Nissan to Show Electric Camper Interstar-e Relax at Düsseldorf Show

Nissan and German converter Eifelland have developed the Interstar-e Relax, an electric camper based on the Interstar-e van. It features an 87 kWh battery, a WLTP range of 410 km, and a 141 hp electric motor. Thanks to V2L capability, the standard Truma Eezy parking heater can run directly from the high-voltage battery, eliminating the need for external power or a diesel heater. The interior includes four seats, a kitchen with a 90-liter fridge, induction hob and sink, a fixed bed measuring 1.9 by 1.6 meters, and 2.6 cubic meters of storage. The vehicle will be publicly shown at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf from August 28 to September 6. The price is set at $102,000.
