This is an uncommonly well engineered electric mid-sized van. But as we said of its E-Transit Custom clone, it seems strange that it should be so far ahead of its rivals in so many ways, yet is no better than them in the one area company customers will so much prioritise; driving range. And that might be an issue, given that there are cheaper (if less sophisticated) options in the segment.
Still, in driving, using and owning an e-Transporter, you will frequently be reminded where the extra money has been spent. Particularly when it comes to refinement, ride and drive dynamics. Compared to the equivalent Ford, you get a slightly nicer cab and maybe slightly better residuals. And a dealer network that really understands the needs of commercial users. It was a long time coming, this mainstream model Volkswagen EV van. But you may feel it was worth the wait.
