Buying decision
EvCompassHow we calculate →
With nine seats, the 800-litre boot is slightly below the 912-litre median for segment N vans. Winter takes the 245 km range down to about 187 km, and annual electricity costs PLN 5,966.
Charging from 10 to 80% takes 38 minutes. A 100 km trip costs PLN 39.7, so higher towing and DC power do not make it an inexpensive van to run.
The e-Caravelle family includes versions with the same battery and range. Its 2,000 kg towing limit is twice the 1,000 kg median for N vans, and the 125 kW DC peak exceeds the 101 kW median.

This van handles passenger transport and a heavier trailer together; for passenger-only use, a smaller van with lower running costs is the better choice.
