Interserve fleet managers' initial views are complimentary of the zero tailpipe emissions, regenerative braking and use of latent heat for the vehicle's interior climate control and the simplicity of the charging process. Basically a standard van, after-service and accident repair costs are all predictable, and driveability and range are impressive.
