The new Renault Master E-Tech has been named Best Electric Van at the 2025 DrivingElectric Awards, praised for its smooth driving experience and practicality.
Powered by an 87kWh battery, it offers a class-leading range of up to 285 miles, with a 1482kg payload and 2.5-tonne towing capacity. A 130kW DC charger can add 142 miles in 39 minutes, while a 22kW AC charger delivers a full charge in under four hours.
Its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature, coming later in 2025, will allow users to power tools and devices directly from the van.
With 20 driver-assistance systems, advanced Aerovan aerodynamics, and a modern interior with a 10-inch touchscreen, it sets a new standard for electric vans.
Paul Barker, Editor of DrivingElectric, commented: “The Renault Master E-Tech has more rivals now than when it first arrived, but a smooth driving experience and huge cargo volume make it as useful as ever.”
