are, on average, 25% cheaper to own than equivalent diesel-powered models, with a cost per kilometer of €0.15 for electrics and €0.20 for diesels, in all 6 countries surveyed — France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK. The group’s calculations include all available government subsidies. Even ignoring those subsidies, electric vans have a lower cost of ownership in 5 of the 6 countries and are equal to diesel vans in Germany when subsidies are excluded.
Given the need to reduce climate emissions, oil use, and health impacts — and enable van users to reap major economic benefits — T&E urges the co-legislators from the European Parliament and Member States to deliver stronger CO2 emission targets to accelerate the uptake of e-vans in the next ten years, the organization insists.
For commercial vehicle operators, the bottom line is the most important of all considerations. If electric vans are cheaper, demand for them will increase, which will benefit all the citizens of Europe — and the world.
