Nissan's Mobile Workshop Van for Woodworking Pros, with Solar Charging for Power Tools
It stores both tools and energy
Nissan's creatives have been busy. In addition to their crazy snowgoing Altima from Canada, they've turned an NV300 into a workshop on wheels.

With the ROAM system in place, power tools can be readily used and recharged, even in the middle of nowhere.

Extremely fun idea, but any "woodworking pro" that would go so far as to buy a fully outfitted van would be, by nature, incredibly picky about layout and space usage. The layout looks great in photos, but In practice pro carpenter vans and trailers are WAY more utilitarian...and I think more interesting.
Growing trend, High demand from clients for mobile service.
Good show Nissan...
