Nissan has announced full United Kingdom specifications and pricing for the e-NV200 range, an 100% electric van that will likely shake up the low emission van and taxi market globally. This new model combines the versatility and capability of the Nissan NV200, which was International Van of the Year 2010, with an electric drivetrain that operates at the moment in over 100,000 Nissan leaf models around the world.
The model is available in July in both five seat combi and panel van form and in two distinctive trim levels, the newbie offers lower running costs over a customary diesel van, which makes it an interesting proposition for both small and large businesses.
Everything you need to know about the Nissan NV 200
The charging point network is ever expanding and it is making it far easier for owners of electric vehicles to make longer journeys without worrying about their charge running out. Nissan have said that drivers of the e-NV200 can expect to benefit by up to £2,500 in fuel savings and further savings of up to £575 in maintenance costs. Additionally, the electric e-NV200 will not be paying any road tax and will also be exempt from the London Congestion Charge.
Nissan has also added to the appeal of the model with a flexible pricing structure. Customers can choose to either buy the e-NV200 outright or to opt for 'Flex', which is a battery leasing option that can reduce the initial purchase price. Whichever a driver chooses, the 100% electric model qualifies for the government grant, up to £8,000 plug in grant for the panel van and up to £5,000 plug in grant for the five seater combi.
How much will the NV 200 ranges go on sale for ?
Along with the incentive from the government, the e-NV200 van in the Acenta entry level trim, can be purchased outright for £16,562.20, whilst the combi which is similarly specced is priced at £22,859. Choosing the Flex option meanwhile, with the monthly battery rental starting from £61 each month will see the initial outlay on the same trim level fan and combi fall to just £13,393 and £17,855 respectively.So with these key points in mind, will the EV range from Nissan go on to be big sellers and will they prove to be good rivals for other EV models from the likes of BMW with the i3 and Toyota with the Prius ?.
