I actually think it will be great when along with posts about gas engines and diesel, and different types of gas engines in our vans we include questions on caring for electric vans. I expect mine to run as is for a long time. But, who knows what 15 years from now might bring? But, my hope is to have a very cool electric VW camper and a very special 85 Vanagon side by side. Fingers crossed the electric one drives itself! Eric
