Farizon, a Geely brand, has introduced the Farizon V7E, a new medium-sized electric van aimed at drivers looking for a lower-cost route into electrification.
Priced from £29,000 (excluding VAT and the plug-in van grant), the V7E sits well below many established electric vans of a similar size, where entry prices typically push beyond £35,000. That makes it one of the more accessible options for fleets weighing up the switch from diesel.
It’s offered in a single L1H1 format with two battery choices, delivering up to 149 miles or 204 miles of WLTP range. That puts it broadly in line with other medium electric vans, although not at the top end for range. Rapid charging of up to 100kW enables a 20-80% charge in around 36 minutes.
Where the V7E stands out is practicality for its footprint. Payload reaches up to 1338kg, with 6.95m³ of load space and capacity for three Euro pallets – figures that compete strongly with more expensive rivals. A lower loading height and wide side door also make it easier to use day to day.
Inside, the focus is on simplicity and value, with a two-seat layout, touchscreen infotainment and driver assistance systems included as standard.
Orders open this month, with a five-year warranty and nationwide servicing support through the AA helping to address concerns around running a newer brand.
