It definitely seemed like a significant step forward towards a practically usable electric camper 👍

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

I thought so too, Alex 👍

@BillyBob-rm3ve Год назад

I think it’s a step backwards. I’ll stick with my lovely clean Euro-6 diesel motorhome thanks!

@Electric_camper Год назад

@@BillyBob-rm3ve it's definitely an step up. So much more comfortable than a diesel. And so much better for your environment.

@BillyBob-rm3ve Год назад

@@Electric_camper can it do 400 miles + on a single charge? Nope! Does it have a comfortable fixed bed in the back? Nope! The ‘environment’ is just fine and a ‘22 plate Euro 6 diesel is pretty damn clean emissions wise. I’m sure electric vans for motorhoming will get there eventually, but it won’t be before 2030. They just aren’t a priority for manufacturers.

@Electric_camper Год назад

It looks nice. Albeit less practical than my idea of a van I just bought an e-Expert and made my own electric Camper out of that. The factory build ones are insanely priced. (Besides every camper van is, really) I re-used the fake tankflap in these Vans instead of drilling new inlet.

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

What a great idea, @Electric_camper. I'd love to see it 👍👍

Glen, there must be a huge upfront cost to buy all the equipment, right?

What is the height of it? I wanted to just have my camper van as my only vehicle but my town has installed height barriers everywhere so I still need my car. I still don’t think there are enough charging points especially in towns for electric vehicles to be an option at the moment.

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

Hi Carolyn, the base vehicle (Toyota Proace Electric) is 1.9 metres high. The camper has the addition of the elevating roof. www.toyota.co.uk/new-cars/proace-ev/features-and-specs.EP.epr.6d1c1fcc-5850-447d-bf63-9269163e88ed

@lynnebarnes7680 Год назад

You have a 75kwh battery to provide heating and lighting and cooking. At the rate we use power wild camping in our electric Vivaro we can stay off grid for a week at a time.

@marcandsebe Год назад

I have a 2020 Toyota Proace by Wellhouse leisure and went to the show yesterday and looked over this campervan to compare with mine. The bed was a pretty standard rock and roll and the Wellhouse one is far superior. It said 205 mile range which if you go by the 20-80% rule, makes it a range of only 123 miles.

@rogerstarkey5390 Год назад

The "20% rule" is no longer a "rule" (if it ever was) The "80% rule"? Well, it depends on the cell type the top buffer on the pack and how often you charge to that level, however, the rule is in reality "don't charge to 100%..... And LEAVE it there". That stresses the cells. If you're taking a long trip, there's zero danger in timing the charge to 100% a few minutes before you leave. . If it's a LiFePo4 pack, they "like" to have a full cycle every so often, to balance the BMS. . (Yes, I do follow the latest developments in EVs and batteries) .

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

You don't say whether you have the ICE or EV version of the Proace, marcandsebe. I assume the EV version?

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

Roger and tiepup, thanks for providing your knowledge on EVs. It's made me understand them a bit more.

@marcandsebe Год назад

@@HermanHitstheRoad No I have a Euro 6 diesel 2020 version. Not sure how long the EV version has been out. I didn’t check the price of this EV version. How much was it?

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

@@HermanHitstheRoad Just seems strange to warm your own body and not the space on the vehicle if I understood correctly. I am trying to design my own electric campervan using all electric. If I can get the support to do so then I would look to run it to the most northern part of Europe and back hopefully all off-grid. Challenging given that I would like to do it in winter. Early stages at the moment though.

@carolynhaywood7701 Год назад

I just don’t think these are an option at the moment as there aren’t enough charging points especially in towns and these vehicles will be heavy due to the battery so cutting your payload down. I would doubt the accuracy of the amount of electricity you’d get in the winter. Will campsites let you charge it and how much would it cost! I also bet they are over priced too. I love to have one but I think more knowledge and information is required, I’d like to know far more about it before I’d even consider buying one.

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

EV's are more expensive than the ICE equivalent but that should start to change, Carolyn.

@Dirt-Diggler Год назад

i spose the good thing is being a camper "if" you spend most nights on a camp site charging is allways there if you can charge from the hookup? it'll be slower than most EV roadside chargers but the same as charging at home at the very least 🤔

@lynnebarnes7680 Год назад

We have the Vivaro version of this van - the longer version - converted to a campervan. Our range is over 190 miles in winter, even after conversion. We have had EVs for over 5 years and charging has never been an issue. In 60,000 miles of EV motoring we have only had to queue twice, and then for no more than 10 minutes. Just don't charge at Motorway services and it is not a problem.

@rogerstarkey5390 Год назад

If you needed extra solar in the winter (when the sun is low in the sky) you can hang fold up portable panels on the side of the van (essentially pointing directly at the sun) and plug them into the inverter to either power directly, or charge the battery.

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

Thanks Roger. I think there are a few options for charging off-grid. Do you have an EV?

@Electric_camper Год назад

@@HermanHitstheRoad I have 400WP on the roof similar to this pop-top. It's stil pulling in a misery 40 watts in heavy clouds. Not much. But more than sufficient to compensate a lot of usage. I'm storing it in a Bluetti AC200. Powering the van.

@christopherrichardson9942 Год назад

It is not the future. I had a Tesla with 350 mile range. On one trip I couldn’t find chargers. They were either broken, occupied or well out of my way. Why wait 45 minutes to charge when a petrol or diesel takes 5 minutes to fill up. Many of the gadgets ie heated seats ,lights ,head display ,indicators door locks,and heater rely on the 12 volt battery not the car battery. A friend who works for a breakdown service says it is a common occurrence to be called out because the 12 volt battery is flat.

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

Thanks Christopher.

Not all charge places are the same. Still s very usable EV for camping out. I did 2800km over 10 days touring around. You can easily achieve more when, one needs. EV powertrains are the future.
