Nissan Charging - How it Works & What to Know

Nissan EV Charging - How it Works & What to Know

Nissan is proud to offer some of the market's most popular mainstream EVs, including the Nissan LEAF sedan and the Nissan Ariya. However, even with all-electric powertrains offering longer ranges and better outputs, many drivers are still apprehensive about taking the dive into all-electric.

The big "why" that's holding them back? Charging. Many drivers still have apprehension about the prospect of charging an all-electric model. The team at Suburban Nissan of Farmington Hills understands that, and we would love to clear things up. We're here to provide a comprehensive overview of Nissan EV charging so that you can hit the road in your new EV with confidence.

Charging Your Nissan EV at Home

Worried that you need special equipment to charge your EV? Not with a Nissan! One of the most convenient aspects of our new Nissan EVs is the ability to charge at home. New models like the Nissan LEAF come equipped with Level 1 charging gear. This includes a standard 120-volt plug that can be used with standard outlets in your garage. This method is ideal for overnight charging, especially if you're only driving a few miles each day.

Drivers who need to more range more regularly will enjoy the benefits of Level 2 charging. This more specialized charging equipment can be used with a dedicated 240-volt outlet in your garage to add up to 25 miles of range to your battery for every hour it's plugged in.

Public Charging Infrastructure

What if you realize you're running low on energy while you're out and about in public? EV charging infrastructure is more robust than ever, and easy to find as well, thanks to the Nissan ENERGY Charge Network. Accessible via the MyNissan app, this network includes over 100,000 public charging stations across the United States, including Tesla Superchargers. These Level 3 DC fast chargers can replenish your Nissan EV's battery up to 80 percent in forty minutes or less, depending on your model and battery size.

Nissan EVs Come Equipped for all Weather Conditions

Electric vehicles can be affected by changing weather conditions. To help mitigate potential issues from rising and falling temperatures, Nissan EVs come equipped with tools to help you monitor and mitigate your battery's condition in different climates. The Nissan LEAF comes with a battery temperature gauge, while the Nissan Ariya is equipped with a liquid-cooling system. These features, combined with the ability to precondition your battery using the MyNissan app, are designed to support you and your driving needs.

Get Where You Need to go With Built-in Navigation

New models like the Nissan LEAF and the Nissan Ariya also offer tools to help you make the most of your EV mileage. These include built-in Google Maps apps that can help you find the most direct path from A to B, whatever your destination looks like. Our sales team can help you find a new Nissan model that offers access to these valuable tools and features.
