Technological improvements hold the key to strengthening the electric van industry forecast. Continued progress in battery technology will result in electric vans with increased range, faster charging, and longer lifespan, addressing key concerns of consumers and businesses. Additionally, advancements in connectivity, data analytics, and autonomous features will enhance efficiency, reduce operating costs, and provide innovative solutions, making electric vans an even more compelling choice in the evolving transportation landscape.
This apart, an accelerating shift toward electric mobility will further present lucrative growth opportunities to the electric vans market in the long run. Citing an instance, in September 2023, EV supplier Bedeo announced the launch of a service to convert diesel vans into electric hybrids, with the initial focus on France to leverage government incentives for retrofitting fossil-fuel vehicles. In France, retrofitters can benefit from a 9,000-euro (USD 9,509) subsidy, contingent on each converted model passing government vehicle tests.
The basic conversion kit by Badeo is priced at 30,000 euros and includes a 37-kW hour battery. It also includes Protean Electric in-wheel motors, which are independent motors installed in the wheels of an electric vehicle, eliminating the need for traditional axles or powertrains and are fitted to the rear wheels of the converted diesel van with governments and companies across the globe making a hasty transition toward electric vehicles, the demand for electric vans is poised to gain momentum in the coming years.
