Vauxhall Movano Electric Panel Van
The Movano Electric panel van is available in one EV battery size: 75 kWh. The manufacturer claims a zero-tailpipe emission electric range up to 139 miles (WLTP) on a full charge. Of course, the real-world electric range will be lower, impacted by a number of factors, to include: payload, driving profile, speed, weather conditions, temperature, onboard services used etc. Expect a real-world e-range closer to 120 miles.
The manufacturer offers DC charging up to 50 kW. A bit disappointing given the size of the onboard EV battery. At least a capability up to 100 kW DC would have been more appropriate. In any case, at 50 kW DC, the pure electric van can can be charged up to 80% in 60 minutes. In general, we at e-zoomed recommend never letting the EV battery charge fall below 10%. So best to plan the journey, such that there is always a sufficient minimum charge in the battery.
For those new to electric driving, you will note that manufacturers display DC charging times up to 80% charge. The reason for this is because the remaining 20% charge takes much longer, as part of the battery management system to protect the EV battery.
Vauxhall offers three-phase AC (22 kW) onboard charging compatibility as standard. This is indeed good, as most commercial premises in the UK have three-phase power supply. At 22 kW AC, the 75 kWh EV battery can be fully charged in 3 hours and 30 minutes.
For those charging the electric van at home, in all probability, you will be charging at single-phase (7.4 kW), as most homes in the UK are powered by single-phase power supply. Charging at single-phase using a dedicate EV charger like easee, will take up to 12 hours to fully charge the EV battery. Though the e-van can be charged using a standard 3-PIN domestic plug, we at e-zoomed discourage using a domestic plug to charge an electric vehicle. It will take up to 30 hours and 30 minutes to charge the EV.
We at e-zoomed encourage a ‘topping up’ approach to charging an electric vehicle (EV). This is beneficial for the long-term maintenance of the onboard EV battery and of course, EV charging times are shorter. Vauxhall offers a 8 years or 100,000 miles warranty for the EV battery. Most EV manufacturers offer a similar warranty.
The e-van is available in two lengths: L3 (5998 mm) and L4 (6363 mm) and only one height (2522 mm). The electric van offers up to 15 m3 cargo volume, with a payload up to 710 kg. The EV offers 3 seats. Options include: Drive Assist – automatic emergency city braking/lane keep assist/high beam assist/traffic sign recognition, city pack – side blind spot alert/rear cross traffic alert/ rear parking distance sensors/rear-view camera and more.
In terms of performance, the Movano Electric panel van delivers a maximum power of 120 ps and 350 Nm torque. The top speed is 75 mph. The electric van also incorporates regenerative braking to improve the efficiency of the EV and increase the electric range.
The Movano-e is eligible for the UK government plug-in van grant for the ‘large vans’ category. These vehicles are between 2,500kg and 4,250kg gross vehicle weight, have CO2 emissions of less than 50g/km and can travel at least 96km (60 miles) without any emissions at all. The grant will pay for 35% of the purchase price for these vehicles, up to a maximum of £5,000.
Bottom-line, electric driving is good for the environment and the wallet! You can lease electric vehicles (EVs) via e-zoomed at very competitive prices!
