MAN, a member of the Volkswagen Group, is now selling a battery-electric van, the MAN eTGE. Around 70% of light commercial vehicles used in urban areas travel fewer than 100 kilometers per day on average. A 40 kW charging station fills a battery up to 80% in 45 minutes. The average speed reached during this is low.
