So, it’s no surprise that a survey of van buyers in Europe, also published today, finds that most want to go electric. But the supply of e-van models is lacking, which is why they account for only 3% of sales — lagging far behind battery electric cars (9%). […] Over one-third (36%) of van fleets surveyed already have at least one electric van while almost another third (32%) plan to buy an e-van this year, according to the poll of 745 fleets across Europe by Dataforce for T&E.
