The electric camper van market in Spain has moved from concepts to actual sales. Models include Volkswagen ID. Buzz, Mercedes-Benz EQV, Ford E-Transit, and the Stellantis platform (Citroën ë-Jumpy, Peugeot e-Expert, Opel Vivaro-e). Additional camper conversion weight (300–500 kg) reduces real-world range by 20–30% compared to WLTP figures. Subsidies under the MOVES program (up to several thousand euros), registration tax exemption, and up to 75% reduction in vehicle tax are available.

Since May 2026, Germany has been accepting applications for subsidies on new electric vehicles, including Class M1 motorhomes under 3.5 t. The grant ranges from €3,000 to €6,000, with higher rates for households earning up to €90,000. Eligible models include the Volkswagen ID. Buzz California, Ford E-Transit Camper, and Mercedes-Benz eSprinter Camper. Key conditions: the vehicle must be new, kept for at least three years, and the motorhome must stay under 3.5 t.
A European study, involving the Dutch SolarMoves project (TNO, Lightyear), found that integrated solar panels (VIPV) can significantly reduce charging stress for electric campers. A test on a Ford E-Transit in summer yielded about 10 km of extra range per day from solar power, while large trailers could gain up to 50 km daily. However, the report notes VIPV is not a replacement for charging infrastructure but a supplement, especially in sunny regions.
Ford has launched the Transit City electric van in the Netherlands, based on the Chinese JMC E-Fushun. Three body styles are available: L1H1, L2H2, and L2 chassis cab. All variants share a 150 hp electric motor and a 56 kWh LFP battery, offering a range of up to 254 km. Pricing starts at €29,900 for the chassis cab, undercutting the larger E-Transit Custom (from €44,390).
A reader named Antoine purchased a used 2022 Ford E-Transit electric van at auction for conversion into a camper. The L2H2 model with a 3.5-ton GVW and a 75 kWh battery was bought for €16,224, while a new one started at €57,655. Its height of 2.7 meters with a roof rack limits access to some charging stations, and the planned conversion budget is around €14,000.
Winnebago has unveiled its first fully electric motorhome, the eRV2. Based on the Ford e-Transit, it offers a range of 280 km and features 900 W of solar panels. The interior includes a kitchen, bathroom, and a double bed.
