150 mile per charge average. Not too bad. With 100kw charging speed is good. 100kwhr pack would be better and would place it at 280 mi range avg.

What a fantastic review and so happy Harry was there with you again. Totally looking forward to your trip with him to Scotland into the Highlands. I don't expect this to hit Australia but sounds like it needs a bigger battery for more range or perhaps design tweaks to give it better efficiency.

@@nicdensley4104 i agree, i think these MPV's are great in principle but you can't ignore value for money. I'd be bappy with the car size mpv but van based ev's are lagging way behing electric cars in their development. Mindyou there is a new Renault Kangoo mpv being released this year.

@TheAegisClaw 3 жыл бұрын

Good to have a van/mpv option but it's far too expensive for a fairly small battery with fairly low range.

@gigabyte2248 3 жыл бұрын

Its small van counterpart is, I think, days away from being out. Citroen e-Berlingo, Peugeot e-Rifter, Vauxhall Combo-e. Similar price point to the Nissan e-NV200 combi, available with 7 seats, 50kWh battery for a ~140 mile range, capable of DC charging up to 100kW and AC charging up to 11kW. Assuming what you need is just 7 seats, a smaller van will probably offer better range for the price. After all, vans are large and inefficient. Citroen/Peugeot/Vauxhall do a larger (more expensive) battery for their medium vans, but only for their panel vans in the UK and for all their vans in continental Europe. 75kWh, for a range of ~160 miles. Why they don't offer it in UK passenger vans... who knows?

You were saying in a previous video that the network was down for someone and they had to charge off a slower charger and if my guess is right I bet that was charge place Scotland because that happened to me a couple of years ago as I crossed the border coming home from where I’m based down south and had to be picked up and I had to leave my car overnight on a slow charger nearby. I only mention this because you are saying about travelling in Scotland.

think the up and over? back door is a godsend for keeping most of the rain off when removing wellies and loading gun dogs. The rear seat adjustment would be better at the front of the seats, but shame they are still using vehicles that look like front engine vehicles, lot of space wasted. Some enterprising person could retro fit a gear knob/lever onto that drive selector

the space between the front seats and the lack of an irritating centre console enabling you to move across to the pavement side or into the back where you can use the sliding doors is the best feature of this MPV by far. Very useful on a busy street or tight parking space.

Unfortunately, for a taxi, the range is just too low, all our cars need to be able to go to the furthest London airport and back (210 miles) and this should be any point during a shift, so add another 60 or so miles, then it might just be up to the job. Apart from that, it looks ideal

Only if you pay for it each year by getting them to service it.

@electricwhirl5175 3 жыл бұрын

@@ElectricVehicleMan if you wan't to have a valid warranty you need to service the car at dealership, that's for any car having 2,3,5,7,8 or 10 or now 15 year warranty on car itself or battery. Of course you have to calculate if that pays off for you. But still no other gives you so much warranty, even taking into account that german one million tesla which had changed battery and engines few times already in 8 years, so 15y/1 million warranty is doable for taxi drivers, delivery vans etc. and I think Toyota will have to change the battery (or at least the modules) in warranty time for the car if it will do 1 million km. I don't know how it's in UK, but in Latvia taxi drivers drive cars up to 700-800k km, inside you won't even tell the car has so big mileage.
