares practically all its elements. . In this case, we are talking about a propulsion system that offers 136 CV of power and a battery that declares 280 km of autonomy in the combined cycle. It is sold in various sizes or lengths and its base price is set at around 35,500 euros.

For the large delivery companies, one of the best allies in urban and peri-urban environments will be the new Ford E-Transit… not only for its excellent cargo space, for the different bodies it offers, for the advanced connectivity of its SYNC 4 system or for the more than 300 km of autonomy that it covers on a single charge, but also -and above all- due to FordPro services, which allow a fleet of professional vehicles to get the most out of it. The E-Transit van has two power levels (184 and 269 CV) and its access version starts at around 65,000 euros, including promotions.
