Electric van could move a whole house

Today there are the most ridiculous world records. For example, Australian Les Stewart (Les Stewart) could go down in history as the man who printed all the numbers from 1 to 1,000,000. It took him 16 years. Now to get into the Guinness Book of world records decided the company Nissan. She said that van Nissan e-NV200 was able to withstand record for electric vehicles wear.

In the latest video from Nissan shows the process of towing the smart home Australian actress Margot Robbie. The role of the tractor supports e-NV200, whose updated version was submitted a week ago. The electric car has received a fresh battery with a capacity of 40 kWh, which increased the reserve by 60 %, up to 280 kilometers (though considered too optimistic rating of the New European Driving Cycle, so the real figures will probably be modest).

Electric Nissan e-NV200 has not been changed: the van is still equipped with a 109-horsepower engine. According to the official data, this car can pull a maximum of 430 kg. of Course, the house of Mrs. Robbie weighs a lot more, it is also necessary to take into account the trailer weight. However, the electric car is still not entered the Guinness Book of records, as this attempt has been officially registered. In other words, it could be just a trick.

If we consider only formal characteristics, then a record among electric cars should be a crossover Tesla Model X. With it you can use trailers weighing up to 2 260 kg.
