Based on 100% electric commercial vehicles the "e-NV200", to anyone simple, fun and comfortable, and it produced a "ultimate smart BBQ car" that eco-friendly BBQ can be realized ... ] Japanese automakers have been shoving all sorts of devices into vehicles, especially kei cars, for years now. We've seen many a wacky concept come out of design studios, and a surprising number of them have actually made it into production. Well, Nissan may have just taken it to a whole 'nother level with their new "Ultimate Smart BBQ Vehicle." Honestly, when Matt first sent me the link to this (he pinged me via our meeting software, and it was in the middle of the night for me... I had forgotten to put my phone on silent and I was really, really groggy), I thought for sure this was some kind of joke. Japanese advertisements are often over the top in ways American advertisements aren't (different types of "over the top," I suppose) but this was something else again. It reminded me not so much of an actual Japanese advertisement as much as some kind of fake commercial made by CollegeHumor or an SNL digital short. Oh, no, my friends. This is apparently very, very real. Well, that, or Nissan is punking us... but the idea of pranks (like those we might be used to on April 1st from American companies) aren't really a thing in Japan. Not from major Japanese corporations. No, having reviewed the Japanese... I'm pretty sure this is actually a thing. What's more... It's not a concept. But it's also not a full production vehicle; this insane BBQ vehicle is something I have never heard of before from a major manufacturer. It's crowd funded. Various levels of support will get you various stuff, all the way up to the car itself... eventually. So just what is in this thing exactly? Well, first you've got the BBQ grill. It's electric, of course (this being a fully electric vehicle), but the BBQ itself is part of a full kitchen with counter top, sink, disposal unit, and storage areas... Okay, so far, so normal. Then there's the "Mosquito Barrier," which let me tell you, in Japan, is pretty damn useful: And of course, you will no doubt be using this in summer, so, how about some mist spray, also pretty useful. But then shit gets weird. Because the other two items this insane, and I do mean insane, BBQ car has are a karaoke machine and an entire drone for the purposes of taking BBQ fun times selfies. Want to see this ultimate tailgating EV come to a driveway near you? Well, if you're here in Japan, be prepared to front about [¥500,000 (US$4200)] in crowd funding for the chance. America? SORRY, YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS (poor Torchy).

The whimsical, SEMA-appropriate specialty vehicle was built by Nissan's Green Funding Lab in Japan. The all-purpose e-NV200 cargo van does not have or need a grille thanks to its electric powertrain, but Nissan engineers added a grill and rigged it to be juiced by 1,500 watts of on-board electric power. It's not just a mobile cow cooker, though. A slew of other features promise to separate your al fresco dining experience from the average campfire roadkill roast. For instance, a roof-mounted "Mosquito Barrier" projects a radius of ultrasonic waves and bug-repelling aromas, a "Refreshing Mist Shower" and folding shade canopy offer respite from the sun, and a millennial-friendly selfie drone accomplishes, well, we're not sure what. But it's there, and spelled three different ways in the accompanying video. Other high-tech features include a side window that's really a large TV linked your smartphone's video feed and built-in machine for karaoke, which we hear is all the rage in Japan. Once the fun's over, your freeloading friends can help clean up by using the included garbage disposal and on-board minibar sink. Sadly, this appears to be a one-off creation.
