For high-mileage drivers, the long-range battery with NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) technology delivers the highest energy density for a maximum range of 280 miles WLTP. This battery will be available from launch.
The urban range battery uses LFP (lithium iron phosphate) technology with no rare metals such as cobalt or nickel, offering a range of up to 217 miles WLTP. This battery will be available at a later date.
The batteries also offer the new 800-volt fast charging technology. With a DC fast charging point, the battery charges from 15% to 80% in around 20 minutes, recovering 161 miles in range.
With output of 1500kW and torque of 345Nm, it helps give the new van a towing capacity of two tonnes and a payload of 1.25 tonnes (pending homologation).
New van is built on a new all-electric ‘skateboard’ platform, designed to optimise load capacity in relation to footprint, with a minimal front overhang and rear-mounted powertrain. This also makes for a turning circle as small as on Clio (10.3 metres).
