But it wasn&#8217;t very environmentally friendly. These days there are hybrid motorhomes, but we can do better than that, can&#8217;t we? There might well be change on the way. In New Zealand, they&#8217;re currently testing an electric motorhome!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We recently covered the news that Dethleffs had introduced a test model of an electric motorhome, which they called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurocampings.co.uk\/blog\/listing\/dethleffs-e-home-something-new-sun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e.Home<\/a>. But it can&#8217;t be compared to the motorhome currently being tested by New Zealand-based motorhome rental company Jucy. The Nissan e-NV200 is already at such an advanced stage of development that Jucy thinks that they will have several e-motorhomes available for rental within 18 months.<\/p>\n<h2>Features of the Nissan e-NV200<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few highlights of this first electric motorhome:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>24kW battery and can cover 100 kilometres on a single charge<\/li>\n<li>Battery charged in 20 minutes<\/li>\n<li>It has a roof tent for two people to spend the night<\/li>\n<li>Includes a small kitchen with storage space<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I can hear you thinking: &#8220;I can only drive a hundred kilometres before I have to recharge my battery? That&#8217;s not very far at all.&#8221; You&#8217;re right, and Nissan and Jucy think so too. Nissan has confirmed that they will be introducing a 40kW battery later this year. Then the motorhome will be able to cover 200 kilometres on a single charge.<\/p>\n<h2>Road trips the environmentally friendly way<\/h2>\n<p>To ensure that this motorhome is comfortable enough for you to drive around in it for a few weeks, it&#8217;s important to make sure that the motorhome is fully tested. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jucy.co.nz\/useful-stuff\/jucy-ev\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jucy<\/a> was able to find two French ladies willing to try the road trip of the future.
