Ice-creams vans, much as we love them, need to clean up their act. Running those clattery diesel smog-factories all day, to power their refrigerators? Near the lungs of our children? This is 2019. Surely we can do better. Nissan thinks so. It"s teamed up with ice-cream maker Mackie"s of Scotland to make this: an e-NV200 electric ice-cream van. It"s fully kitted out with a soft-serve machine, freezer drawer and drinks fridge, all powered by one of Nissan"s reclaimed Roam" battery cells living a second life after previous service in a Leaf electric car. They"re charged up from a regular 230-volt wall socket, or topped-up by solar panels on the roof.
