Why choose an Electric Classic Camper Van for your road trip adventure?

Are you yearning for a road trip that combines the charm of yesteryears with modern-day sustainability? Look no further than an electric classic camper van! These unique vehicles offer an unforgettable travel experience that goes beyond the ordinary. If you're still on the fence about choosing an electric classic camper van for your next adventure, here are three compelling reasons why it should be your ultimate choice!

1. Freedom and Convenience:

One of the biggest draws of road trips in a camper van is the freedom it offers. Electric classic camper vans take this freedom to the next level, combining the van life experience with sustainable travel. Here's why you'll love the freedom and flexibility of van life in an electric classic camper:

Mobility On Wheels: With your accommodation on wheels, you can embark on your journey without the constraints of fixed hotel reservations or the need to adhere to rigid schedules. Forget the hassle of repacking your suitcase every time you change locations. Your belongings are always within arm's reach, making the journey seamless and stress-free.

Off-Grid Adventures: Electric camper vans encourage a flexible speed travel, allowing you to savor each moment and fully immerse yourself in your surroundings without relying on traditional fuel sources. 

With eDub camper van, we install Zonic 70 motor in our conversions capable of up to 93BHP. This is twice the power as the original had on paper, and three times the average actual running power.

Economical Travel: Electric vehicles are known for their lower operating costs compared to conventional fuel-powered vehicles. Enjoy more economical travel with reduced maintenance expenses and cheaper electricity rates for charging.

2. Sustainable Travel:

Zero Emissions: Electric camper vans produce no tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment. They also often feature regenerative braking systems, which recapture energy during braking and store it back into the battery. This technology maximizes the van's range and reduces energy wastage during your journey.

Quiet and Serene: Electric engines operate silently, providing a peaceful and serene journey. Immerse yourself in the sounds of nature and let the tranquility of the road be your soundtrack.

Sustainable Charging Solutions: Charging an electric camper van can be easily done at various charging stations along your route, including public charging points and eco-friendly campsites that offer EV charging facilities. As of 2022 there were an estimated 35,000 public charging point working and operating throughout the whole of the UK.

Iconic Designs: Electric classic camper vans, such as the beloved VW Type 2 (T1) or retro campers from the 1960s and 1970s, exude timeless appeal and iconic designs that never go out of fashion. Traveling in a classic camper van turns heads and sparks conversations, making your road trip even more memorable.

Embrace Van Life Culture: Van life is more than just a mode of travel; it's a culture that celebrates simplicity, community, and mindful living. Embrace the camaraderie of fellow van lifers and share stories around the campfire.

"There’s no denying the ID.Buzz’s quirkiness, and as a funky family runabout it’s got plenty of charm, but for an adventure like this the eDub feels the more authentic. Electric drive has given the Type 2 a new lease of life, improving on many of the original’s flaws, and secured its future in our new battery powered world."
