conventional auto. Tere’s no one-pedal option like a Nissan Leaf car, which is a shame, since once attuned it’s quite intuitive. Te interior quality is ahead of
Stellantis rivals and up there with Ford and VW. Storage is generous, with an overhead tray, big lidded glovebox and bottle holders in the door bins, but only left-hand driver Townstars get the hinged bulkhead for over length loads. A pity. An 8in screen offers all the usual phone-linking and has proper built-in navigation too. Traditionally, EVs have lacked payload, but as it was a clean sheet design, rather than an electrified existing van, the Townstar fares well with 600kg in the shorter version and 800kg in the longer, whilst another EV shortcoming, that of towing capacity, is addressed too, some 1,500kg of trailer can be hauled; double that of some rivals.
Despite that it’s a compact enough van, L1 and L2 variants sharing a 2,160mm overall width, and 1,815mm height. Wheelbases are 2.7 and 3.1 metres respectively, giving overall lengths of 4.5 and 4.9 metres. Tat translates into load lengths of 1.8 and 2.2 metres with internal widths of 1.57 at best and 1.25 metres between the wheel arches. With internal headroom of 1,215mm each, the load volumes stand at 3.3 and 4.3m3. When it comes to range, the official

figure is 183 miles, which in itself will be near-impossible to achieve, but makes for a real-world 150 miles or so. Of course, EVs break the rules on consumption, you’re better-off crawling through city traffic than blasting around the ring-road, so for local trades the Townstar should avoid range anxiety and it can charge at 11kW AC giving a full recharge in five hours. Te Acenta grade gets a faster 22kW AC on-board charger and support for 80kW DC rapid charging too.
