The Toyota Proace Verso Medium Electric - Exclusive offer from Rivervale

September 2024: In stock and available from ￡379 per month plus VAT* an exclusive deal from Rivervale.

The Toyota Proace Verso Electric combines the benefits of an electric vehicle with the versatility of a 9 seat MPV making it an obvious choice for schools and organisations looking to combine comfort, space and convenience with sustainability.

By going electric schools, businesses and organisations can lead the way in eco-friendly practises; reducing their carbon footprint, contributing to a cleaner environment for their community and set an example of sustainability.

For the driver

The Toyota Proace Verso Electric is powered by a quiet and smooth 50kW electric motor. It offers a range of between 100 and 140 miles, depending on the weight of the vehicle (passengers and luggage), the types of roads you're driving, and the electric you're using inside the car—like air conditioning or heating. So you can confidently complete close-to-home drop-offs and pick-ups or undertake longer journeys. You could drive from London to Southampton confidently on a single charge.

Charging the Proace Verso Electric is straightforward, with multiple options available to suit different needs. It supports both AC and DC fast charging, allowing you to recharge the battery up to 80% in just under an hour using a fast charger. This can mean minimal downtime between trips for schools or organizations with access to a charging station. For slower charging at home a full charge using a standard wall box takes about 7 hours, making overnight charging convenient.

For the passenger

The Proace Verso Electric does not compromise on the practicality that the Proace is known for. It offers the same flexible seating options as its diesel counterpart, with room for up to 8 passengers. The modular seating can be adjusted to prioritise either passengers or their luggage, making it versatile enough for various needs, from transporting students to carrying sports equipment.

Comfort and technology has not been overlooked. The quiet electric motor makes for a more relaxing ride and the infotainment system features smartphone connectivity, navigation, and more, ensuring that drivers and passengers stay informed and entertained.

Safety Features

Toyota has equipped the Proace Verso Electric with a range of safety features designed to protect passengers. These include advanced driver assistance systems such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. The electric version maintains the same structural integrity and safety standards as the combustion-engine models, making it a secure choice for transporting people. The regenerative braking system is effective, helping to extend the driving range by recovering energy during deceleration.

Costs and the environment

With electric vehicles, it’s important to consider the long-term savings. Operating costs for EVs are generally lower due to cheaper electricity compared to fuel, reduced maintenance needs (thanks to fewer moving parts). For schools, businesses and other organisations these savings can make a significant difference over time especially if you are paying to enter low emission or clean air zones.
