- I've driven 227km, back and forth between Delft and Zwaag on Thursday Aug 15th between 13:30-17:45, in WSW winds of 5-6bft and heavy rain, at a speed of approx. 100km/h wherever possible (110 on the speedometer in the e-nv200). I did not draft unless held up by traffic and used the cruise control as much as possible. The route included approx. 38km of non-highway roads and average consumption was approx. 23kWh/100km, meaning usable capacity is around 65kWh.
The van was loaded with ~390kg of cargo on half of the trip and ~725kg on the other half.
Tires were all at 2.9 bar, air conditioning was set to auto - 19C (almost no AC or heating used, mostly just ventilation).
According to this test, I expect average range to be approx. 350-380km and best-case range to go well over 400. This will be tested at a later point in time.
Great to see someone who's actually done the obvious thing and added a layer of extra batteries in the back of the van. Do you have technical details of what you've done I could follow somewhere? Anyway, very nice work. I'm wondering whether to do somethign similar or spend a fortune on an EQV to get the some effect, or wait to see what else comes out next.
points off the forklift driver for ramming the back of the van
I live in the states and I really, REALLY, want a ENV200 with 150 mile range, worst case range, with the bench seats in the back.
Seems still very decent for a van. I mean, considering the aerodynamics and the engine efficiency...
Hi! Thank you for the videos!
I live in Seattle.
Do you sell the instructions for what you've done for your Leaf (I want to do the same thing to mine)?
I would really like to know this as well
Hey, I live in Leiden, I drive a 7 seats e-NV200 from 2016 (24 kWh). I would be interested in increasing my range *even few tens of km would make a difference here :)
Let me know if I can purchase an upgrade. Thanks and good job.

Hi Vincenzo - are you interested in being a 'guinea pig'? We need people to test our extender batteries and finalize the software - if you're interested info@muxsan.com
Your progress is amazing; we are so many people with high hopes on your work!
By the way, by reading from muxsan.com, I see that the packs you are using have not a very high energy density (around 100 wh/kg, if I am right). Is there any reason for that? There seem to be cheap China-made packs that double that number.
jeaah...lets take real expensive stuff...those cells are secondlife ex Vw proofed ones
Don't know what it is with your videos and youtube but the last video's have no audio when I play it the first time :/
Have you considered the option to replace highly degraded leaf packs with third party (not nissan) packs: I am thinking of (presumably cheap?) packs manufactured in China, such as the ones shown here: lithiumbattery.en.made-in-china.com/product-group/NMFmVUErbphB/-100V-EV-Battery-catalog-1.html
They apparently provide flexible solutions, adaptable to the needed voltages. Would it be feasible to solve physical fitting issues, BMS interfacing, etc.?
Was is safe to put a heavy pallet full of batteries on top of your range extender pack?
The lid and battery case is reinforced; it's made to handle this kind of load. People who use an e-nv200 or any delivery van for that matter should be able to use it as normal, not worrying about the fact that there is a battery pack in the floor.
How can I contact you for a quotation for the same work on my e-NV200 ?
I think this is pretty good for the load and "real bad " condition not bad at all . We have to consider the max speed is 120 km/h may we spend some money for Air pressured shock absorber to lift up after load
I think that is a good idea...
I think air suspension would be an excellent mod for this van in general.
Hello my friend.
Me and my brother leave in Utah-US and we both have a Leaf. Mine is 2012 with 70k miles and only 7/12 bars which gives me about 30 miles only ... my brother’s one is the 2013 and still has 12 bars...
I am really interested in what you are doing and would love to talk more about it..
we're always listening at info at muxsan dot com
Not the point of the video, but interesting to know: Calculation here. You: 23kWh/100km = 230Wh/km. Nederlands: 370g CO2/kWh = 85.1g CO2/km.
Burning 1L Diesel emits 2.7kg CO2, so 2700/85.1= 31.7km or almost twice as clean as driving a heavy loaded diesel van still with extra batteries.
You could also drive slower than in your test run. Usually I average 18km/l in a Mercedes Sprinter with a full load, but I keep it at 90km/h and use the extra weight to roll longer before stops.
Did you try to get a "worst case" consumption estimate before the modification?
No, but this is something that has been done plenty of times before so I didn't bother. If we get another van, we should try this though.
@@PowerElectronicsBlog I was asking because not all cars are equal, especially after they have been driven around for quite a while. Perhaps the owner knows the max range of the van before the mod?
@@jeroeneeuwes Ah, yes, certainly - the usable range was between 90-130km roughly.
i drove the 40 kWh no cargo in winter...minus 5 degree...120...after 120 km i got hot, without any heater for comfort...just to keep the windscreen fogfree...can i make to paderborn to a chademo? route Lüdenscheid to Paderborn
Driven distance + GOM might not quite equal possible range...
Of course, it's an estimate, I deducted 10km to be safe :)
@@PowerElectronicsBlog usually the kids and I reckon we can do half of what the GOM says. To be on the safe side :-).
nissan ev,s r off my list ! look at the way they treat customers after warranty ! its all over utube !
How much this battry

I will bay new car by this mony
Maybe it needs a SOLAR FREAKING ROADWAY!
