Nissan releases all-electric camper van model

Is there built-in solar sufficient to recharge it if you park in the sun for a week or two? That’d be perfect.

It takes a much larger surface than the roof of a van to recharge an electric vehicle battery with sunlight. A back of the envelope calculation indicates about 10 times the roof surface if you want to recharge it in a day.

I’m aware. Hence:

Thinking of nomadic camping, not daily driving.

Then, build a foldable solar panel system and pack it with you.

I’m looking for an electric vehicle to pull my 40 ton yacht. I hope they make one soon.

This. I’ve known many folks over the years who commuted Tucson to Phoenix for job or school opportunities. Around 120 miles and just under two hours. Definitely a doable commute in a pinch.

There’s a reason Nissan is marketing this to Europe.

On the other hand, 124-mile range could get me to and from several nearby national forest campgrounds…
