I think the problem is that a commercial van needs to drive the rear wheels, which means a driveshaft from a front engine (for the radiator) to the rear axle. If the vehicle wasn't designed for that driveshaft, you can't retrofit it.

@@wwbren It may be leading the sales charts today but in my personal view, Full Ev commercial vehicles make very little financial sense.
The depreciation will be HUGE -- and that, together with logevity are important parameters for the tarket market.
I predict full Ev's are a passing phase, and one I would not invest in -- never mind the dubious reliability reputation of such vehilces.
"You pays your money and takes your choice"
As someone who has spent 45 years designing and developing Automotive Electonics, a vehicle from BYD is not my choice.
Chinese manufacturers base thier business model on 'Throughput' not reliability.
Enjoy your new Ev Van for as long as it lasts.
