Seeing new video notification from your channel is like finding my favourite present under a tree on christmas morning! :-D

Beautiful work on the e-NV200

Thanks for sharing this project.

Leaf springs are the only springs I see custom made. The UK is full of leaf spring specialists. Finding custom antiroll bars on the other hand has been impossible the last 5 years of searching.

Damn, well made video and good work!

I will be tuning in to see how the van goes. I'd love to know how to splice in an additional battery for my Leaf.

Like "Rich rebuilds" with a European touch 😎👌

My ENV200 has disk brakes in the rear too. It's a 40kWh version. I find that quite remarkable.

Please do a Kia Soul battery extension 😀 btw, love your videos 🤟

i wish we can do this to my renault fluence ZE :-)

Wow. Leaf springs in this day and age! My 21-yr old Peugeot Expert at least has proper rear suspension. It also has drums though. Still pretty normal for vans I think. As you say, great pity not to put some battery in all that space underneath. And I am jealous of your shiny workshop! Subscribed.

I want to upgrade my eNV200 after watching this!

Love the video. I see you put the extended battery in parallel with the original 24kw one. It would be great if you could compile a diy kit with instructions, some wiring diagrams, pre programed can bridge, second bms, cell balancers and the way you set up to trigger the second battery contactor, you mentioned in the video, but didn’t show the hv contactor for the e-nv200. People around in Australia could buy the kit without batteries and then could byo Lifepo4 batteries boxes etc. I would do a 112s 3.2v 105ah pack. 37kwh extra. What I’m saying I would buy a kit from you and get a van from Japan Auctions.

may you look at the RV parts I remember to place a "Air Balg" between the Stopper and leaf spring suspension, get a higher load and much more comfortable ride. you need a small pressure pump and level valve all in one system .

i think it's still pretty normal for load carrying vehicles like vans and pickup trucks to have leaf springs. they perform well, are simple and reduce sway compared to coils. I would prefer coils on a passenger car though

I never realised that there was so much empty space beneath the e-nv200. They could fit a 100kWh pack in there if they wanted to.

Interesting to see what those sneaky engineers left as growth options. Would be better if I could actually buy the van here, can only get a leaf or a ice van. With that range and recharge rate it could make a fantastic day trip vehicle. Lots of room and range.

What a great build, thanks for sharing! I wondered how many extra cells you would need to add to a 40kwh model to achieve the same result? Also, could any of the extra batteries be housed beneath the front seats?

Hello! Cool! And what power was the native battery?

Neat!

15:30 now I understand the range extension.

Does the external pack have any cooling and/or heating now? Is it really required? (Is e-NV200 cooling/heating the cargo area too?)

it Good job man, goed gedaan. i just wonder about the cost N2 then cooling the new battery set? N2. then the overall programimg, how did you do that ? I would like to study these stuff so i may upgrade my car as well. Please reach out. cheers

Hi Looks very Nice. What kind of battery did you but, and is it possible to bye a copy of youre software?

Great work! I have a 40kWh ENV200 and have been looking at ways of increasing range too, however the loss of load area wouldn't work for me as I put seats in the back. Have you considered making an underslung pack that fits in the void where the spare wheel sits?

Hi there. Now I've known how to plug an additional battery,but ive got the Main question. Does your battery need to be balanced as a leaf, env batterys? I've not seen it in your videos. What kind of battery do you use in all your projects?

Would 't be an idea to build make a box or two "euro-pallets" with cabinets, a kitchen and a bed that would turn a standard e-NV200 into a campervan with extended range and a house battery. Just make it so a forklift can move it in and out in a few minutes ;-) Would be a great rental....

Where can I find the info and gain the knowledge of batteries. Iv heard a couple of times about discharge in batteries or equalising them. How will I learn the basics of why I can’t just have interchangeable packs at different charge rates etc, or a trailer with its own pack and an umbilical cord to somehow put the power to the prime mover etc. Thanks in advance

Ecuador!

Subscribed... :)

400 kilos max? How much more weight do you think it would hold with a modified suspension?

how much these batteries cost? or how much would this modification cost?

I wish these things were available in the United States. It would revolutionize vanlife. But America is so anti green right now. Hopefully when we get a new President who actually believes in global warming, science & that windmills Do NOT cause cancer more electric vehicles will be sold here.

That's a very cool upgrade, especially the part where you edit the BMS to handle an extended pack. Could you reveal some details as to how that is done?

Would love to know how much this retro fit cost ? Awesome job !!!

Hey guys😃💪, I'd Like ask where is MAIN SWITCH To disconnect the batteries? Thank you for Answer

Like it, that you think the price of to change my 24kw battery to a 40kw can be? my car nissan e-nv200 evalia 24kw from year 2014 have now 110000km and 85% soh on the battery but gues it be about 150000km and 75% to 80% soh before i can drive to you and change

Hello. Planing to do the same. What kid of cells is on the extender? Nissan?

How so you cooling the Update battery?

can you post update video about this project?

Dumb question maybe but why didn't you put some batteries in that empty space at the bottom?

Have you looked into adding helper springs over the leaf springs?

is it possible to extend the range for Toyota Prius gen 2?

I wonder if you are able to do this for a bmw i3. Adding more battery in the useless rear trunk or. Chevy bolt. Splice a cable to connect to a gas generator to trickle charge the bolt battery while driving

Show me how 😫😫, I would love to drive my van to yours, but I'm in the UK!

Is it possible to get a van in the US.?

Great project. So it originally was a 24 kWh? Great to see the splicing part, it actually looks rather straight forward.

Hi is the extension approved by the Nissan company 😀?

Great...so from 22 kWh to 66 kWh...more than the premium leaf e+ How heavy is it...and what is left for cargo? the evalia would need a diffrent solution... 4 more chargers and it could charge like a zoe at AC chargers....

Great job. Is it possible to share your experience? Do you think to expand your business in other European countries?

Lastima que no entiendo muy bien el ingles, me gustaría hacerlo en mi e-nv200 de 40kwh. Donde puedo encontrar información de como hacerlo? Gracias

What is with the annoying music int he background? Makes it hard to hear what you're saying at times. Leave it out.

How about coil over springs on the rear shocks?

Bankje er op. Raampjes er in. En hop met het hele gezin op vakantie 😎.

How is there Henk Westbroek on the radio?! 🤣🤣 Are you in the Netherlands? I saw a 2017 model with the old 24kwh battery. What would you say it's the actual value (if all works fine still)? They sell around 10.000 euro ex. Vat but i feel the actual value is more or less 5 or 6ish ( ah i looked it up, indeed Dutch :) )

so they dropped a leaf unit into a van , bloody good job Nissan ........got it to market at a decent price..........love these vans, yes more range would be good but I go all over the UK with no problem...

Hi mate, can you upgrade my ENV200? I wanted to add 3 x 24kwh battery packs to my van to give it a extra 72kwh boost.

What is the input voltage for e-nv200 DC or AC ? I am confused if I want to fast charge can I supply high AC current or it needs external DC charge?

"They could have put in a twice as large battery... but they didn't" That's the thing about gas car makers when they make electric models. They tell their designers to "Make it good, but not TOO good."

Can it do fast charger? If yes, it's perfect!

Hi ¿Where are you based & how much would you charge to add kWhs to an outlander PHEV? edgar x

Chademo charging test video?

1vandaag-beetle spotted!! What's the story behind that, that car being in your garage?

Imressive though!

A lot of these complaints he is having i kept saying its just a van chill out

Kind people! Who knows how many liters of refrigerant the e-nv200 air conditioner gets into the system?

how about the temperature management for the extra pack? Won't it throttle the whole pack charging because of the overheated extra pack?

They look like bombs LOL

HI, this is good news, you got a web page? how can one arrange a service? phone email? price? thank you

Ё здравствуйте

you want a truck to be built like a car, and the car like a truck? not many trucks have disc brakes and they are heavier, same for leaf springs the other way, not many trucks have coil springs etc.

The background music in this video seriously detracts from the viewing experience...

Wonderful Bollywood horror movie introduction for 20% of it. Get on with it, without trying to be a camera operator.

Again first :) Zero views. Have you seen on reddit. Someone made a addapter for 40KWh battery...

4:30 You really don't have a clue what you're talking about. LOL :-) The wheel wells are covered (plastic) in the front. Precisely to silent the ride. On the back there's nothing which produce a quite noisy experience. If in doubt go for a ride without the covers. The difference is staggering. ;-) Or even better if you can get some for the back the ride "quality" will benefit a lot. BTW the lack of them is the first indication of a cheap option by the manufacturer. Same applies for the suspension, brakes...etc. All clear indicators of cost cutting. Anyway nice video and presentation. Cheers

Ни хрена не понял.

Cut down the intro.
