Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some questions we often get asked about our Electric Commercial Vehicles. If you have any more questions, please get in touch with our team.
AKFS offers a range including Electric Beavertail Car Transporters, Electric Drop & Go® Traffic Management Vehicles, Electric Dropside, Electric Load & Go® Grounds Maintenance Vehicles, Electric Minibuses, and Electric Tip & Go Tipping Dropsides.
Electric vehicles have lower "fuel" costs (electricity vs. petrol/diesel), require less maintenance due to fewer moving parts, and may benefit from lower road tax and congestion charges.
Driving range varies by model, battery size, payload, and driving conditions. We design our vehicles for practical daily operational ranges; specific range figures can be discussed for individual models.
Charging times depend on the vehicle's battery capacity and the type of charger used (e.g., fast DC chargers vs. standard AC chargers). We can provide estimated charging times for specific models.
Yes, AKFS offers electric models designed for significant payloads, with vehicles like the Electric Dropside capable of Gross Vehicle Weights from 3500kg up to 7200 kg.
Eligibility for government grants and incentives (e.g., plug-in vehicle grants) can vary. We recommend checking the latest schemes available in your region, and we can provide specifications to assist your application.
While a standard 3-pin plug can charge some vehicles slowly, for fleet operations, we recommend investing in dedicated charging infrastructure (e.g., wall boxes, fast chargers) at your depot.
Electric vehicles generally perform well in various weather conditions, though extreme cold can temporarily affect battery range. Our vehicles are built to operate reliably across climates.
Electric vehicles have fewer components than internal combustion engine vehicles, leading to reduced maintenance needs, primarily focusing on tyres, brakes, and electrical systems.
Absolutely. Customisation is a core part of our service, allowing us to tailor body types, storage solutions, ramps, and other features for various industries like traffic management or grounds maintenance.
Electric vehicles operate significantly quieter than diesel or petrol equivalents, making them ideal for urban deliveries, night-time operations, and working in noise-sensitive areas.
Modern EV batteries are designed for long lifespans, often comparable to the vehicle's operational life. Warranties typically cover battery performance for a specified duration and mileage.
Many electric commercial vehicles feature regenerative braking, which helps to extend range by converting kinetic energy back into electricity when the vehicle slows down.
While manufacturing EVs has an environmental footprint, their overall lifecycle emissions are significantly lower than traditional vehicles, especially when powered by renewable energy.
AKFS specialises in new electric vehicle conversions on suitable electric chassis. We primarily work with new base vehicles rather than converting existing diesel/petrol models.
