Smart Camping from Nissan and OPUS

Nissan Energy and OPUS Campers have collaborated on a smart camping concept that uses second-life Nissan LEAF batteries to deliver up to a week’s worth of remote power for ‘off-grid’ adventures.

The vehicle uses the recently unveiled Nissan Energy ROAM, a portable, weatherproof power pack. With a storage capacity of 700Wh and a power output of 1kW, the ROAM’s lithium-ion cells are recovered from first-generation Nissan EVs, providing a second-life for the batteries.

The Nissan Energy ROAM provides enough energy for around seven days of camping, with assistance from a solar panel accessory. ROAM can be removed from its housing within the camper and recharged away from the campsite via a standard 230v domestic socket, or by plugging into a solar panel accessory

The Nissan x OPUS concept will make its public debut on the OPUS stand at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show at The NEC, Birmingham, UK from 19-24 February 2019.

OPUS has a manufacturing base in the UK, with distribution across Europe, North America and Australia/New Zealand. Nissan Energy ROAM will launch in European markets later this year.
