Showerthought: My crew's truck hit 100,000 miles this week and I realized we've driven the distance to circle the Earth four times just for service calls.

It hit me that switching just one van to electric this year could cut our shop's fuel use by a quarter, so has anyone in a small trade made that switch and how's the math working out with charging and range?

Honestly, that's a solid idea. The math gets tricky with real world range though, especially with tools draining the battery. Have you found any electric vans that can actually handle a full day of your calls without needing a charge?

Look into the Ford E-Transit with the bigger battery pack.
