I may well be behind the curve on this, but I couldn't help noticing a Mercedes-Benz Amazon delivery van in our village this morning was 100% Electric.

For all I know, these Sprinters might have been out and about on our roads for a while - but I've only just spotted this one.

Had a word with the driver, who said it was absolutely fine and in most ways much like driving an automatic diesel version. He said the range on a full charge was about 100 miles, which was fine for his needs. But I suspect that might not be the case for most motorhomers? :unsure:

I notice it's already got the blind spot sticker that so many people were getting uptight about yesterday (y) (y)(y)
