Electric camper vans: best options available now in Spain

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.

Electric campers: European study suggests solution to range anxiety

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.

Transformation of a Ford E-Transit Electric Van for Vanlife

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.
