For businesses wishing to switch their business fleets to electric van options, the time has never been easier, with an increasingly wide selection of vehicles from multiple manufacturers now on the market.
A report earlier this year, from Vauxhall, found that 84% of UK businesses already have at least some electric vans in their fleet – with many firms aiming for all-electric fleets over the coming years.
These are the best and most important electric vans on the market across the UK and Europe in 2025 – and some that are coming in 2026.
Vauxhall Vivaro Electric
The Vivaro Electric exists as the UK’s best-selling electric van, and judged by its figures, its easy to see why. A WLTP combined range of around 219 miles is on offer, while maximum payload stands at 1,000kg.
In the UK, prices for the Vauxhall Vivaro Electric start from £38,105 – before tax, but also taking into account the UK-specific Plug-in Van Grant. Even in this most affordable ‘Prime’ trim level, the Vivaro Electric still packs a Apple Carplay/Android Auto-enabled touchscreen, automatic headlights, and cruise control. For those looking for a smaller electric van, Vauxhall also offers its Combo in fully-electric form.
Farizon SV
Chinese automaker Geely’s commercial vehicle branch, Farizon, has entered the UK this year, in partnership with local distributor Jameel Motors. The Farizon SV is one of the first electric newcomers to enter a market that has conventionally consisted of long-established and trusted brands, such as Ford, Vauxhall, and Renault.
The specification and value proposition offered by the Farizon SV could be enough to tempt fleet operators and tradespeople alike away from established rivals. Standard equipment that is unavailable on electric rivals, like an onboard payload weight monitoring system, should tick a significant convenience box.
Drivetrain-wise, 227 horsepower is delivered to the front wheels. Depending on the size of battery specified, drivable range stands at up to 247 miles on a combined cycle, giving it the capability of long-distance transport. All Farizon SVs have a maximum braked towing capacity of 2,000kg, whilst maximum internal payload stands at 1,390kg (depending on specification).
Renault Estafette E-Tech
Whilst not arriving until 2026, the Estafette E-Tech will be a particularly revolutionary electric van to hit the market. Focussed for use in heavily urban environments, the Estafette is much narrower than other electric vans – coming in at just 1.92 metres. Meanwhile, the body height stands at a lofty 2.6 metres, allowing drivers to walk between the cockpit and cargo area repeatedly during repetitive drop offs.
The Estafette is one of three all-new electric vans Renault plans to bring to market next year, in its collaboration with Flexis.
Ford e-Transit Custom
The Transit van has been a firm favourite of tradespeople for decades, and Ford is hoping to continue that popularity into the electric era with the e-Transit custom. It also includes Ford’s ‘Pro Power’ technology, allowing 2.3kW worth of power to be outputted to external devices such as laptops, lights, and electric tools, whilst off the grid.
Ford is offering the e-Transit custom in both panel van, double-cab, multi-cab, and kombi (up to 9-seater) configurations.
Kia PV5
Sales of Kia’s first fully-electric van are set to commence later this year, with the revolutionary design hoping to take on some of the established brands in the commercial vehicle space. The PV5 will be available in three body types: panel van, passenger van, and chassis cab configuration.
