A Nissan e-NV200 is what you want ... I'm in Spain, there's a few about. They're basic work vans, good amount of space in them, easily fixable, etc.

The Nissan e-NV200 was expected to be available by 2017 for the NYC Taxi of Tomorrow fleet.[93] However, structural changes would be required to bring the e-NV200 into compliance with US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards,[94] and the van never was released to the US market.

Looks like GM rebadged it was a Chevy Express in 2014 and discontinued it in 2017.

Makes sense, European crash testing looks for different things and the e-NV200 was only ever passed as a commercial vehicle here so you couldn't use one as a taxi.

They are well handy, it's a shame.

Also make superb camper vans if you aren’t too mad about the 150 mile range!

That seems great for the "we go from fancy campground to fancy campground and stay for half a week" crowd, but most camper van owners are not in that group, right?
