That sprinter is the same price as a Model 3 LR (360 mile WTP range) and still needs a type 2 charger. In terms of charing speed, it's also slower than the Model 3 - 80kw max vs. 250kw max.
It's definitely the type of vehicle we should be electrifying but it's not a very good implementation...
Reclassification of payloads for EV vans might be a good way to improve range as I'd imagine manufacturers are finding it very difficult to strike a balance between having a shitload of batteries and still having some load capacity remaining...
Yeah, the form factor seems ideal for massive batteries under the floor but I guess they can’t build them like that unless it’s for a cotton wool supplier or something :,)
@hoops
Such saltiness :-D
