See February 2023 What Motorhome magazine for a road test of our Vikenze III-e plus other useful reading about electric campers in general.

November 2022:  Wheelhome Vikenze III-e awarded “Best Campervan Innovation 2023” by Campervan magazine (part of MMM and What Motorhome group).

Vikenze II-e is Wheelhome’s first fully electric campervan and is packed with unique, imaginative design and latest high-tech equipment to create an electric campervan that is capable of holidaying significant distances from home.  Testing, for example, was carried out in the Shetland Isles – a very long way from our base in the south of England, Brentwood, Essex.

Comments from the judges:  “Electric campervans are still in their infancy but one small company has shown larger brands how it can be done. The Vikenze III-e might be by far the smallest ’van in our awards this year but its battery and solar capacities put larger models in the, err, shade.”

“Everything on the habitation side is powered by a huge bank of lithium batteries under the converter’s own cab centre console – the 640Ah capacity is six times that of a typical campervan! Then there’s a 300W solar panel on the roof (three times the usual) and a 3,000W inverter to supply mains power to the appliances and three-pin sockets.”

“It’s easy to pilot, with no gears, of course, and decent performance from the 134bhp electric motor. Regenerative braking tops up the battery as you drive and we actually managed to exceed Vauxhall’s claimed range.”

“That’s typical of the clever design, which also includes suitcase style clothing storage in the roof, room for a Porta Potti (accessible at night), and even an underfloor storage compartment and space for a dog bed!”
