The Nissan e-NV200 was expected to be available by 2017 for the NYC Taxi of Tomorrow fleet.[93] However, structural changes would be required to bring the e-NV200 into compliance with US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards,[94] and the van never was released to the US market.
Makes sense, European crash testing looks for different things and the e-NV200 was only ever passed as a commercial vehicle here so you couldn’t use one as a taxi.
That seems great for the “we go from fancy campground to fancy campground and stay for half a week” crowd, but most camper van owners are not in that group, right?
A Nissan e-NV200 is what you want … I’m in Spain, there’s a few about. They’re basic work vans, good amount of space in them, easily fixable, etc.

They are well handy, it’s a shame.
Looks like GM rebadged it was a Chevy Express in 2014 and discontinued it in 2017.
Also make superb camper vans if you aren’t too mad about the 150 mile range!
