Electric MH anyone

I've just been reading a review of the new Opel Vivario-e and the speck is not at all bad if applied to a motorhome.
330km range, 136 bhp, 260 Nm of torque, 3,100kg GVW and 1,000kg towing capability.

I know the Vivario is probably not a suitable base vehicle for an A-class or coach-built but the powertrain performance numbers are pretty much as good as the many diesel vehicles that are.

The limited range should not be a problem for touring if camping pitches and Aires included adequate power supplies to EHU's
A regular 16 amp 220v power outlet should bring a fully discharged 75kWh battery (as in the Vivario) back to 80% overnight and to 100% in about 20 hours.
A 400v 3 phase Quick Charge charging point would whack in a full charge in 1¾ hours while stopped for lunch or 80% in less than 1 hour if stopped for just a coffee.

Not a hope of getting even half that range fully loaded and towing a trailer of 1000 kg. IMO

What about old fella in the woodpile.
The cost, how much would it put on the average 2berth 6mtr low profile?
Can you see anyone here putting in charge points for motorhome's or the French/ Spanish.when a they're still working on 2pin plugs

I really think Hybrid is the way to go.

but, the way things are shaping up in Dáil Éireann . There will be so much horesshit coming out of it, methane may be the way to go.
wonder could one get a franchise for a filling station on Merrion or Kildare Street

75 kWh onboard power would be great for wildcamping if you had a charging station nearby. Full weekend of induction cooking, microwave, tv etc. would hardly make a dent in the battery. Our house normally uses less than 10 kWh/a day and that's with all the usual household usage.

I'd expect the van to have maybe 250 km range on motorway with 75 kWh onboard at 100 km/h. The weight has very little affect on EV achievable range. Speed, roof racks, towing and in general everything that increases drag are on the other hand bad for the range.

The reason for weight thing on an EV is the regen braking so even when you use more energy going up the hills and accelerating it cancels out later on. We have driven a LEAF since 2015 and I have never seen any difference in the range regardless of number of passengers. But cold weather and wind have a very noticeable effect compared to the conventional vehicles.
