The Nissan e-NV200 gets more range for 2018

Thanks to a new 40 kWh lithium-ion battery, the revised Nissan e-NV200 pure-electric van should appeal to a significantly larger number of urban operators.

That's because range is much better. According to the official NEDC measure, 174 miles (280 kilometres) can now be driven on a single charge. By comparison, the previous version could achieve 106 miles (170 kilometres) at best.

Acceleration isn't too bad either. An AC synchronous electric motor delivers 107 bhp (80 kW / 109 PS) with 254 Nm (187 lb/ft) of peak torque, which allows the e-NV200 to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in around 14 seconds. Top speed is less relevant, but for the record it's just 76 mph (123 km/h).

A full recharge takes a protracted 21.5 hours via a standard domestic supply, but the time required reduces to 7.5 hours when using a dedicated 32 amp wallbox. Alternatively, 80% replenishment is possible in just 40 minutes if plugged into a quick-charge facility.

As the higher-capacity battery pack is no larger than before, cargo volume remains at 4.2 m³. Maximum payload meanwhile is 694 kg (1,530 lbs).

Nissan dealers will begin accepting orders for the improved e-NV200 before the end of this year. Prices have yet to be announced.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
