Campervans for the future
As electric batteries increase globally, productions costs begin to come down. New markets seem to emerge in vehicle classes and a growing trend appears to be electric camper vans.
Over time Electric vehicles will become more common in the automotive sector, as Government push towards achieving a net-zero society by the 2050 guideline. Consumers must reassess their ways and get on board with the electric future in order to benefit the planet in the fight against global warming.
So what are the main benefits of electric campervans?
Better for the environment
Electric vans are far better for the environment as they produce no carbon in their running. Fewer emissions will lead to reduced greenhouse gasses and will help to combat the fight against climate change.
Better for our health
Electric vehicles do not emit exhaust gases, reducing local air pollution. Providing better air quality, this will result in huge benefits for human health as well as providing significant benefits to our planet.
Cost-effective
Once you have paid the initial price for the van, electric vehicles are far more cost-effective than those that run on fossil fuels, costing an average of only 2p per mile to run. You’ll also be exempt from some other costs such as congestion charges and road tax.

Protecting the planet involves consuming less and rethinking our current habits. Re-using and fixing as opposed to throwing something away. Small steps will lead to huge differences collectively.
