According to the latest new van registration figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), over 25% of electric vans sold in the UK this year have been Vauxhall Vivaro Electric.

The registration figures for July show that the Vivaro Electric holds a 26.6% share of electric LCV registrations in 2023, maintaining its position as the best-selling e-LCV in the UK. In July, 575 Vivaro Electric vans were sold, bringing the year-to-date total to 2,964.

Vauxhall continues to be the top-selling e-LCV manufacturer in the UK, accounting for 32.9% of the market so far this year. This means that nearly one in three electric vans sold in 2023 has been a Vauxhall.

Vauxhall stands out as one of the few manufacturers in the UK offering a fully electric van across its range of models. By 2028, Vauxhall aims to become an exclusively electric manufacturer, which is seven years ahead of the UK Government’s deadline.

James Taylor, Managing Director of Vauxhall, commented: “It’s a significant achievement that over a quarter of electric vans sold in the UK this year are Vivaro Electric. This highlights the model’s versatility and ongoing popularity among private buyers and businesses of all sizes looking to transition to electric fleets.”

The Vivaro Electric has been recognized with several awards, including ‘Medium Van of the Year’ at the What Van? Awards 2022 and ‘Best Medium Electric Van’ at the Driving Electric Awards 2022. It was also crowned ‘International Van of the Year 2021’. The van offers great flexibility, with options for a 50kWh or a 75kWh battery and a WLTP range of up to 205 miles on a single charge. It can carry a maximum payload of up to 1,226kg.
