Are there any compact electric vans with decent towing ability?
Is there a compact (not small) electric van with a towing limit of 1800kg plus? Range isn’t the priority.

Unfortunately at present there are no compact electric vans that can meet this towing capacity. The Renault Kangoo E-Tech is considered a compact van and can manage up to 1500kg, so if you need to tow 1800kg you would need to move up to a medium-sized van, but this would give you much more choice. The Ford e-Transit, Citroen Dispatch, Volkswagen Transporter and Vauxhall Vivaro are all available in versions that can tow 2000kg or more.

Are there any worthwhile electric medium-sized vans on the horizon?
