What do you think? For all you van drivers out there (and there is a lot!) would you swap your mega-efficient diesel vans for an electric, or even hybrid counterpart? The world is changing, and electric powered motors seems to be the way forward. It is far from perfect, but there is constant strides forward in improving the technology.
