Farizon V7E Cargo medium electric van road tested, priced from £28,000 excluding VAT
By Eve
Farizon, part of the Geely group that also owns Volvo Cars and Lotus, has launched the V7E Cargo, a medium panel van derived from its SV large van. It offers 6.95m3 of load volume, a maximum payload of 1,338kg and up to 204 miles of range with the 67kWh battery, with a tested economy of 3.04mpkWh. Prices start at £28,000 excluding VAT for the 50kWh version and £30,500 for the 67kWh model, with a warranty of five years or 125,000 miles, according to the road test published by EVNews.
Why it matters
A new, keenly priced medium electric van with a 67kWh battery widens the choice for fleet operators, which in turn shapes the depot and on-route charging demand that CPOs and installers will need to serve. The 3.04mpkWh economy figure and 204 mile range help buyers and charging planners estimate energy use per vehicle.

Foodstuffs North Island names its first electric semi, a DeepWay Star, 'Evie' after a school competition
Foodstuffs North Island Limited has named its Chinese-built DeepWay Star electric semi 'Evie', chosen by Year 2 pupil Madison in a competition run with Russell Street School in Palmerston North. The truck began delivering chilled and frozen groceries across the lower North Island earlier this year, and the unveiling was attended by Mayor Grant Smith, local MP Tangi Utikeri and local PAK'nSAVE, New World and Four Square grocers. The report comes from a news article, and the excerpt provided gives no battery, range or charging figures.
Why it matters
Foodstuffs describes Evie as its first electric truck, a sign that a major New Zealand grocery supply chain is putting heavy electric trucks into regular chilled and frozen delivery work. For CPOs and procurement teams, that points to potential depot charging demand in the lower North Island, though the excerpt gives no detail on charging arrangements.
Aniioki A9 Pro Max review: dual motor e-bike with 6,000W peak power sits between bicycle and motorcycle
A review of the Aniioki A9 Pro Max describes a pedal-equipped machine with two 2,500W direct-drive hub motors, claimed at 3,000W peak each, giving 6,000W combined peak power, up to 250 Nm of combined torque and speeds of around 45 mph. It offers a 60V 70Ah pack at 4.2 kWh or a 60V 80Ah pack at 4.8 kWh, against roughly 500 Wh to 700 Wh on typical commuter e-bikes. The reviewer says it is not a street-legal electric bicycle in the US.
Why it matters
Packs of 4.2 kWh to 4.8 kWh put products like this closer to light electric motorcycles than to e-bikes, which could mean heavier charging demand per user and different expectations of charging points. The article offers no charging details, so any procurement relevance is indirect.
Wisconsin startup Hoffman unveils the Badger, a minibus built from donor Tesla Model 3 and Model Y parts
Hoffman, a small Wisconsin startup, debuted the Badger at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. It reuses the seats, dashboard, steering wheel, motors and door handles from a donor Model 3 or Model Y, fitted to a new chassis that raises the high-voltage battery pack by one and a half inches and gives eight inches of ground clearance. The vehicle drove to the show on its own wheels using Superchargers, with sales expected to start next year at prices between the Slate Truck and Tesla Cybertruck, and the startup says it can build around 100 units per year.
Why it matters
A vehicle that keeps Tesla hardware and software can use the Supercharger network, which points to charging demand from niche conversions that sit outside mainstream OEM supply. At around 100 units per year the volumes are small, so fleet and CPO planners should treat it as a watch item rather than a near term demand driver.
