No.

Better on highway, about same in town.

I would not let a shadetree mechanic within a mile of either an EV or a Vanagon. DIY repair is relative to your skilset. Eurovan = dealership visits.
>Do Eurovan's handle as well as vanagons?
IMHO passenger Vanagons with sorted suspensions handle better than EVs. EVs have better brakes, though.
>Cost of ownership of an Eurovan, much higher or lower than Vanagon?
EV is more expensive and harder to find a non-dealership shop to maintain them properly.
Hope that helps!
Chris.
