Seems the next generation #EV van family of #Toyota #Proace, #Opel #eVivaro, #Citroen #eJumpy etc still only have a 75kWh battery with a WLTP of 350km (up from 330km). They really needed to get 100km more to make them more useful in cold climates and for towing. Bummer.
Did a good long test drive of the #Citroen #eJumpy (#eDispatch in some countries) #EV #van. Close to 600km of driving, including motorway, city, rain and sunshine. Highest temperature roughly 20C and lowest I think was 11. Excellent comfort and good, basic workhorse functionality. Range was OK for this run but I’d still be a bit concerned about real winter range when the thermometer hits -20C. Would be quite useful otherwise. Ask me if you have questions about it.

Can someone explain how it makes sense that an #Opel #eVivaro / #Citroen #eJumpy Crew Cab #EV van (3 second rate seats in the rear) is more expensive, even with fewer features, than the equivalent #Zafira minibus / people carrier with lots of bells and whistles?

Not sure if that’s the case elsewhere, but certainly it is in Finland. It feels like the van versions are 10K more expensive than they should be.

The one piece of real #Cybertruck info that was slipped through at the #Tesla investor call seems to be confirmation that the final version will be shorter than 19 feet (5.79 metres). How much shorter? Wasn’t mentioned, but probably not much. That will be about 9–10cm shorter than original specs and clearly shorter than an #F150 #Lightning #EV. While not exactly a short vehicle (even an #eJumpy van is 50cm shorter), it’s still somewhat of a positive development from a European perspective.
