The UK’s first multi-brand electric vehicle company has launched its debut EV, the DFSK EC35 van.
The battery electric cargo vehicle is powered by a 39kWh lithium-ion battery, with a range of 101 miles and limited top speed of 62mph, though customers can opt for an increased range of 166 miles and a top speed of 50mph.
The EC35 includes a combined charging system connector and can be charged to 80% in 60 minutes using a DC rapid charger.
Despite its compact footprint, 4,500mm in length by 1,680mm in width, the vehicle has a total load volume of 4.8m3 and a 1,015kg payload.
Furthermore, the EC35’s maximum load length of 2,470mm, width of 1,470mm and height of 1,130mm provide ample space.
The electric van is fitted with a 6.8” touchscreen infotainment system by Grundig, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as DAB Digital Radio and Voice Control.
It is on sale for £20,999 and comes with a five-year/75,000-mile warranty.
Paul Brigden, CEO of Innovation Automotive, founded in the Cotswolds, said: “The DFSK EC35 represents the ideal balance between zero tailpipe emissions, load carrying capability and compact dimensions. We believe it’s just what the market needs.
