We all know they never achieve the quoted range, so fully loaded they aren’t going to get far before needing a recharge.
Battery development will have to drastically improve before they are suitable for camper vans and motorhomes.

 

[Blue Knight]

I wonder what the range will be when it's hauling around the Highlands & Islands

 

[Spriddler]

Face, bovvered?

The Italians are bad enough with dodgy vehicle electrics without letting them loose on an electrically driven vehicle Dave.

Around 10 miles

10 to 17 cubic metres load capacity... In a Ducato.
That may be the total cubic capacity but will be the total internal dimensions of the load and passenger area

They stopped using all of the payload up when they got rid of steam a hundred years ago, how technology moves in circles

They specify the volume but I couldn't see any mention of weight. Reminds me of the chap who kept stopping and banging on the back of his 5cwt van to keep some of the 6 cwt of budgies in the air.
