whats peoples thoughts on the added Electric combi?  is it a step in the right direction

ive only briefly had a brief look but im sure it would suit some especially those that have a need for more seats on accasions or needs space for equipment etc, with other combi vans alot higher in price is the nissan good value, does it appeal ?

Fairly short range, based on the Nissan Leaf electrics, it’s an option if you don’t go far but not CCS charging.

 

Bjorn Nyland got to test it in Tenerife & Norway a couple of years ago so recorded a lot of range tests etc.

 

Rapidgates.

I have been driven in one, a campsite we stayed at in France had one to run people into town. It was okay, nice seating position, bit tight in the rear two seats. Large AP for what is a pretty basic vehicle.

Very old now it terms of Electric Vehicles and what they are capable of, Its based on the Nissan Leaf 1st Generation technology so comes with the drawbacks of that and a short range (as already mentioned) of 120 Miles ish.

Shame as its a electric van which appeals to me space wise

e-nv200 suffers really badly from Rapidgate – you can’t even get a second (let alone 3rd or 4th) rapid charge done at the claimed speeds:

This is what the e-nv200 brochure claims:

(Suggests that problem is more extreme on Leaf)

Drive 90-95kmh max (85-90) 55-60mph
Avoid overtaking

Keep power on when charging

Avoid going below 10% charge

Charge when below 25%

Active cooling on e-nv200 but  takes more energy

 

“Rapidgate (v):  To over heat battery without proper thermal management”

Could fix it with software update

 

Article starts on Leaf but then goes on to e-nv200

Some interesting discussion of Nissan’s responses to the Leaf rapid gate issue – especially regarding number of rapid charges per day (not more than 2)

Another video on the Rpidgate problem with 40kWh e-nv200

 

Another report on it

citing 1hr 43 minutes to get to 80% – it only taking a 17kW charge

Another report of it happening
