  • 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.

    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.

    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?

    • @PowerElectronicsBlog
      @PowerElectronicsBlog  Před 4 lety +6

      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.

    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

    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..

    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?

    • @PowerElectronicsBlog
      @PowerElectronicsBlog  Před 4 lety

      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.
