Electric vans are still something of a niche at the moment, with small businesses and sole traders put off by the limited range and high price. That said, there are some promising models on the way. Ford will launch the plug-in hybrid Transit Custom later this year and Mercedes Benz will launch the electric eVito in the summer while Citroen is expected to offer an electric version of the excellent Berlingo in 2020. If you live in London you may be able to apply for the ULEZ £6000 electric van grant: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/ulez-van-checker-will-you-ha.../
Will you have to pay the low emissions charge?

I need a three-seater van that can pull a horsebox. My husband wants to go fully electric, but most small vans simply don't have the power to pull a loaded trailer. Any ideas?
