Fiat's E-Doblo is a small EV van with big ideas. Jonathan Crouch drives the improved version.
Ten Second Review
If you think switching to electric with a small van will save money for your business in the long term, then you'll want one that'll be well looked after. Fiat's improved E-Doblo might well fit the bill. And there are few practical compromises over the diesel version.
Background
Small vans are of big importance when it comes to reducing smog in our cities. With other sizes of LCV, you can see why for many operators diesel still makes sense. Small vans though, less troubled by the issues of payload and range which trip up EV vans in other categories, ought to be electric. If you run a few in your fleet but you're still wedded to the black pump, then possibly you're just waiting for the right proposition to come along. Maybe this could be it - Fiat's E-Doblo, here usefully improved.
Historically, the Doblo model line's been Fiat through and through, but the current generation version, first launched here in mid-2022 then improved in Spring 2024, is a platform-shared Stellantis Group design. Which means it's essentially the same thing as a Citroen e-Berlingo, a Peugeot E-Partner or a Vauxhall Combo Electric; the Toyota Proace City Electric's the same too. Which means that apart from the badging, the differences here lie in value, service support and warranty. As we'll see, these are significant.
Driving Experience
One day in the not-too-distant future, you won't be able to acquire a new van of this size with a combustion engine and if you want that day to come a bit sooner, then this E-Doblo is ready to oblige. It uses a 100kW motor driving the front wheels and powered by a 50kWh battery, which when fully charged can take the E-Doblo up to 213 miles. As usual with this powertrain, there are three driving modes, 'Normal', 'Eco' and 'Power'. You won't want to spend too long in 'ECO', unless you really are eeking out battery capacity because it reduces the powertrain's normal 134bhp output to just 80bhp and also restricts the climate system to conserve power. Fiat recommends that you do most of your driving in the 'Normal' setting, which increases the motor output to 107bhp. The top 'Power' mode isn't really intended for sporty driving but for situations when you're carrying heavy loads.
The powertrain also has a 'B' setting which increases the level of regenerative braking to a point where the van slows so much when you come off throttle that you'll very rarely need to use the brake, unless you're coming to a complete stop. You need that B setting to get anywhere near the official driving range figure. As with all electric vehicles, this one has a bit of a weight problem - that drivetrain adds over 300kgs of bulk, but that arguably helps the E-Doblo when it comes to ride quality; you'll feel things like speed humps keenly, but at speed on the open road, it handles tarmac tears a little better than its diesel cousin. This E-Doblo feels really at home in an urban environment and you'll feel really confident in it because the steering is light and the suspension deals with poorer surfaces quite well. The rest to 62mph sprint takes 11.7s and the top speed is restricted to just 81mph, so this EV won't be as good as its diesel counterpart for extended motorway runs.
Design and Build
There are few outward signs that this is an EV van - unless you spot the badging or the charging socket. This E-Doblo might be a re-badged version of an existing Stellantis Group small LCV design but at least from the front end, it doesn't look it. The nose (smartened up for this revised model) gives this van its own sense of urban style, with Fiat's brand badge where you'd normally expect the grille to be: cooling is taken care of by a large intake lower down. As you'd expect, there are long and short wheelbase van and 5-seater Crew Cab versions.
Inside, where this revised model offers a smarter Fiat-branded steering wheel and upgraded fabrics, the dash and instrument layout is of course much as you'll find it with this model's other Stellantis cousins. You'll like the available 'Magic Cargo' feature, which enables the van to carry up to three people in the front seats or, alternatively, increase the cargo area's length and loading volume. The passenger-side seat can be raised and the compartment underneath used for boxes or fragile items. On the E-Doblo, one neat touch, unique at launch, is the ePTO 'Magic Plug', which makes it possible to use the battery energy to power tools or other electrical appliances.
With plusher trim, you get 10-inch screens for the instruments and the infotainment, the latter one with 'Apple CarPlay' and 'Android Auto' smartphone-mirroring. There is no lack of storage space in the cab: 16 storage points according to Fiat, these including a 15-litre area in the centre console.
Market and Model
After deduction of the available £2,500 Plug-in van grant, Fiat wants around £26,500 from you for this E-Doblo excluding VAT and on the road charges. There's a choice of standard, 'Plus' or plusher 'Primo' levels of trim and a 7.4kW on-board charger is standard, with an optional 11kW one as an alternative. The base price just quoted is for the short wheelbase L1 version. It's probably worth stretching to the long wheelbase L2 variant, which only costs £950 more. With base trim, there's also a Crew Van variant with a second fold-out seating row, available with both levels of trim from around £29,000 - ex VAT after grant deduction.
All levels of trim include quite a lot. You can tick off a near-side sliding side door (with an off-side one too in the L2 version); plus air conditioning. Entry level spec includes connected services, a Smart Phone Station (with capacity for up to 2 USB devices), a DAB radio and Bluetooth. An abundance of driver assistance features includes Lane Keep Assist, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System and High Beam Assist. The 'Plus' and 'Primo' trim levels include a 10-inch touchscreen and functionality for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The digital instrument cluster of 'Plus' and 'Primo' versions is also enhanced with a 10-inch display. 'Primo' spec gets a Multimedia Navi Pro infotainment system.
With 'Plus' and 'Primo' trim, Fiat also includes its 'Moduwork' system which allows you to push through items from the cargo bay into the cab and fold down the passenger seat to create a handy table. Across the range, there are two USB ports in the cab and your dealer will offer you accessories like rubber floor mats and ply lining for the load space. For user convenience, this E- Doblo incorporates the option of an ePTO set-up, a useful electrical socket that allows customers to have power when needing to connect a tool, a mobile workshop, or any other power system up to 400V.
Practicalities and Costs
This little LCV's load volume is up to 3.3m3 in short wheelbase form - and even with that version, there's easily enough room to slide in the usual Euro pallet. The useful load-through hatch increases capacity to 3.8m3. For the L2 long wheelbase version, the capacity figure is 3.9m3, extendable to up to 4.4m3 with the load-though hatch in use. In the L1, there's up to 1,200mm of load area height - it's up to 1,270mm in the L2; and up to 1,229mm between the wheel arches. Load length with the short wheelbase L1 version is up to 1,817mm - or 3,090mm with the load-through hatch in use. For the long wheelbase L2 variant, the respective load length figures are 2,167mm and 3,440mm. The load width is 1,630mm - or 1,527mm with twin side sliding doors fitted. The Crew Van version can take up to 4.0m3 with the second row bench folded.
Payloads for the E-Doblo standard panel van are rated at between 691 and 781kg, the latter figure close to best-in-class. Braked towing capacity is 750kg for this E-Doblo. As for practicalities, well there's a light in the top right corner at the back and six silver floor tie-downs, with the option of LED cargo area illumination and a 12-volt socket. The wheel arches aren't as intrusive to the load area as with some other small vans, but you'll still want to get them covered to prevent scratches and scrapes. With this electric version, as usual with an EV van, there's nowhere for the charging leads bag to go. With this EV, we'd want to specify Fiat's optional ePTO (Electric Power Take-Off) system, which will allow you to power external devices (like power tools or lights) from your E-Doblo's drive battery.
And running costs? Well here, there's little for operators to worry about. As you'd want, the Electric model (which is now rated at between 179.6 and 213 miles on a charge) supports up to 100kW rapid (DC) charging, with an 80% re-charge taking 30 minutes, while a full charge from a 7.4 kW single-phase wallbox takes 7.5 hours thanks to the 7.4kW on-board charger. Customers with access to three-phase power can specify an optional 11kW on-board charger that will charge the E-Doblo in 5 hours 4 minutes, when using a wallbox that also supports this faster AC home-charging solution. If you're charging from a domestic 3-pin plug, a full charge will take a yawning 31 hours 10 minutes.
You'll also need to know that Fiat Professional includes a three-year, 100,000 mile warranty as standard - better than the packages offered with the equivalent Vauxhall, Peugeot and Citroen versions of this design but way off the up-to-10 year package you could have on the Toyota Proace City version of it. A year's free breakdown cover is also provided, along with a six-year anti-corrosion guarantee. With this E-Doblo, the battery's guaranteed to 70% of capacity for up to eight years or 100,000 miles. Service intervals are every two years or 25,000 miles, depending on which comes round sooner and you can opt for a service plan that lets you pay monthly to spread the cost of regular work to your van. Fiat's warranty package can be extended up to five years at extra cost under Fiat's '555 Peace of Mind' deal, which also gets you five years of servicing and roadside assistance. Quite a few Fiat Professional dealers also look after IVECO trucks, so they're better versed in the needs of commercial operators.
Summary
The E-Doblo arrived rather late to this particular segment but that delay gave Fiat time to position its value and warranty package closer to the needs of likely operators. If you can get your dealer to throw in a lengthier five year warranty package, then you'll get a standard of after-sales cover that could really swing you this LCV's way.
Also significant is the fact that quite a few Fiat Professional dealers also look after IVECO trucks, so they're better versed in the needs of commercial operators than a dealership primarily specialising in cars would be. As for the E-Doblo itself, well the driving range and practicality stats are competitive. And prices match the class standard - which is still further above diesel engine levels than it ought to be. If you're ready to make the EV switch for this class of van though, this one makes more sense than most.
