If it does, that would certainly save a lot of development and research cash. Apparently the Morris is a completely new design, but LEVC do also have a van version of their electric taxi planned.

I assume the buyers of said vehicle will be those looking for a distinctive promotional vehicle, I could well see Harrods and the like getting them for city deliveries. Or even car Artists ?

bigstraight6 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I really like this concept, maybe it could lead to us driving electric ADO16’s in the future, though I would miss the A series and whining sump full of gears soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Yes I think so. Having a fancy looking ZE van would be a big selling point for a lot of businesses, and I don't just mean the ones in London. I know there is theoretically the Nissan EV100 or whatever it's called, at likely a lot less, but they've only teensy batteries since they are an early leaf in a van body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see the hyper-inflated Citroen HA vans that artisan hipsters splash out on, yes. Because green credentials. Hey Presto! Planet saved.

Depends what they're after; it's about twice the price of a eKangoo but the battery is about twice as big so the usable range should be about double, so it's swings and roundabouts. The cost of financing one will be the critical issue, if they can knock them out at a reasonable monthly rate then they should go like hotcakes.
