I'm not an electrician or a tradesman, but even I drooled over that shot of the racking in the van 🤣🤣 Delicious.

[@irrigationspecialist]

It is a really nice sortimo system. The racking with the boxes is very nice. I have this sytem in my crafter. I am a technician in greenhouse electrical and water systems. The only downsite from the boxes are the dividers in the box. They will popup a little and the items will go under the devider. So my screws got messed up. I glued them with a hotmelt gun to the bottem. Those deep drawers are amasing. Wishing you a lot of workfun with your both vans.

[@JamesScholesUK]

Kudos for going electric on your van. So long as you're diligent about having everything you need for the day, 80 miles is loads. It's avoiding the quick run back to the lockup that'll make or break, so given it's got about as much storage as your lockup anyway, you'll be fine!

[@pwaelectricalltd29]

Congratulations Jordan on your achievements so far. Hats off to you, you’ve worked very hard and you’re seeing it pay off. 👏

[@artisanelectrics]

Thank you so much!

[@smoggydrones5664]

Wow both vans are fantastic. Well done your success deserves it. As a DIYER when I get a tradesman to my house I do checkout their vehicle. I think a van can tell a lot about the driver/ company. I much prefer to see a 5 year old transit that is immaculate as it says loads. Congratulations about the 100,000 subscribers. Nice to see you kept the Door/key incident in says a-lot WELL DONE.

[@tomeasterbrook9486]

Sign-written pipe tubes!! Slick!! I’m jealous; looks awesome. Seeing as I crashed my company work van within 1st 3 months of working for them, then did the same thing to a newer van a couple years later, I don’t think they’ll be getting me a slick kitted out brand new Caddy anytime soon, not with my reputation!!!

[@jameskane9763]

for sound measurements on average every 3 dB is double as dB is a logarithmic scale so it would be 124.8 dB overall

[@n3ilvincent870]

Thank you for telling me at that was the inside of the car I would never of known otherwise, thank god your here

[@nigellewis804]

I rented a caddy once I was really impressed by it's fuel consumption

[@stephenwillis9518]

Love the vans, like the idea that the racking set up at the back is the same, meaning you can set the two vans up exactly the same, so regardless of which van you take you have the essentials there! Just be careful with long term care of your team, pinching some floor space means your guys will be over reaching and crawling in the bacj of the vans, just keep an eye on RPI's. Take care and happy new year to you guys!

[@midlam99]

Fair play for trying the fully EV. This may mean you've got another scheduling factor, and sending your man to an emergency 'just up the road' may not be possible.

[@gary.corcoran]

Great Stuff Jordan ! All the Very Best for Artisan Electrics in the future !

[@SultansKitchen1]

Congratulations on the new Artisan fleet vehicles.😊 You're van styling & racking is one of the, if not thee best setups out there.😉 Your Artisan company has come so far in a short period of time.👏🏼 You have proven once again that nothing is impossible in this life. Very impressed with these new Artisan beasts, well done.👍🏼

[@johnfenlon458]

Beautiful van!! Love VW the best!! You should put water pressure under the bottom and under the wheel because of the salt from the snow. Great work! Thumbs up!

[@yuliyanshirokanski4929]

Make sure your e transporter van hasn't got any wrong wiring or fuse as my one is with VW since November 2021 and its not fixed yet . Check for recall. Its good van but in the town you can do 55miles and distance can be even more then 82 if there is no traffic. Only I don't like it that on 7kw single phase it takes only 3.6kw and takes longer to be charged

[@johnnyfive306]

This is awesome and so inspirational to work harder and better to get to your level, you deserve it mate well done on your success

[@tonyheffernan6235]

Hello Jordan, an organised van makes the work flow, i know this from experience great set up... congratulations.

[@dannycrooks8462]

It will be great to see how the electric van does on range in every day use

[@lukejassi6952]

Love this channel! Keep the videos coming

[@wobby1516]

Draws are great until it rains, thats why our vans had the draws opening within the vans. However my company is on the west coast of Ireland where it rains a lot.

[@pinmast0r]

Normally you can't put the high pressure pipe into the lance when it's under pressure - knock the compressor off and take the water supply off then it will go in. If that saves you buying them a new one I'll take a AE Gilet ;)

[@robertwilliamson3934]

Will be interesting to see how the van works for you with such a small range Hope you keep us informed bur I suspect a for sale sign soon and a major loss

[@Ryan-re1rs]

Not well. Lol

[@Special-sock]

@@Ryan-re1rs this is ironic

[@LukeEvans-k2t]

Been tossing up if I should buy diesel or electric. My concern with Diesel is that they are going to phase them out. What do you think?

[@bentaylorramsay3078]

I think Lee should get a new van upgrade to the new Caddy, he works his arse off and truly deserves it!!

[@barkingupthetree]

Stunning vans, very impressed. 👍🏽 Hard work pays off 💃🏽

[@richardoxlade5723]

You must be chuffed. Those vans are amazing! Well done to you and good luck with the future 👍🏻

[@depthofshine]

Nice vans when did you order the caddy? im gueesing a commerce pro and already has alarm so not sure why upgrades and they pretty strong from been broken into the door lock just says you carrying expensive stuff and will just cut around it. You should of gone for a maxi and racking on side as had 2 doors and wasted space blocking back door.

[@stubsstubs]

Hiroshima was 224db, your van alarm certainly isn’t 360db, it doesn’t add up like that. When sound energy is doubled, you gain 3db. So you’re looking at about 124.8db. Still loud of course, but not as exciting as 300+db might have been 😂

[@m.bmaintenance7834]

The new vans look really well, can you keep us updated on the t6 as we are looking to change ours (more caddy sized) in sept 22 and we arnt sure if to go electric or diesel

[@artisanelectrics]

Watch this space 👍🏻

[@markstone3214]

The wrapped tubes look awesome 👍 great idea

[@markhughes2155]

That caddy is incredible!! Very jealous. 87 mile range on the transporter tho would be worrying fully loaded with all your tools.

[@markkennard861]

Van ? I started drooling when I saw the Tesla ! I'm also an electrician and waiting for mine to arrive. Good skills.

[@gunter2642]

You have done very well, good job 👍 loving the new vans

[@HogwartsBasement]

Looking good in the thumbnail buddy 👍

[@paul_smith66]

Very nice vans but I agree with a lot of people here. Think you will suffere from the range on the electric. Watching a load of reviews on electric vehicles they rarely hit their stated range and when yours is loaded and in the winter it will be interesting to see what range you do get out of it. Still a nice van though and hoping you'll keep us posted on how it does in the real world.

[@alexacb63]

They'll just need to do an extended 'soak test' of any chargers installed on a job using the van ;)

[@artisanelectrics]

Watch this space!

[@iainmcdougall3628]

Nice vans, range on the electric will be an issue in the future. Thought you would have included a sink and hand cleanser dispensers. I assume trackers in both as part of the security precautions, did you consider perimeter CCTV.

[@jaymerry9480]

Will Lee be able to put his pull down desk for his laptop on the honeycomb, that’s the real question? 😂

[@bordersw1239]

111k subscribers on an Electrician channel - WTF that’s crazy! Seriously, as a punter, I find all your vids really interesting and you deserve all the success you have. Subbed.

[@steverobinson8170]

Tip with those locks do not oil them use graphite powder , keep keys clean , if you need to clean them out use a can of compressed air, they have little tolerence inside , fantastic locks though

[@UberAlphaSirus]

They also bar a key if there is any force on them to stop slipping.

[@bluesolarmx]

I remember watching the video when you got those boots, but I cant seem to find them. We have been searching for confortable + non black (we live in a desert) + boots for electric work and those boots you guys use look nice, are they confortable? Probably not available down here , though perhaps amazon can work some magic ;)

[@bradleymay4770]

Great start to the new year with 2 New vans Jordan & CBS ~ AUTOMOTIVE fitting the new racking look Epic !! , it would have been cool for Cory to be with you. look like you have put a lot of time and money in to these van , my Favourite has to be the Caddy . How come you didn’t get 2 Caddy . So your fleet vans look all the same. . Looking forward to the new Van tour caddy with Lee How he Dixie it out with all the tools. I think the label printer will get some. Armour LOL !! ⚡️👊

[@mattWallJsy]

Great looking vans. I'm really unsure of the range limitations though. I liv on an island that's 9 miles by 5 and even I could push that.

[@gerardeccles533]

My local VW dealer is selling a 21reg electric transporter for 15k 11.48

Would have loved for you to have popped the transporter bonnet for a look inside after the EV conversion.

[@peterhull7617]

Lovely Van's I would have put 6 stars on side because you are the best

[@prawnk1ng]

FYI the decibel scale is exponential.

[@mikeselectricstuff]

37kWh battery on a van - that's pretty pathetic - I'd be surprised if you get 60 miles in winter when loaded up

[@lewis94uk]

Thank you for your support

[@kittsdiy]

that's for service calls arround the church :-) I need minimum 200-250km real range ... so no EV van for now .. maybe in couple years ..

[@effervescence5664]

82 Miles at best empty, there's a removals chap in Sussex, he only covers Brighton and it does him fine. The other 3 people I know with them down there, 2 have traded them in within the first year and the last chap has been charging it during lunch most days the last month. They got them because a traders parking permit is only £300 with a zero or low emissions vehicle but with a standard van it's £900 a year + the tax write offs and incentives. For reference the battery/drive unit is actually the one from the Golf, so if you've actually got a decent load in it many find it lacking.

[@jamieh8667]

They are very pathetic. I doubt it will even get that full of tools and heater on. We tried the Toyota Proace electric on demo as it had the most claimed range at 205 miles, we got 80 miles out of it loaded with tools and a cold day, the heater doesn’t even work on eco mode so has to be on normal mode all the time (???), and that’s a bit of duel carriage way / country driving.

[@effervescence5664]

@@jamieh8667 That's the same issue we had with a Vivaro-e. We're hopefully getting one LWB ID Buzz for trial when they're available as the longest range is 375 miles, trouble is the load limit is slightly less than a LWB Caddy at 800kg so by the time racking is fitted you're looking at 600kg for tools/fittings/materials but it will have fast charging where the ABTe doesn't.

[@whoopscrash4153]

It would be a long drive down to Cornwall to try as a camper Jordan if it only has 87 miles of range :-)

[@wajopek2679]

Nice..but With all that weight in the back hope the electric van has all wheel drive for when the snow comes...

[@MrMarkwatkinson]

How come you changed the custom for a caddy?

[@steverobinson8170]

[@Scotts_Status]

Congratulations!

[@jeffreyumeh8580]

Like depite most of your complaints in the next video being almost all user error, I do think you made a mistake going completely electric for a work van, I think a plug in hybrid that uses the engine as a DC generator to charge the batteries would have been a much supurior choice.

[@kinross24]

Why didn’t you buy the new e-vivaro with 250 mile range and much roomier and cheaper than the VW T6 ABT?

[@philiptaylor1399]

love the channel and the content jordan congrats on the new vans.

[@nibs2344]

Both vans look amazing, Racking in the Caddy looks good and useful, but can you fit in 5ft or 6ft LED fittings now the racking is there?

No only 1500 long

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

So when are you getting your old van off Corey and getting back out on the tools Jordan? :D hire an admin staff, we all you know and can tell you miss it.

[@philipsmith0752]

nice video ( boys with there toys ) the electric van with only 82 miles rage , as you travel all over the UK some times ?

[@marklangley7135]

Would you go box smart now?

[@harmlampie]

360 dB of sound is not possible. Every time you double de sound it increases with 3 dB. So 1 sirene is 120dB, then 2 makes 123dB. To double it, it takes 4 sires of 120dB to get 126dB. So in this case 3x120dB makes a total of 124.5 dB. Still loud anyway....

[@marklehmann5867]

[@thendworkshop]

I have to ask, what's the plan if the range on the Transporter becomes a problem? Is there a way of upping the battery to give you more?

How are you loading the ladders in the transport, just wondering.
