Elissa Garay, writer for CNN Travel, has rounded up the best platforms around the world to hire electric campervans. We’re happy to share that Goboony has made the list! Great news, as we’re striving very hard towards growing our fleet of electric vehicles in the UK and across Europe.

The article rightfully points out that hiring an electric campervan is a great way to enjoy a  holiday if you’re trying to be more environmentally friendly. Check out how the footprint of a campervan trip compares to other popular travel options, for example. It’s only logical that electric vehicles are growing in popularity in a branch of travel that is already considered to be a great alternative to a heavily polluting flying holiday. 

“The road trip-meets-camping experience afforded by camper van travel is having a moment.” We couldn’t agree more. And at the same time, electric vehicles are taking the motorhome market by storm: “Just as a movement toward electric vehicles (EVs) has swept the automobile industry — with fossil fuel-powered internal combustion engines being increasingly replaced by battery-powered electric motors — the dawn of a new electrified camper van age is emerging as well.”

Goboony is on a mission to take a turn for the better, by letting as many travellers as possible enjoy the benefits of slow travel in an electric campervan.
