Nissan has been testing its electric van concept in London with FedEx, making use of the Nissan LEAF drivetrain and a quick-charging system that juices up the versatile delivery vans to 80 percent capacity in just 30 minutes–perfect for a runaround delivery van.

Would you buy a Nissan electric cargo van for your business? How about just for the green hauling capacity?
