All the latest news Taxi maker announces electric campervan NEC show cancelled – again

LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company), which makes electric taxis, has announced the first details and impressions of its e-Camper, the first deliveries of which will be in the fourth quarter of this year.

The e-Camper will use LEVC’s range extender technology, which provides a 60-mile electriconly range but a total range of over 300 miles. An indicative list price of £62,250 is quoted and potential customers can register their interest at levc.com/ecamper

Based on the LEVC VN5 electric van, the e-Camper has a side kitchen layout and four berths – two in the pop-top roof and two created from the sliding rear bench seat. The cab seats swivel, while, more unusually, the kitchen is all-electric.

With its taxi heritage, it’s no surprise that the LEVC campervan offers a class-leading turning circle, but it is also offered in a wide range of paint colours, as well as with coloured bumpers and alloy wheels.

Joerg Hofmann, CEO of LEVC, commented, “The campervan market is growing rapidly and, despite these vehicles being used for coastal and countryside adventures, which often include national parks and protected areas, they are still powered by petrol or diesel engines. This is a major conflict; we can see a shift in consumer attitudes, with demand for greener mobility solutions to help to protect and improve air quality. Our new electric, zero-emissions-capable e-Camper offers the perfect solution and is well-equipped with highquality features that can be tailored to meet a range of customer requirements.”
