All LDV have done is remove anything ICE related and not required for an EV version, throw in the EV components bolting them in on the unchanged ICE platform and then charge an absolute rip-off markup for a sub-par product...compare this the new EV MB Sprinter which if it comes out similarly priced will really make the supposedly "cheaper" LDV competitor inconsequential.
