Especially zafira-e and maybe env200 for reference since is probably the most used e-van till now

@@PaoloSulprizio Bjorn has actually tested the Nissan e-NV200 few years ago. kzfaq.infosearch?query=env%20200 But Nissan will introduce a new electric van this year probably based on the Renault Kangoo Z.E., so it could also be interesting vehicle to test.

agree, i want to buy bigger car with more family member to sit inside.

It's not the version with the bed inside.

sod the 1000 k challenge .. we all want to see the banana box test

This is a really useful point of view ... (perfect idea)

@@mrmerm this is i will do if i will be Mercedes. And Also because i want to have EQV Marco Polo lol instead of the actual one.

@@nicolassiffert2165 I love Marco Polo edition ...

@@mrmerm me too. It is the last fosil véhicule what we have and i hope electric version will come.

I wouldn't hold your breath, as sad as that makes me. This van just can't take much more weight. The full camping kit and a full tank of water would push it past 3.5 tonnes without any passengers or luggage on board.

how is 47 kWh larger than 100 kWh?

yeah you can sleep in it over the 2 days of driving.

@@kelimanjaro1091 I was not comparing it to the EQV. The e-Sprinter is available in 35 and 47 kWh.

Just like Audi, this is claimed by the manufacturer but it actually doesn't happen.

thats not Winter range, thats frozen wasteland range.

Don`t forget how expensive it is to charge such a large, not aerodynamic EV like a van... Its crazy expensive to fast charge it compared to diesel...

IMHO keep the diesel for now. The EQV electric consumption on highway makes no sense for trips unless you live in a place with good fast chargers density (such as Norway) and need the whole room or seats of a van. If not, a regular electric car would be a much better option. However, try to delay your EV travels to Spain. The fast charging network is still on early stages and you can't find any options for many routes. I know diesel nowadays is considered something close to evil who eats unborn children for breakfast, but it's still one of the less bad options for long road trips. Of course, emissions are higher in diesel than in EV, but not very far if you consider the primary energy mix in Spain. Also, the high power charger costs are similar to diesel fuel cost per kilometer. And, when needing high amounts of power, such as in that 3 tons 100 kWh beast, diesel efficiency is not as bad related to EV as on a normal city car, where EV is clearly much, much better. So, long story short, I would advice to keep the diesel for now. I also have a diesel car for this kind of use and an hybrid for slower or city traffic. Just waiting for a good EV infrastructure that most likely will come in a few years. Then, I may consider to give a rest to the diesel 😬

@@Robcomesana This was done at -20°C degrees, which is insane. If you drive in summer(20/30°C) you will be able to do 1000km in 11:30-12:00 hrs. if you plan your charging stops perfectly.

@@alfrredd Sure, I agree completely. But, still, a vehicle so heavy with a big front area and not very refined Cx will have a very poor efficiency at highway speeds, both for diesel and EV. However, this penalty is higher in EV, because you have much less energy on-board and it takes much longer to "refill" it. Of course, I guess those 400 Wh/km won't be a summer average. Well, at least it shouldn't 😬 PD: And, also, keep in mind the lack of EV fast chargers in Spain

In advance, Sorry for going all eco warrior. Don't go EV for the wrong reasons. Consumerism != environmentalism, even though the ads say otherwise. Use EVs for what they are good for. Buy used or rent a diesel for the cases it makes more sense. ICE cost of ownership is comparatively going up, and people will vote with their wallet. Of course, EQV will be able to take the trip, but it will hurt. Ref Porsche Tåken owner driving from Norway to Spain (getting stuck there due to the Plague :)

Thanks for the info, looks a good idea. Can you share the link to the forum?

@@Mega6981 have you put somewhere info/pictures with this? What insulation material you are using? Is this from construction shop or something special?

I found that if you screw it in the ceiling (you will need to find a fitting pin to screw into), you can use it as means to hang your lamp. It is confusing why cars include though - you can't really screw it in car ceiling.

I have once seen an asian guy using it I believe somewhere on KZfaq. But when people listened in on that video I was being frowned upon :-)

I am considering bying it and we would travel to southern spain in winter - over 2500km. How was it?

@@ackwebde Super easy, contracted the evway Ionity contract (€69 per year, €0.59/kWh at Ionity), it was a breeze.

@@ppinheiro76 So you drove at least 10h every day - those are long hours. We thought about doing it in 4-5 days this summer, still not sure about it. The car must have been really comfortable for you to drive this long each day.

@@ackwebde Yes, I actually ended up doing it by myself, without the kids, due to COVID restrictions. Did almost 1000km on the second day, very relaxing. Besides the charging stops being great to rest and work a bit (around 30/35 minutes), the adaptive cruise control does help a lot, especially with thicker traffic.

Yes, Ive heard of people putting a golf cart 1lbs propane cup holder heater in their EVs.

the vans will always suffer at high speed because of their square rear ends. Basically all of your aerodynamic losses happen at the rear of the vehicle. Sloping the rear down even a bit like on the SUVs can really cut drag. But we could also see a lot of aero tricks deployed to fill in that hole in the air behind the van.

Preheating active.

But it says xx kWh/100km on the display.
