Not just life *with* an E-van, life *in* an E-van ... -----
Living in a tiny electric van for three years Phil Sturgeon Sep 12, 2025 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.
