Electric refrigerated vans for sale.

Any of them. An electric van is converted the same way as a diesel one: an insulated lining (50mm for a chiller, 75mm for a freezer) and a refrigeration unit. The best-known are the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter and eVito, the Ford E-Transit and E-Transit Custom and the Maxus eDeliver 9, and we can source and convert others. Already have an electric van? We can convert your own van.

Less than the figure in the brochure. The eSprinter we stock has an 81kWh battery and an official range of about 160 miles. That figure is for the bare van on the official test. In a fridge van the lining and the fridge unit add weight, and the fridge takes its power from the same battery, so plan on fewer miles: fewer again in winter, on hot days and on rounds with lots of door openings.

Work out your longest day: the miles, the number of drops and how long the doors are open. If that sits comfortably inside the range with a margin to spare, electric can work for you. Our electric fridge van buying guide explains how the fridge is powered and how to do the sums, or tell us your round and we’ll tell you honestly whether electric suits it.

• Overnight at your base: the 81kWh eSprinter charges from empty to full in about 9 to 10 hours on a wallbox, so it’s ready each morning.
• On the road: on a rapid charger it goes from 10% to 80% in about half an hour.
• The fridge while parked: electric standby runs the fridge from the mains, so a loaded van holds its temperature overnight without using the battery. It has to be fitted when the van is converted. Both eSprinters in stock have it. See do you need electric standby?

The batteries are heavy, and the conversion adds weight on top. Before you buy, we check the payload left after conversion against what you carry.

A standard car licence covers a fully electric van up to 4,250kg, instead of 3,500kg for a diesel, to make up for the weight of the batteries. See our fridge van driving licence guide.

• Up front: an electric van costs more than the same van in diesel. On our stock, the eSprinter chiller is £62,995 +VAT against £49,995 +VAT for a diesel Sprinter chiller, also a cancelled order.
• The plug-in van grant: the government takes up to £5,000 off a large electric van (2,500kg to 4,250kg) and up to £2,500 off a small one, at most 35% of the price. You don’t apply for it: the seller takes it off the price (GOV.UK). The government has said it will run until at least 2027, but it can close without notice, so ask us whether it applies to the van you’re looking at.
• No ULEZ charge: fully electric vans meet the London ULEZ standard, so there’s no £12.50 daily charge (TfL). See is your van ULEZ compliant?
• Finance: available to business customers from a £500 +VAT deposit, hire purchase or lease, subject to status. Part exchange is welcome, and delivery is free anywhere in the UK, Northern Ireland included.

It’s a good fit for town and city rounds, multi-drop work close to base, and anywhere clean air charges bite. It’s quiet too, which helps on early-morning and late-night drops. It’s a harder fit for long motorway runs, rounds with no time to charge, and vans that sit loaded away from a power supply. Call us on 01444 245555 and tell us about your round. If a diesel van suits it better, we’ll say so.

Yes. The Mercedes eSprinter MWB chiller and freezer vans in stock now are cancelled factory orders with delivery miles, and the list at the top of this page is live. We can also build one to order on the electric van of your choice.

On most electric fridge vans the fridge runs off the van’s main battery, so it takes some of your range. Plugged into electric standby, it runs from the mains instead. A fridge unit with its own battery is also possible: our buying guide covers the options.

On eligible new electric vans the seller takes the plug-in van grant off the price, up to £5,000 for a large van. Ask us about the van you’re looking at.

Yes. We convert customers’ own vans into chiller and freezer vans, electric included. See converting your own van.
