This is the Volkswagen Transporter ABTe, one of the first fully electric vans to hit the market. When I bought this van it seemed like a fantastic idea. However, one small problem: This Transporter wasn't originally built to be an electric van. It’s been converted from a normal diesel VW Transporter T6.1 van, resulting in an average range of only 50 miles…
A few months ago I saw a very interesting video created by a fellow RU-vidr NightScape, where he took an electric scooter from London to Paris.
This got me thinking. If this is possible on a scooter, maybe we could complete the same trip in what on paper could be regarded as the world’s worst electric vehicle.
With over 250 road miles to cover, a van that causes me range anxiety every time I drive it and the sole reliance on the public charging infrastructure. Could this be the most insane thing I have ever done, or a true representation of how good the public charging network actually is?

This is the video quality content that’s been missing. Informative, no sponsorship plugs and entertaining. More of this please and slightly longer A really good video

I’m in love with France, and I ain’t Lyon.

@ianclare5721 Год назад

Should try getting from London to Edinburgh in the VW Transporter be good to see how good the UK public network is.

@pawelelektryk2985 Год назад

This is the best advertisment ever for combustion engine vehicles.

@discoequipmenthire Год назад

Think I'll stick to diesel. Of course you do realise that when those stickered charging points fail, you'll be inundated with calls from Angry customers demanding it's fixed.

@didierpuzenat7280 Год назад

Based on comments, many people did not understood that the issue is with this specific vehicle. It is the problem with such "fun video", even good EVs take the blame.

@Solkre82 Год назад

Can't believe they sold a van that has less range than my 2015 Leaf with original battery.

@simoncarter4576 Год назад

You have now convinced me to keep my diesel longer lol 😆 great video though 👍

@thedroneman3379 Год назад

why on earth anyone wants an electric vehicle is just beyond me. We are basically going backwards

@Bradders-ez2nd Год назад

The infrastructure isn't there and won't be for many years to come in my personal opinion. I belive a lot of people who have bought these EV's have jumped in feet first. It's a great concept but is nowhere near a complete package. And for that I won't be buying one anytime soon. The struggles and stress you went through in this video just proves its a pain.

@angryscottishidiot Год назад

This is reminiscent of a Top Gear feature when it was at its best. Amazing job! It actually made me sad about how far Top Gear has fallen.

@davidduffill6412 Год назад

When they first said about the range being 45 miles (during winter) i thought it was just that, cause it was winter. I hadn’t realised that it’s real world range was barely 60!! :O

@racedynamix Год назад

The whole range anxiety thing makes EV a stressful experience for any long trip. In a normal car or van, that is fill up and drive there without all the stress and forced problem solving. Great video 👍

@MrPaulVickers Год назад

The future looks so much fun, back up crew, journey times increased 3 fold, and reliable infrastructure. Good video illustrating this madness.

@michaelgoode9555 Год назад

We recently bought our first EV. One of the things that bemuses me is that almost every single public charge point save Tesla requires an app or an RFID card. Can you imagine the kerfuffle if every filling station required the driver to use a different card or an app?

@MattPB Год назад

I think this is my favourite video yet, nice change from the norm. Should do a challenges videos next in teams haha. Bravo 👏🏻 on a fantastic video.

@jesseoconnell4369 Год назад

Fantastic vid Jordan, well worth the wait! rollercoaster of a journey!

@grahamcollins6810 Год назад

Love this! I have driven my Tesla from UK to Netherlands and back via Belgium and Northern France, as well as length and breadth of the UK. No problems at all and a really pleasant experience with a couple of stops in places I wouldn't have otherwise stopped. The contract of that vs the public (non Tesla) experience is stark. The other providers really do need to take a look and understand why Tesla is such a good charging service. I bought my Tesla for the car. I have kept it and love it because of the charging network
