Vauxhall sold more electric vans than any other manufacturer in the UK last year, topping the latest sales chart.

There are currently three different vans in Vauxhall’s ‘e-LCV’ stable - the compact Combo Electric (below), medium-sized Vivaro Electric, and large Movano Electric.
The Vivaro Electric - a rival to the Mercedes-Benz eVito and the Maxus E Deliver 3 - is proving particularly popular, coming with either a 50kWh or a 75kWh battery and coming with a range of up to 205 miles.
The Vivaro Electric doesn’t skimp on the payload, either, offering a 1,226kg capacity that’s just shy of the regular, traditionally-fuelled Vivaro.
And with 5,038 electric vans sold overall in 2022, Vauxhall topped the e-LCV sales list put together by industry specialists Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
That volume of sales actually represents a rise of 73% compared with 2021, which just goes to show the increasing appetite for electric commercial vehicles.
James Taylor, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “Electric van sales grew significantly in 2022, and will continue to grow next year, as more businesses and fleets look to cut their emissions and running costs.
“It’s a testament to the breadth and quality of our all-electric LCV range that the highest share of businesses and private buyers opted for an electric Vauxhall van for the second year in a row.”
The Vivaro Electric - which amassed 4,212 sales to both business and private customers - is a multi-award winner, too.
It was named ‘Medium Van of the Year’ at the What Van? Awards 2022 and ‘Best Medium Electric Van’ at the Driving Electric Awards 2022.
The Vivaro Electric was also voted ‘International Van of the Year 2021’, alongside multiple other top honours.
