Together with a number of partners, Nissan is not only working on the further development of the vehicles, but also intensively on everything that is needed to help this technology achieve a breakthrough.

Specialists from various sectors presented solutions at a workshop. For example, a representative of The Mobility House presented answers to questions about charging an electric car. This referred to both mobile and home charging stations. The main aim is to be able to present a good network of charging stations as soon as possible. This also applies to Switzerland, of course. Other important topics are charging stations of the future, electricity storage at home or electric cars that are energy providers themselves.

One of the next steps is the world premiere of the e-NV300 light van at the IAA Commercial Vehicles (September 22-29) in Hanover. AutoSprintCH will report.
