"EV vans are coming."
They've been here for a while. Google Nissan e-NV200.
OIC. See here.

I think Car & Driver got it wrong.
The e-NV200 was upgraded to a 40kWh battery 3 years ago, and I'm pretty sure wasn't available with the small battery since; I see no reason they'd do it for the US market which if anything would prefer >40kWh batteries.
