Nissan has revealed the new e-NV200 XL
Voltia, which is a larger version of its fully-electric e-NV200 panel van. The
goods transporter will be produced in three European countries by various
partners, including Gruau in France for Western Europe, the Bevan Group for the
United Kingdom, and Hollen in Slovakia for Central and Eastern Europe.
According to Nissan, the XL Voltia offers
90% more storage volume at eight cubic metres, which is up from the standard
e-NV200’s 4.2 cubic metres. This is largely thanks to the box extension that
adds around 50 cm to the vehicle’s length and height, although this does come
with some compromise, as the maximum payload is now 120 kg less at 580 kg.
Despite these changes, the load bay width
remains the same at 1.22 metres, so you’ll still be able to stuff two Euro
pallets in to the van. Also unchanged is the electric drivetrain, which
features a front-mounted electric motor with 109 (108 hp) and a 40-kWh
lithium-ion battery pack.
The latter comes with familiar charge
times, where a 50 kW DC connection (CHAdeMO standard) will see a 20-80% state
of charge (SoC) in less than an hour, while with a 7 kW wallbox (Type 1
standard), it takes around seven hours and 30 minutes.
Pricing for the model has yet to be announced, and it’s not known
whether existing owners will be able to take their vans in for the conversion.
