Best EV Vans Coming to Australia in 2024

Battery-electric powertrains and vans are quite a good pairing, considering their unique motor layout can allow for even more cargo space and practicality than their ICE counterparts.

Electric vans are also smooth behind the wheel and capitalise on the frequent stop-start driving conditions around town by recapturing that energy during braking and feeding it back to the battery.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the best electric vans currently on sale and coming to Australia at some point in 2024.

Ford E-Transit Custom

One of the biggest arrivals in the EV van space in 2024 is without a doubt the Ford E-Transit Custom, a battery-electric take on an icon of the cargo van segment.
