We are currently looking for a new van.
The fleet consists of x 2 transporters & a little Fiat Fiorino
The Fiat is now 3 years old & its time to change.
Its mainly used by me to travel back & forward from house to business & it does the odd parts delivery locally 30 mile radius
Yesterday i noticed an NV200 with the blue nissan sign & have now taken a demo of that little van. I quite like it.
So ... ?
Does anyone know what the grants are ? battery longevity ? Pros & cons ?
I'll charge it here, 40 to 50 mile round trip. The little Fiat has covered 33k
Thanks for your input

I'd assumed it was all in line with cars (£4500) but just had a look and it seems its £8000 https://www.gov.uk/plug-in-car-van-grants/what-you...
On the second page it lists the NV200 also.
I'm tempted with a kangoo ZE since we got the zoe in december as i at most only do 2/3 miles per day, worst case 60 mile round trip.
On the battery, how do nissan work? The Zoe battery is leased (their is an option to buy also) so during that i'm guessing its renaults problem and if the battery does fail its replaced. Im sure even the older Zoe's (2013/14) haven't dropped much below 80%.

Don't worry about the longevity of the battery - it really is a non issue. Hardly any batteries have ever been replaced .
I would not go for a battery lease scheme, these are expensive and make the van hard to shift on.
Env-200 is pretty much a Leaf drive train which is bulet proof.
You have a few different charging options depending on trim level.
As standard it has a 3.3kw charger which takes 8 hours to charge from flat at home.
There are then 'rapid' models which can charge in 30minutes from a public Rapid charger.
You also have the option of upgrading the 3.3kw charger to 6.6kw which means in takes 4hours to charge at home.

I had an e-nv200 for 3 months as a company run about and I liked it.
I drove it pretty hard so range was about 60-70 miles each charge, back off a bit and it goes up a lot.
Also used the kangoo ev's, they're much the same.
If you're looking at new then the nissan has the battery included, the renaults often come with a leased battery, however there are a few 'i' vans which means the battery is owned.
Used ones often have very low mileage and are thousands cheaper.
Very friendly company car tax if that's your thing as well.
