As we have the eSprinter from Mercedes Benz on review this week it makes sense that at some point, we will need to charge it.
The UK's electric vehicle charging network has expanded rapidly over the last year, and whilst most charging will be done at home, this may not be the case for vans like the eSprinter.
We have a number of chargers within 5 miles of where we are based, but as this vehicle is a little larger than our usual press vehicle, we decided to look a little further afield...
As we had to take into consideration the size of the van, we felt that a roadside charging bay might be a little too tight, so using the BP Pulse App to check what was available in Morecambe, we found a car park with two charging stations.
We headed out to it to see if we could easily fit the van there, and although it was too large for the actual charging bay, it was a good fit in terms of location and accessibility.
Watch as we take you through the process, step-by-step, and highlight are rather pertinent challenge - something local council's may have not considered.
