Townstar EV Passenger L2

The Nissan Townstar EV Passenger L2 is a 7-seat van-based people carrier with front-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €41,820 in Germany and €42,790 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 13.3 seconds, slower than 98% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 137 miles (220 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 36th of 38 van-based people carriers.

It uses around 3.0 mi/kWh (205 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 45 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 50 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 135 miles (218 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand in Germany, a 2024 example is estimated at €19,900–€22,400 and a 2025 one at €23,800–€27,200, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 131 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
