One of the key things when it comes to cost is the savings you can make on the London Congestion Charge. The congestion charging scheme was first introduced in central London in 2003, aiming to reduce the amount of traffic in the capital. That means there is no London Congestion Charge for vans such as the Nissan e-NV200.
