00:00Reliable, versatile, and efficient. Delivery vans have to be all of this and more in small
00:06island states like Jamaica as they are the backbone of our commerce, delivering goods
00:11and services all over the island. From supermarkets delivering groceries to hardware stores delivering
00:16construction material, we need our delivery vans to be efficient and reliable. But what
00:23if we could do all our business with these vans for free? No need for gas. What if we
00:29can make it electric, charge it from the sun? Well, we have the Verizon supervan, so let's
00:36get plugged in Jamaica.
01:13So, one of the standard features for this car to me has to be the lights. Now, you don't
01:17normally see lights like this on a delivery van. This is a commercial vehicle. Every time I look at
01:24it, I have to remind myself, this is a commercial vehicle guys. So, you have the nice LED headlights,
01:29even the logo illuminates. It's supposed to look really cool at night. You have your fog lights
01:34down here. It's pretty sleek and of course you can see it's purpose built from the ground up as an
01:41EV
01:42for work. So, this car sits very wide. There's a wide stance and it's very long. So, if you compare
01:49this
01:49to our highest bus and this is the shortest wheelbase that they sell, this is actually pretty big, pretty
01:57huge. It will be big enough for you to carry your cargo all around town, all right. Another neat feature
02:03it has 360 cameras, kind of scenes in 3D. So, you can even look at it on the door, back,
02:20side angle,
02:25in front of us.
02:29So, I just love how the car sits. I love the look of it. I mean, that's not one of
02:34the main features
02:36you're looking for as a business owner. You want to know if this thing can do the work,
02:39and trust me, it can. All right. So, come around the back with me. I'll show you the car. All
02:45right.
02:45So, the car has a pretty wide stance, as you said, and has double doors that open all the way
02:51out.
02:52I mean, you can look at the space here. You see how far this opens out. It's really good if
02:58you're
02:58loading large items. It's pretty easy, one-handed. It opens all the way out. Doors get out of the way.
03:07The height is pretty good and pretty wide. You can fit a Euro-sized pallet in this car, all right.
03:14And it's a lot of real estate around here. I mean, I can get in the car. I'll show you.
03:22Yeah. Pretty good. I mean, this car not only comes in cargo, but they'll also make passenger-type
03:28vehicles as well. A 15-seater. So, as a 15-seater, I think this would be really good for legroom
03:34as
03:35well. It's pretty spacious in there. There is no transmission tunnel taking up space. You have a
03:40full-size spare under the car. I mean, this car or this van received a Euro 5-star rating for
03:48safety.
03:48Now, that is pretty unique for delivery vans. I mean, there are a lot of safety features in here.
03:54It's built tough. You really need to feel the doors. They're really robust. And if you notice, there's no
04:00B pillar right here between the front and back. And that is purposely built that way to maximize
04:10space again. It's pretty sturdy still. It doesn't affect the rigidity of the car. You know, they have
04:16to even put the seat belts on the side of the door here because of the B pillar is gone.
04:21But it also
04:22acts like your digital co-pilot with full ADA safety suite featuring intelligent cruise control,
04:28emergency braking, and 360 camera. It even monitors your cargo weight and ensures you stay alert while
04:36you're at the wheel. Right now, there's a special promotion to get the super van for just 8.8 million
04:42dollars. Be sure to use our code in the description to earn even more savings when you purchase.
04:50Right here, you have some space again for cup holders. You can put your, you know, personal belongings
04:56in here. Nice little shelf. And you can tuck it away. Keep it out of sight. More storage down here
05:02for your personal items or your work documents. You have here USB-C and also USB-A type charging.
05:12This car also has Apple CarPlay. So, and that's wireless. So you don't need to plug in your phone.
05:19You just bring your phone in, wirelessly connect to the unit. And of course, that's good for safety too.
05:25You don't have to physically have your phone in your hand. You can have all your maps
05:28and other apps right here on this big screen, which is really good. Powering the Verizon Supervan is a
05:35punchy electric motor pushing 231 horsepower. Depending on the model, you'll either get a LFP or
05:42NMC chemistry battery pack delivering a solid double LTP range of 398 kilometers. That is going from
05:51Kingston to Mo Bay and back to Kingston on one charge. When you really need to charge, it has DC
05:57fast
05:58charging, which gets you from 20 to 80% battery in just 36 minutes. That's barely enough time to grab
06:04your lunch and get back to the car. I mean, remind myself again that this is a commercial vehicle.
06:11This is a delivery van, but it has features that some luxury cars don't have, you know.
06:18My favorite one if I should pick is actually the ventilated seats. Ventilated seats guys. This is not
06:24heated seats. So you know, you have the AC, the fan coming through the seats, keeping your cool on a
06:29hot day.
06:29I mean, every worker would appreciate that. So all the controls are on the steering wheel for your,
06:35you know, the infotainment, your radio, your lights, everything is here. So that's the Verizon Supervan,
06:43delivering solid electric range, a seriously smart safety suite, and built to handle the heavy lifting
06:49without burning a drop of fuel. If you found this review helpful, make sure to hit that like button
