The Nissan Townstar EV is the small electrically powered van you may have left off your wish list if you're seeking a compact battery-powered LCV. Which could be a mistake because there's very little that any of its competitors can offer that this little Nissan can't match. And it'll do so with the added peace of mind of a 5 year warranty that's longer than virtually all its rivals. The brand needs to address issues with short wheelbase body style payload and base-spec charging speed though.
Overall though, it's certainly a big step forward from the old e-NV200 and if your business ran one of those, once you've got used to the fact that the bigger battery in this Townstar takes longer to charge, we think you'll like just about everything else about it. Apart perhaps from the price, which is a bit of a step up - but that's the case with most rivals too. A Townstar offers a thoughtful customer's alternative to any of them.
