My annual circumnavigation of mainland Britain and Northern Ireland presented the perfect opportunity to try to prove that it was not only possible, but, ideally, a breeze to complete a four-week road trip in an electric van. Volkswagen thought so too, lending me an all-electric ID Buzz five-seater van, in two-tone candy white and bay leaf green, for the duration. According to the van, it was going to take two hours and 49 minutes to reach 80 per cent. Fortunately EVs comprise just 4.5 per cent — or 1.5 million — of the 34 million cars on UK roads. Chris Haslam toured the UK in a Volkswagen California campervan (volkswagen-vans.co.uk/california)Have you travelled in an electric camper van, or are you considering it?
