About the Nissan e-NV200

The Nissan e-NV200 is a fully electric light commercial van designed for zero-emission urban deliveries and passenger transport. It suits businesses and individuals in Australia looking to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining practicality for city-based work. In our experience, these vehicles are well-suited for local courier services, tradespeople, or anyone needing a quiet, efficient vehicle for daily commuting and errands.

As of November 2026, we have seen three e-NV200 models at Japanese auctions, all from the 2020 model year. The typical Japanese sale price ranges from ¥1,165,000 to ¥1,537,000, with a median of ¥1,320,000. When landed in Australia, these vehicles typically cost between $18,100 and $21,500, with a median estimate of $19,600. Most examples we see have around 21,000 kilometres on the clock.

For compliance, the e-NV200 has SEVS approvals for several chassis codes. The ME0 and VME0 variants are approved for all builds from May 2014 onwards. The Lifecare variant (20 series) is approved from May 2009 onwards, and the M20 variant is approved for builds between February 2009 and August 2021. We confirm the exact car's SEVS eligibility before you bid to ensure it meets Australian standards.
