The electric van

The electric van in practice; we share all the ins and outs!

Have you wanted to try out an electric van for a long time? And would you like to minimize the CO2 emissions of your trip? Electric vans are gaining popularity among business owners! They are becoming more practically usable, and the cost is becoming more attractive. In this blog, we share 4 benefits about renting an electric van and get you started with questions about charging, range and more.

Why rent an electric van? Electric vans have several advantages over their internal combustion engine cousins. The main benefit, of course, is the reduction in CO2 emissions. By switching to electric driving, you directly contribute to cleaner air and a better environment. But there are more benefits that are definitely worth considering.

Benefit 1: No more trouble with emission-free zones

To improve air quality, more and more municipalities are introducing environmental zones. This is an area in a city where certain means of transportation that emit exhaust fumes, such as diesel vehicles, are prohibited or restricted. Currently, Amsterdam, Arnhem, The Hague and Utrecht have environmental zones for vans.

Benefit 2: Limited range? That was yesterday!

The main argument against electric vehicles is still their limited driving range, but this argument is increasingly fading. The range of electric vans is improving day by day. Depending on the model and battery, you can often travel between 150 and 300 km on a single charge. This makes it ideal for daily deliveries around town or short trips.

Benefit 3: Charging is easier than you think

And charging is easier than you think. There are now thousands of charging stations across the country, which means you can charge your van almost anywhere. In addition, there are more and more fast chargers, allowing you to get back on the road within 30 minutes. A good moment to take a break, right?

Benefit 4: In the long run, you save money

Good question: is it more expensive to rent an electric van? The rental price of an electric van is often slightly higher than that of a traditional model. But when you consider the lower fuel costs, possible tax breaks and subsidies, it may actually be more beneficial in the long run.

In short: business electric vehicles are good for the environment and for your wallet

With the addition of several electric vehicles to Avis' fleet (take a look here!), we hope to encourage environmentally conscious driving. By providing these vehicles, we can make a positive contribution to people and the environment. In addition to the positive contribution to climate goals, as a driver you also enjoy financial benefits. This is because electric cars are very beneficial in terms of the tax addition.
