It's great to see Edd China back on the scene. This is a fair review. I am seriously considering buying a van rather than an SUV.

[@cannygrowabeard]

I’m only here because I went looking for 2022 workshop diary episodes 😔 P.s. I'm glad Edd and his team are taking a well earned rest. They worked damn hard on WD last year.

This video reminds us that there's always new technology out there that we are always going to spend our money on, I wonder how many people are financially capable to keep up with the waves of new technology coming up

Reading about people grabbing multi-figures monthly as incomes in investments even in this crazy days in the market, any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earning? I would appreciate

Edd, when you are coming back on your Workshop Diaries ???

Most useful van these days for any purpose including for hobbies as mountain biking,MTX,surfing etc...😎🤙

Ed China , the best

[@mikadavies660]

I used to own a Renault Kangoo EV. But back in 2014 the range was far less. Other than that it was one of the best all-round practical vehicles I have owned. Especially, when it came to running costs & servicing. So I totally agree with this review. A 10 year warranty goes to prove where we are now with electric vehicles.

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video Review

[@KellySharkey66]

Thanks Edd for the review, It was very nicely done. I have ordered a new proace city electric and it will be here around November. The question i have is.. is the height of the van really 1880mm that the toyota site say? . I see other people reviewing this van and they are still taller than the roof of the van. I know that you are 6’ 7 “ so you would tower above it, all i can think is everyone that previews the van must also be over 6’ 1” of the van. Thanks

[@lutz4423]

260 miles? Real world 230? Assuming no heating / lights etc . How long does it take to charge ? The range is not good enough for a commercial vehicle which have high mileages . Only good for city driving . Not sure what we’re going to do in 8 years time without diesel power . Also what happens to all the dead vans/ batteries after 10 years when they have no range left. It seems like we are walking into another environmental dilemma. Thanks Ed , good video .

[@joa8593]

These are delivery vans. Often in cities a delivery driver will go no more than 50-100 miles for a full day of work because they stop so often (which is good, since with climate control and heavily loaded this van will probably only get a little more than 100 miles of range). It's perhaps the only fleet vehicle where battery really makes sense, you can tell vegetarian Toyota is in on it as opposed to the hydrogen fleet vehicles they're working on for long haul work.

[@MOSSFEEN]

If you think DIESEL is going to disappear in 8 years time You need to get your head examined

[@shroomyesc]

Since the BZ4X isn't in production yet and this has been for a while already doesn't this mean Toyota's first EV in Europe is a van? Funny

[@cannygrowabeard]

Yeah pretty much, it's like Toyota is a petulant child saying to Stellantis "but I don't want to make EVs" 😭

[@alanwalsh2347]

Great video Edd will you be doing a video on the new Renault Kangoo diesel Thanks Al

[@roasthunter]

Can it take a full size sheet of plywood or plasterboard, I think the load space is too small.

[@MikMech]

Should work for most... (Edit) I've never need to travel further than 200km in a day. (Australia).

[@MrArchisat]

I ordered this Proace city electric, here in Italy it comes with the analog cockpit even if in the videos you can also see the digital one, as for peugeot citroen and fiat, but the seller says that due to the lack of the chipset microprocessors. for a van that costs me 31,000 euros I find it ridiculous, what do you think, even that of this test drive is analog.

[@toyotaprius79]

While EV is desirable, it's only thanks to the PSA. The fact that Toyota isn't pressed to offer any hybrid commercial van is more than disappointing. It's the compliance of EU fleet emissions regulations and incentives/tax write offs for diesel, but a 20 year old hybrid tech for commercials can really be beneficial for small businesses and trade. I found that a second hand Prius can do a surprisingly better job than a 5 door Freelander van in lugging around bulky items cross country, and still getting 55 mpg. The only problem is the soft springs and its low weight capability.

[@sports872]

Do they do a crew van of the Proace?

[@Solotocius]

Didn't expect to see Edd here

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

What's happened to Edd's Workshop Diaries YT channel?!

[@thatcheapguy525]

I'm guessing (hoping) this is just a sideline whilst Ed & Paul et al build new content for Workshop Diaries. good move by What Car having Ed as the van guy (or should that be 'Ed the Van Guy' © lol), he's a big lad like many vannies.

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

They have the Rangie and boat to go at. Dont get why WSD's has seemed to stop after the Christmas episode.

[@thatcheapguy525]

@@1701_FyldeFlyer much of WSDs content seemed to come from over the time since Ed left Wheeler Dealers (just look at his ever changing hair length in some episodes). I can only guess they need time and paying sponsors to get new content rolling before getting the show going again. it can't be cheap doing that show, especially post-lockdown with the production crew in high demand. fingers crossed WSD will be back VERY soon.

What about the Renault Kangoo

[@bobleone1381]

Why can't we get this van in the USA?????

[@sigma_kappa]

Sounds like he just read the brochure on this one

[@holeephuc007]

Its special because it starts at £31,140. So not aimed at tradesmen then.

[@datasamm]

Too pricey, as a Painter & Decorator I need a van but this one is way out of the budget.

[@MarkieC1990]

My company uses the diesel equivalents and one of the lads took his to a local Toyota dealer and they wanted nearly £800 for a service 😂😂😂😂

[@lahppy87]

reverse cameras is not standard

[@kathyfann]

A van has a lot of room for a big battery it should have a lot of range

[@doyle201206]

The maths still doesn’t work out. If you take the price difference iver a similar equipped diesel it’s about £13k. You would have to work 5 days a week and fully discharge the battery each time to get the value of diesel back of the £13k. This doesn’t include any electricity charges. By now you have a van with 95000 miles and 3-4 years old. It won’t be able to get a full 100% charge and it’s value is nothing. As an economical and practical viable option it just doesn’t add up.

Welcome to the Toyota Proace, I mean vauxhall combo, I mean Peugeot partner, I mean Citroen dispatch, I mean......

Compared to its sisters and brothers...it looks so boring. I would go for the Berlingo.

Did I hear you mention you were an engineer? If you're not careful, you'll be thrown out of you're profession if they hear you talking about "meters cubed" when you obviously mean cubic meters. THEY'RE NOT THE SAME! For God's sake, catch yourself on.

[@herehere3935]

Too long hood for EV car Very short cargo space. I dont see this design attractive enough to buy one.

[@bumfluffmcregor3730]

There all just the same van toyota vauxhall citroulen how blamd the world is becoming

[@drxym]

Always makes me laugh how you think you're buying a car/van by one brand and for all you know it was made by somebody else entirely. Seems more prevalent for vans, where a Mercedes van might come off a Renault assembly line. In this case it's extra funny since Toyota are notoriously anti-EV and incompetent at making them, and so they go begging to Stellantis to make something with their name on.
