US-based VanLab has introduced a modular conversion kit for the Kia PV5 electric van, turning it into a camper. The kit costs around $1,999 (approx. €1,840) and includes a bed and kitchen module, installed without drilling or welding. It uses the van's existing rail system and CAN be removed without residue. Thanks to the large battery and V2L function, the camper can power appliances without an extra power station.
