Finally! A fully-electric camper van with a realistic range of 320km, about 200 miles.
Based on the Mercedes EQV and converted by Tonke in the Netherlands, this van has the combined advantages of a camper van and an EV.
00:00 - Introduction
00:34 - Tour of the Tonke EQV
03:22 - Specifications, Price, Battery, and charging on campsites
06:41 - Interview with Martin from Tonke
09:03 - Outro
The Tonke EQV only has the Type 2 and CCS electrical inlet, and not a separate campsite hook-up. Therefore campsites will need to allow this vehicle to plug directly into the 16 amp socket on the EHU Bollard. Martin explains that there is the option to draw 6, 8, 10, 13, or 16 amps, but some site operators will need to review their policies in the light of such progress.

Many thanks to @Moira_Gloucestershire for bringing this vehicle to my attention.
