The Nissan e-NV200: electrify your business for 2030

Following the UK government’s 2030 deadline for petrol and diesel vehicle sales, it’s clear that businesses – small and large – need to start thinking about how electric vans will fit into their future. The all-electric Nissan e-NV200 is an easy and dependable way to make the switch today.

With a practical rural range of 124 miles and a city range of 187 miles^[1], the compact Nissan e-NV200 is perfect for flitting between towns or threading through narrow city streets – especially when you consider that most vans do under 50 miles per day^[2].

The Nissan e-NV200 is also easy and cost-effective to charge. You can plug it into a home or work wall-mounted 7kW charger for an eight-hour overnight charge when it’s not being used, making the most of cheaper electric rates. Or, you can charge it from 20% to 80% in 60 minutes on a public 50kW rapid charger^[3] – a perfect fit for your lunch break, if you need a quick top up in the middle of the working day.

With powerful load-friendly instant electric torque, 4.2m³ of cargo space, and a 705kg maximum payload, it’s as practical and useable as its petrol or diesel equivalent. Alternatively, there’s the five- or seven-seat e-NV200 combi passenger carrier, or the XL Voltia conversion which offers up to 8m³ of cargo space.

Electric vans like the e-NV200 are exempt from congestion and Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charges, saving you £27.50 per day (or £7150 a year) in London. You can also run the e-NV200 for as little as 3.5p per mile, compared to 9.2p per mile for an equivalent diesel van^[4], while servicing costs are 20-30% cheaper.^[5]

These are just a few of the many reasons why the Nissan e-NV200 won the ‘Small Van – Best Value for Ownership Costs’ accolade in the What Car? Van Awards, with praise for its low running costs and servicing bills.

“There’s yet to be a credible rival to this big volume all-electric van,” said What Car? editor Steve Huntingford. “For most owners – especially in and around large cities where compact dimensions and low emissions are critical – the potential is there for the e-NV200 to be the perfect choice.”

^[4] Cost to charge Nissan e-NV200 40kWh for 187-mile range, based on average daytime electric rates of 16.5p per kWh (Drive Zero, August 2020). Charge cost = £6.60 (3.5p per mile). Cost for typical 1.5-litre diesel with 58.9mpg (combined) for 187-mile distance, based on average diesel price of £1.18 (AA, August 2020) 58.9mpg = 3.18 gallons = 14.5 litres @ £1.18 = £17.11 (9.2p per mile).
