Electric commercial vehicles

Match the certified range to your daily route with a margin for load, hills and air-conditioning — real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure.

Check the battery warranty separately from the vehicle warranty: its duration, the kilometre cap and the capacity it guarantees at the end of it.

Plan charging before you buy. Know the charging time on the charger you will actually use, and whether the vehicle supports fast charging or battery swapping.

Ask the dealer which government incentives apply on the day you buy, as EV subsidies and road-tax waivers vary by state and change over time.
