Nissan releases all-electric camper van model

[Sludge]

And while I’ve already anticipated scorn on this side of the Atlantic for a 40kWh battery and 124 miles of range, I actually could see this being quite popular in European markets. Where I grew up, for example, in South West England, I could take a van like this to most of the South West coast, and a large chunk of Wales, and a single fast charge would open up most of the South of the country.

Of course, this is “as the crow flies” and your mileage will vary, but holy cow.

Pitch to Nissan guerrilla marketing squad: Fly me there, give me a van and tickets, and I’ll take it to every football stadium on the island. No, no, don’t worry, we can use a fake name for me rather than “Sludge.” We’ll also need a van for Weisberger on the other island so he can take us to the Jameson distillery. Can it accommodate a little dog named Nemo?
