Official Nissan e-NV200 thread

Or they could finally just release the eNV-200 in North America, preferably with a Bolt type battery but I might also accept a 30kwh battery if it had at least the range of the original Leaf, preferably more but hey at this point I'm getting tired of waiting.......
Personally I'm not sure how much I'd want a ICE backup generator, I'd just as soon go EV only but if it did I'd want it to be a substantial enough one to recharge the battery relatively fast and have more than a minuscule(i3) gas tank.

Every few weeks (in the summer, at least), my employer invites a half-dozen or so "food trucks" from the chic city center trade to roll up onto some spare parking acreage and show off their wares at lunchtime. Each is some sort of standard FedEx-style delivery truck converted into a mobile kitchen with fold-out awnings and sales counter, etc.. Another obnoxious feature that they all typically have is a portable generator clattering away beside them to supply their power (refrigeration, lighting, and maybe microwave cookers). I always think, as I stand in the fumes with my fingers in my ears (OK, so that last was an exaggeration), how much better the customer experience would be if the rigs were fully electric.

Maybe by 2020?

What are the chances they will announce this coming to the U.S. next week?

Slim to none, but I for one would welcome it, especially if it had at least a 30kwh battery 100+ mile range

Seems to me Nissan could sell a lot of these "40 kWh" pack e-NV200s in the USA...if it wanted to.

The 2018 Nissan e-NV200 will get a 40 kWh battery

Finally, the Nissan electric van is getting more range next year.

Currently, the Nissan e-NV200 still has the same 24 kWh battery pack made by AESC that the first generation Nissan Leaf and Renault Kangoo ZE also had.

The interesting thing is that now the Renault Kangoo ZE has a 33 kWh battery pack made with LG Chem battery cells, while both Nissan Leaf and Nissan e-NV200 maintain AESC as the battery cell supplier and will have the battery pack capacity boosted to 40 kWh. This shows us that the AESC battery cells are more energy dense than the ones made by LG Chem.

Furthermore, the 40 kWh battery means that the Nissan e-NV200 will get its current NEDC range increased from 170 km (106 miles) to around 283 km (176 miles). As a curiosity, the more efficient 2018 Nissan Leaf will get 378 km (235 miles) of NEDC range from the same battery...

Nissan retailers open order books for longer-range 100% electric e-NV200 with Limited Edition 2.ZERO

04 Jan 2018 ID: 426213347
Orders are now open to customers for the e-NV200 Limited Edition 2.ZERO, available in 2 body types, either as a regular panel van or 7-seater Evalia.
New higher capacity 40kWh battery gives drivers more than 60% extra range on a single charge with no compromise on cargo capacity
Customer deliveries will commence from spring 2018


PARIS, France (January 4, 2018) – Nissan, the world’s leading electric vehicle manufacturer, has today announced that the order books are open for its new longer range, zero-emissions e-NV200 van that goes further than ever on a single charge.



The upgraded e-NV200 now fitted with 40kWh battery is now available in Italy, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Orders will open in other countries in the next few weeks. It is available as a five-door panel van or altrnatively as a seven-seater Evalia passenger vehicle. Both models come with Radio CD MP3 Bluetooth, Auto Air Conditioning, I-key system, Cruise control, electric mirrors, Fog lamps, enhanced navigation system and Rear view Camera. They also come with a 6.6kw on-board charger and are ChaDeMo compatible for quick charge solution.



The Nissan e-NV200 now offers a 60% extended range of up to 280 km NEDC* with unchanged cargo capacity and single shift transmission that makes driving easier and safer.



Crucially, the e-NV200 can help make 100% electric last mile deliveries achievable for business and professional drivers everywhere. With customers now able to drive more than 100 km further on a single charge compared to the previous generation e-NV200 fitted with 24kWh battery.



Gareth Dunsmore, Director, Electric Vehicles, Nissan Europe, commented: “With its longer range and optimal exterior dimensions and cargo capacity, the upgraded 40kWh e-NV200 is the perfect last mile solution for urban deliveries and collections. Given the huge impact that professional drivers have on air quality and traffic congestion, especially in city centres, helping cut the level of CO2 emissions they create is a vital part of creating a more sustainable future.”



First customer deliveries of the upgraded 40kwh e-NV200 will commence from spring 2018.

I'd be in for one.....a 7 passenger version that is.
Of course since Nissan USA can't seem to be able to get their head out of their *ss, I'm not holding my breath living in the good ole' U S of A!
But I can buy 50 different types of ICE vans or SUVs
I mean Nissan currently sells a ICE version of the NV-200(I drive one) so they can't blame safety-related issues........

Not sure if this will work but here goes, a link to someone driving his older 24kWh eNV-200 w/TMS! on a longer trip in sub zero(F) Norwegian weather, a little long but entertaining IMO. Courtesy of Brock in WI
