If you're laser-focused on the environment, electric vans are exciting because they'll allow many commercial vehicles to go electric. Most work vans today run on gas or diesel, aren't hybrid, and therefore get disgusting gas mileage in the city (where they mostly operate).
It’s this hybrid work vehicle plus living quarters arrangement that would do the most for me, but there’s a catch: gas-powered vans are tough to fit in a budget now. When gas is $4-5/gallon even in small cities in “flyover country,” and even more insane near the west coast, it’s hard to make the numbers work out for a van that’s supposed to both give you a place to sleep and get you to where the work is.For me, the work I’d like to chase is in places like Moab, Utah.
If I take my time though, I can take advantage of free or cheaper charging along the way, which could reduce the cost down to economy car territory. How?shows several Level 2 stations that don’t charge anything along the route, with some of them located in cool places like casinos or national parks/monuments. There are even a few free Level 3 DCFC stations here and there, including one in Moab.
To take care of all of those needs, I’d build something similar to Wilderness Vans’ “TransMoto” interior, but in whatever electric van I could come up with.
