Electric van review: Opel Combo-E does everything you’d want of a farm van but range is a concern
You need home charging and even then a range of 220km per charge will lead to anxiety – especially if you're carrying heavy tools
Performance: The Opel Combo-E has a 136hp motor powered by a 50kw/h battery pack
Electric cars and vans are becoming very common in urban areas but lesser spotted in rural settings. I decided to try and do a normal week on my tillage farm with the latest electric van offering from Opel, the Combo-E.
The Opel comes with a 136hp motor powered by a 50kw/h battery pack. For the uninitiated that gives a claimed range of 275km — but more on that later.
