If you can compromise on the range, there's the Renault Kangoo ZE 33 - 33kWh battery, with 160 miles of city driving range (and Renault is known for being realistic about their EVs' ranges). Or the larger Nissan eNV200, 40kWh battery, with 187 mile range. The Renault is availabe as a nice compact 2-place work van, or a stretched 5- seater. The Nissan is available either as a 2-seat work van, or a 7-seat "Combi," the latter of which is getting a fair bit of use as a taxicab these days. The way things are going, I expect the batteries and range for both to grow over the next few years. The Kangoo's cousin Zoe has grown from 22kWh to 42kWh and now 52kWh (and 230+ mile range) since its 2011 introduction. Alas, none of them is available in the US yet. :-( If you want conversion parts for your minivan, I have a complete 1991 Escort conversion with EV parts that you could salvage. I'd like to see it gone soon, so I'll sell it VERY cheaply.
