Citroen SpaceTourer MPV

Electric cars are becoming commonplace on the United Kingdom’s roads. Just about every automaker is getting in on the act. They have to! Take, for example, Vauxhall. Within the next few months, the successor to its Crossland SUV will be launched with an all-electric powertrain, meaning it will offer an electric version of every car in its range. But we aren’t hearing much about electric vans.

That is because, for commercial vehicles, the range they’d need to cover with a fully laden cargo bay isn't viable at the moment. But that’s beginning to change – and there are a handful of engineless vans out there. 

The reason we’re talking about vans is because that’s basically what the Citroen e-SpaceTourer is: a van with some seats instead of the cargo area. Based on the Citroen Dispatch, in passenger form, it's technically an MPV, but you could call it a minibus, too, seating up to nine people.

So, if you’ve got lots of kids, have many relatives you like taking on days out, or if you are lucky enough to have plenty of friends, the e-SpaceTourer could be the ‘car’ for you.
