Depending on your usage, there are loads! I was driving an electric noddy-van for work 4-5 years ago!

I've googled electric van but had poor results, what should I be searching for? Who makes them?

edit, just found ones by nissan, renault and iveco, don't know what happened with my last search..

I had an older version of this http://www.mega-vehicles.co.uk/en-e-worker-van.html
Too slow and short a range for travelling but great for tootling around central London and looks like they've upgraded the battery options since then.

I can't find it now but UPS were using big electric vans for a while. Looks like things have come on a long way with options from big manufacturers as well now.

I would need to use it for travelling as well, and the hybrids, which have a proper range and can recharge themselves, are still very heavy and expensive. And the combustion part of the hybrid is diesel, and I will never own a diesel engine.
