After 6 years with my old work van, it’s finally time for a change… meet my brand-new Kia PV5 electric van!
In this video, we start by stripping the last of the signwriting from my old van and saying goodbye after six years together. Then it’s time to head over and finally collect the new Kia PV5 Cargo EV.
I’ll take you along for my first proper look around the van, my first drive home and my initial thoughts on what it’s actually like to drive.
Once we’re back, I give you a quick walkaround of the PV5 and take a look at some of the things that made me choose it as my next plumbing van — the range, charging, cab, load space, twin sliding doors and just how much room there is in the back.
But this is only the beginning…
Over the next few videos we’ll be transforming the Kia PV5 into a proper working plumbing and heating van — racking out the back, adding the roof rack, getting it fully branded and setting it up ready for everyday life on the tools.
Will going from diesel to a fully electric work van turn out to be the right decision? We’re going to find out in the real world.

Let me know in the comments what you think of the new van — would you run an electric van for your trade?

The van looks brilliant mate, well done, I’m pleased for you, I like to see people get new things, to see their excitement 😮.
Can’t wait to see the sign writing in situ and see it loaded up in full work mode.
Yep it would be interesting to see a cost film etc.
Have a great week with the new van, well done and as always, take care, regards Chris.👍👍👍
A breakdown of costs would be great.
Look forward to that video 👍
You won't go wrong with kia mate.
Been running their cars for around 12 years now ,very good value for money mate.

By the way the steering wheel remind me of a Austin allegro I had in the seventies 😂😂
