Renault has revealed that its new Trafic E-Tech electric van will cost from £38,000 plus VAT and comes with a choice of two batteries and a range of body styles.
The Trafic is also eligible for the UK government’s electric van grant, which snips £5k off the total list price meaning the range starts from £41,715 all told.
There are two battery options available – the 60kWh urban range pack is only available with the L1H1 Advance panel van, with up to 217 miles of WLTP range.
Both batteries have 800V tech and 11kW AC charging as standard. The urban range van charges at 160kW peak DC speeds.
The Advance trim comes with a 12.3in touchscreen infotainment, digital dashboard, heat pump for added efficiency, V2L capability to run electronics off the main battery, aircon, LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, rearview camera and 16in steel wheels as standard.
The 81kWh long range battery gets you up to 292 miles of range with peak DC charging speeds of 190kW.
It’s another £6k to get the bigger battery in the L1H1 Advance panel van and £1,200 on top of that to go for the longer L2H1 Advance panel van.
The L1H1 panel van in Extra trim starts from £49,515 including the grant with the same £1,200 uplift for the long version.
Extra trim gets you more airbags, auto aircon, a more comfortable driver’s seat, some ‘mobile office’ upgrades, wireless phone charging and 230V three-pin sockets around the cabin and load bay.
The mobile office upgrades are a folding central chair in the cabin you can use as a desk and some nifty storage options, rather than a built-in photocopier and someone to sit on reception.
There’s also a crew van option with extra passenger space that starts from £51,915 for the Advance version including the grant and the fancier Extra trim at £53,715.
All versions of the Trafic E-Tech have a maximum payload of 1,300kg, a towing capacity of 2,000kg and room for three euro pallets.
