Usually that is not the case, actually. How could that be?
Not only ordinary cars are becoming electric, we also see that with commercial vehicles. Now that is a completely different market. The car manufacturers are also noticing this. Where you can still sell electric cars as sexy, modern, cool or as Skoda Enyaq, that makes no difference with electric commercial vehicles.
It's about having the most favorable price below the line. Now an electric car has the advantage that the fuel costs are much lower, as well as the motor vehicle tax. That won't come as a surprise. An important question is: can you work with it enough? Electric commercial vehicles usually have a moderate range and long charging times. It depends a bit on what kind of company it is, whether that becomes problematic.
Less than 4,000 euros!
Otherwise, the cheapest electric commercial vehicle in the world is a nice alternative. You have to look through the weathered bumpers and hubcaps. The car in question is a real Renault Kangoo Z.E.from 2011. As mentioned, the car is not the most beautiful in the Netherlands, but the cheapest. The white paint does not help. But hey, you can drive around in this device for less than 4,000 euros.
Speaking of driving around, that's almost not done with this Kangoo. The odometer reading is 42,396 km. That is very little. Some of the diesel vans have traveled such a distance in a year. It's not that the counter has been rolled back. The car was delivered in the Netherlands and equipped with a National Auto Pass. That mileage is just right.
Snags cheapest electric company car
Are there still a few catches in the grass, or are there only advantages to this Kangoo? Yes, of course there are catches, including one anaconda. Firstly, the price is exclusive of VAT. Now we are normally very keen on that, but with a company car they are forgiven. But even if you have a company, you must transfer the price including. You can then reclaim the VAT later. Another snag is the battery. This is not yours when you buy the car, but from Renault.
Via a lease construction you can you da n the use of the battery. This has the disadvantage that you can easily spend eight tens a month for a battery. So within a few years you will spend more on battery rental than the car itself. On the other hand, if the battery dies (or becomes too weak), Renault will reassemble a good one. Those kinds of costs can also be quite expensive.
