% In 2014, at the Silicon Valley NDEW EVent, nissan had an e-nv200 EV on display http://brucedp14.altervista.org/eaasvr14/ (scroll a down 1/3 of the page) http://brucedp14.altervista.org/eaasvr14/eaasvr14-20140920-brucedp-008-l.jpg
The nissan rep there, said nissan is not interested in selling the e-nv200 in N. America. He didn't know their e-nv200 sells well in Europe and is for sale in Asia. Nor did he know that e-nv200 vans were in use as taxis in NYC (see below). I liked the e-nv200, but it just barely fit my needs (to be able carry an e-mobility cart in the rear of a cargo trim). If nissan sold & supported the larger e-nv300 https://www.google.com/search?q=nissan+nv300+electric that would a better fit for my needs. But where nissan is missing a business opportunity, later other EV companies will step in and sell me either an e-van or e-truck that will fit my needs. Below are links to stories showing Nisan is ok with good pr, but not with follow-through to sell their e-van in N.America. Nissan sells where the market is profitable. nissan must not think the u.s. e-van market is worth their effort/trouble. % https://www.adventure-journal.com/2018/07/theres-another-electric-camper-van-no-not-coming-united-states/ Here’s Another Electric Camper Van That’s Not Coming to the United States Jul 31, 2018 - First VW teased, and now Nissan, which has announced two new ...
