Living in a tiny electric van for three years

In October 2022 I bought a small electric van, a Nissan E-NV200, that became 
affectionately known as the Struggle Bus.

Getting a campervan was an upgrade from living entirely on a bicycle for a 
few years, which was a life changing experience. I was free-range hauling 
ass around Europe for years, going wherever the wind took me, but nothing 
lasts forever. Founding a reforestation charity meant I needed to get around 
the country with enough spades to cover 50-100 tree planting volunteers, or 
enough chainsaws and machetes to remove invasive species that on a bike 
would get me extremely arrested.

The Struggle Bus solved a lot of my problems (I had a few horrendous 
injuries) and problems for the charity (we were renting a lot of polluting 
diesel vans). It mainly helped me continue living 100% fossil fuel free for 
years. ...

Literally any electric van you buy now will be bigger, cheaper, go further, 
charge faster, but that was what I could afford late 2022. To be entirely 
honest I never had trouble with the electricness of it. People who complain 
about electric vehicles have 99% of the time never driven one, and it shows 
in their arguments.
