Charging Your Nissan EV
When it comes to owning an electric vehicle (EV), charging convenience becomes a significant aspect of daily life. Nissan electric vehicles have multiple options for charging, offering flexibility to suit different lifestyles and needs. Let's explore the three primary ways to charge your Nissan EV and how these options facilitate seamless charging experiences.
Charging Options for Nissan EVs
7kW Home Charger
85% of Nissan LEAF owners opt for home charging. The convenience of a 7kW home charger from partners like EON Drive or Pod Point simplifies the charging routine. These home chargers offer safety, efficiency, and quick charging, making them the preferred choice for many EV owners.
Public Charging Points
Charging while out and about has become more accessible with the growth of public charging points across the UK. With more charging stations than petrol stations, the convenience of charging on the go is increasingly viable for EV drivers.
Three-Pin Plug Charging
While feasible, charging your EV using a standard 3-pin socket charger is the least efficient and time-consuming method. It's a fallback option rather than a primary choice due to its inefficiency compared to dedicated home chargers.
Home Charging: Streamlined and Efficient
Installing a home charger has never been simpler. The process involves minimal hassle, and once set up, you pay only for the electricity consumed during charging. Overnight charging ensures your vehicle is fully charged and ready for your day ahead, with the Nissan ARIYA boasting an impressive range of up to 329 miles on a full charge.
Nissan offers various home charger options, all including standard installation by trained technicians, warranties of up to five years, and a charging app for complete control over your charging schedule.
Installing a Home Charger: Hassle-Free Process
Working with reputable home charger installers like E.ON Drive and Pod Point, Nissan ensures a smooth and safe installation process. Payment options are flexible, from incorporating installation costs into your monthly EV payments to upfront purchases.
Charging While On the Move
Though 85% of charging occurs at home or workplaces, planning for road trips involves strategising around available charging stations. With over 35,000 public charging stations in the UK, including 7,000 offering rapid charging, finding charging points is increasingly convenient. The partnership between Nissan and ZapMap streamlines this process, providing access to essential charging information on the go.
Optimising Driving for Efficiency
Similar to petrol cars, driving behaviours significantly impact EV mileage. Factors like speed, acceleration, braking, driving conditions, passenger count, luggage weight, tyre pressure, and temperature affect battery range. Adopting efficient driving practices can maximise your EV's range.
Remote Monitoring and Simplified Payments
Nissan's innovative NissanConnect app allows remote management of battery charging, vehicle health monitoring, safety feature adjustments, and smart alerts—all from your smartphone. Additionally, Nissan, in collaboration with E.ON Drive and Pod Point, offers a bundled payment option for electric vehicles, home chargers, and standard installation, simplifying financial logistics for prospective EV owners.
