Citroen e-Berlingo
The Citroen Berlingo is a van-based people carrier that has an absolutely huge interior. It's not just a seven-seater, but a proper 'people mover', because even adults can get comfortable in the rear seats. Now, the French brand offers a fully electric version of its MPV, called the e-Berlingo. It's a sister model to the Peugeot e-Rifter and Vauxhall Combo-e Life, all of which use the same 134bhp electric motor and 50kWh battery for an estimated 170-mile range. Prices start from just under £30,000 after the plug-in car grant (PiCG) is deducted. Read more about the e-Berlingo here, as well as its sister cars from Peugeot and Vauxhall.

Mercedes EQV
A more luxurious take on the 'van-with-windows' recipe, the EQV is the fully electric version of the Mercedes V-Class. Available configured to seat six, seven or eight people, it's largely aimed at the private-hire market, but could well make for a very spacious family car. Performance is decent enough thanks to a 201bhp electric motor, while the battery offers enough charge for a 200-mile range. We're particularly fond of the car's whisper-quiet operation and excellent refinement: perfect for a relaxing airport transfer or family getaway.
