CBP's answer: A. A: 8703.80.0045

The vans are designed to carry up to seven people, so they are motor vehicles for transporting persons (8703) rather than for goods (8704) or ten or more persons (8702). They have only electric motors, a 200-mile EPA range (not exceeding 250), and are used, which is 8703.80.0045.
