Nissan e-NV200 review.
My name's Allen Hart and in today's video, we're going to look at the Nissan electric van. Leeds City Council's loaned me this van on trial, so Leeds City Council, they're trying to get businesses to change to electric vehicles. They've given me this van for two months. I've had the vehicle at the moment for six weeks, so I thought I'd run it around for a few months or a few weeks first and then I'd do a review on the van. This is a zero emissions van, so we charge it up.
We'll have a look at back first. When we have a look inside here, we can see there's quite a lot of space for a small van. As you can see, it's very spacious for a small van. It's also got double doors so for me as a plumber or a gas engineer, be able to rack this out, put my tools in one side and then be able to open the door on the other as well. What I'm going to do now, I'm going to load this up, put all my tools in, and then we're going to do a review.
Let's go for a drive. As always, when you're going to drive a vehicle, you must be DVLA registered and competent to do so and always show your DVLA card. Also, we need to be reading the installation instructions.
To start this van, all I need to do is put my foot on the brake and press the start button. This is the Nissan e-NV200 electric vehicle, and this is the low emissions or zero emissions van. This van's been given to me on trial from Leeds City Council. What Leeds City Council are doing, they're trying to promote electric vehicles and low emissions in town centres. I've been given this van for, as I say, two month trial. So far I've had it for about six weeks. I wanted to use it first for a few weeks before we did this video, because I wanted to give my long-term review, or as long as I can in that time.
The drive of the van, it's automatic. You just put it into drive and you just drive, just auto. It's really, really nice to drive. It's quiet as well. Obviously there's no emissions. Charging, charging is an important thing. I was worried with an electric vehicle about charging. I've actually got an electric car and I really like the idea of having an electric vehicle.
Charge this overnight and it gives you about 140 miles on the eco range. As I've been using it, I've only been doing between 30 and 40 miles a day, so I've got plenty of battery left. It's just steaming up now, so let's just put some... Demist the windows. For charging, on the rapid charge, you can charge to around 80% in around 40 minutes. At home, if you've got a wall box, you can charge up to 100% in around seven hours. If you've just got a standard socket, then you're looking at about 21 hours.
What do we think to this van? Well, I absolutely love it. It's, as I've said already, it's quiet. It's lovely to drive. There's quite a lot of space in the back. I am almost definitely going to buy one of these vans, I'll rack it out in the back. Yeah, I think if you're a plumber or you're a gas engineer or any trade really, if you can manage with a smaller van, then this would be a perfect van for you. Obviously it depends on the miles that you're going to do each day. If you're normally fairly local to where you live, then this would be the perfect van.
Obviously if you're going to be driving quite far away and journeys of, I would say, more than 100 miles, then obviously you might have to choose a different type of vehicle. Definitely for me, as a business, I only do short trips really, drive to a customer's house, instal them a boiler and then drive home. Or sometimes I'll do a load of servicing normally in a small area, so for me, it's just perfect. Yeah, thumbs up from me.

Brill video review! Really like the editing
Great video. Cheers Allen
Our delivery driver can't use heater or main head lights in winter full time battery capacity is reduced by cold and can just about manage his round with his woolly hat a thermals on windows open to prevent it from steaming up . its driveshaft failed and was four times the price of the petrol van .if keeping it long term replacement battery cost needs to be taken into consideration. Very cheap to recharge at moment supplier introducing duel tariffs so when more switch over the vehicle cost will rise and more taxation will be applied to keep numbers low as the capacity in the low voltage side from substation to homes simply won't be able to cope with demand of a huge take up of electric vehicle without massive upgrade of the domestic cable network system .
I drive a Transit Custom, and change it every 3 years. The next one is due for renewal in September. It might be the last diesel I buy. Just hoping the battery technology improves. Before I make the switch. Your video review, does give some reassurance, as I myself usually only do local work.

Nice video. Looking to buy one of these when I can. Did you get one in the end?
Great video, I’d also add electric heated seats and steering wheel, able to preheat whilst charging, I only do 40 miles a day in mine and only need to charge at home for 2 hours. The running and maintenance costs are super low, I save about £2k per year!

Hi Allen. I have had the 24kw version for about 2 1/2 years and it's been brilliant. So easy and nice to drive. Just picked up an E-transporter on a lease deal too.

@@AllenHart999 not massive! At worse 45ish at best well over 80. But there's a rapid charger in town and I have my lunch there if I need to. But in all the time I've had it I've maybe done that 5 or 6 times. It really isn't a problem and saves me a small fortune.

The charge point reminds me if Grohe showers cartridge 😂 Looks okay, the start button is the in on/off lol Would like to see it in Top Gear with the stig driving it round the track Thanks for sharing , I don’t know if I got that kind of money to purchase an electric van
I want to see all the trades in London make the switch asap!
I'm in Canada and I just bought another NV200 for my company. I would love more than anything to have the e-NV200. Each of my vans goes through about $400CAD in gas a month. An electric version would save me thousands per year per van.
Very nice van
You are very lucky Allen . I wanted to be a part of that dream.

No I used my friends Nv200 and it was shy by about 30 cm. I got a couple of plasterboards back with the rear door open. I guess you could get a decent roof rack though.

@@m20plumbing90 Yes I tried upright vertical and at an angle. The door wouldn't close this way. Not bad little vans for what they are. The Renault engines in the NV200 soldier on if serviced according to schedule. My daily van's a VW crafter mwb .It can be a problem finding parking at times. Drives flawlessly though.
wish they would lend me an env200 40kw , i would love one , im an appliance engineer and 40kw would be great
Might help you told us how much range you get !
Really want one but I’m not to sure about the range. I’m doing about 65 to 70 miles a day at the moment allen

70 miles in total? It will do that very very easy.
I drive the long wheel based Vivaro-e I work for BG and love the van it's perfect for zipping around Leeds although when we go to Leicester for our ACS re assessments its a bit of a pain having to stop off on the way home but I would definitely recommend a local plumber to get one if they can afford them. (I believe they are quite pricey) 😂

I drive one at work. The big draw back is the cab heating in winter. The cab can get painfully cold in the winter. I find you trade heating the cab for mileage.
Fine for short journeys only140 miles tops i would never buy an Electric motor unless it had a plus 200 miles range .
Not quite there yet for a work van. They need to make it go a minimum of 400 miles per charge.

Are you joking? What work van needs that kind of insane range, that almost no other electric car has? Who’s gonna pay for it? Work vans need to be competitive on price vs diesel models. It would be twice as expensive as it is now. Good luck selling that en masse.
How many miles did you actually get out of a full charge. As I never believe the miles they quote

When all these gas guzzling cars slowly disappear. The government will see a massive decline in ROAD TAX and FUEL VAT revenue. They can't implement extra VAT on Electricity. In the near future we will see pay as you go toll roads. This way the tax and revenue won't be much effected. We'll have to pay one way or another for road and highway maintenance. 🙄😬
