With 460,000 pure electric vehicles driving on UK roads, it’s now time for EV camper conversions. They can be small and harder to charge off-grid, but they also provide owners with a home-from-home that they love, leisurely drives and tea al-fresco while powering-up. If that doesn’t tempt you, there’s the freedom of unfettered travel and exploration, too.
The trailblazers kickstarting the trend are documenting their travels while on the road, and not everyone is paying over the odds.
Electrical business owner Geoff Norris lives in London with his girlfriend and dog, who are both from Valencia, Spain. So his Nissan ENV200, which he’s currently converting to a camper, comes in handy on his travels to see their family.

He says: “Over the last two years I’ve spent just £500 on electricity and the upfront costs of the van were £25,000 including VAT. I had a petrol van but crashed it during Covid. When I weighed up the pros and cons, I decided to go electric.
If you have apps like the Pod Point app, you can type your destination in and it’ll tell you where to charge, and you can charge for free and maintain a work and social life. My girlfriend and our dog were always out walking in the forest during lockdown. I decided with my new electric work van I would insulate it and make a bed so we could enjoy more of the outdoors.”
