A clear advantage to driving an electric vehicle is that you’ll never have to go to a gloomy petrol pump again! You can even charge the Berlingo Electric from your own home, as well as a network of nationwide charging points that are becoming more common by the day.

A standard 240 volt socket that is found in most households will fully charge the batteries in just 10 hours! Or if you don’t have this much time on your hands, a dedicated charging point will fully charge the vehicle in 30 mins. As well as this, the batteries do not discharge when you are stationary and recharge when you brake and slow down, making this one of the most efficient commercial vehicles on the market!
