Electric van daily checks: what is different

An electric van needs the same walkaround as a diesel one, with a few extra items.

Updated 1 November 2026 · 2 min read

The same basics

Lights, tyres, windscreen, mirrors, brakes, body and load all still apply. Tyres need particular attention, because electric vans are heavy and have strong torque.

Extra items

Safety

Drivers should not attempt repairs on high voltage systems. Report any warning or damage and let a trained technician deal with it.

Set it up in Kovi

Make an electric van template with a number item for charge percentage and a tick item for the cable and port.
