THERE ARE THREE MAIN WAYS TO CHARGE YOUR NISSAN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

CHARGING WITH A 7KW HOME CHARGER

Most electric vehicle owners find this the easiest way of charging at home. 85% of Nissan LEAF owners choose to charge their cars at home and we recommend installing a 7kW home charger from one of our partners, EON Drive or Pod Point.

CHARGING WHILST OUT AND ABOUT

There are now thousands of public charging points across the country that enable you to charge whilst away from home. In fact, there are now more charging points across the UK than there are petrol stations.

CHARGING WITH A THREE PIN PLUG

It is perfectly possible to charge your electric vehicle with a standard 3-pin socket charger cable. It is however, the least efficient and most time-consuming way. A dedicated home charger is the safest, quickest and most cost-efficient way to charge your electric vehicle from the comfort of your home.

HOW TO CHARGE AT HOME

Having a home charger installed has never been easier, and once installed, you only need to pay for the electricity you use whilst your vehicle is on charge.

The most convenient way to fully charge your electric vehicle is to plug it in overnight, so that it’s always ready to go as soon as you are. With a Nissan ARIYA for instance, you’d have a full charge in the morning with a range of up to 329 miles.¹

We have a number of home charger options available, all of which include standard installation from trained technicians. They also include up to five year’s warranty² and come with a charging app allowing you complete control when you charge your electric vehicle.

GETTING A HOME CHARGER INSTALLED

One of the easiest and quickest ways to charge your electric vehicle is from home. Nissan works with two of the best home charger installers – E.ON Drive and Pod Point. When you order your home charger from us, it will be safely installed by their trained technicians.

There are several options available when it comes to paying for your installation, from bundling the cost into your monthly electric vehicle payments, to buying it outright upfront.

CHARGING ON THE ROAD

85% of all EV charging is done at home or at places of work. However, when you do venture further out it’s always best to plan a route that has charging stations along the way, so charging is made part of your journey rather than an inconvenient diversion.

There are more than 35,000 public charging stations in the UK, including over 7,000 that offer rapid changing services – and those numbers grow every day. Nissan works with ZapMap, an app that displays all UK charging locations and other information you need at your fingertips.

You can use this to find your nearest charging point on the go and feel confident all the way to your destination.

OPTIMISE YOUR DRIVING

As with a petrol car, small changes in driving behaviour can make a big difference to the amount of mileage you get from your EV. Speed, acceleration, braking, driving conditions, number of passengers, luggage weight, tyre pressure and even the air temperature; they all play a role in the car’s battery range.

REMOTE MONITORING AND MORE

With the NissanConnect app, you needn’t be behind the wheel to control battery charging. You can monitor vehicle health, adjust safety and convenience features, set smart alerts and manage your battery all from your phone.

EV FAQ

All your questions answered

What type of chargers are available for Electric vehicles?

Electric Vehicles can be charged in three different ways.

An EVSE cable can be used to charge your car, utilising electricity from the mains. Nissan recommends that this is done from a 3-pin plug socket on an isolated circuit installed by a certified electrician.

You can charge your car using an AC Charger. These chargers can be installed into your home or garage, or can be found at workplaces or communal buildings. These chargers can deliver up to 22kW of power.

You can use a rapid charger, which uses DC current to charge your vehicle. These chargers are typically found at motorway service stations to give you the most amount of charge as quickly as possible. For today's Nissan vehicles you can receive up to a maximum of 130kW of power.

How do I find nearby EV chargers?

It's always good to know if there's a charger nearby for peace of mind. If your car is equipped with NissanConnect Services and the inbuilt Navigation system, you can search for and see details of different charging locations through your infotainment screen. For more information on NissanConnect Services, please visit the page here

You can also use services like your mapping software on your phone, or through other services like Zapmap to help you plot your journey.

How do I get an electric charging point at home?

Home Charging is a great way to top up your electric vehicle at the most convenient time. Speak to your local dealer for more details on the next steps.

How long is the warranty on the battery?

For the Nissan ARIYA and LEAF, you will have an 8 year or 100,000 miles battery state of health guarantee, protecting you if your battery capacity falls below 9 out of 12 bars within this duration. Find out more here

Do Electric vehicles have gears?

Electric vehicles do not require gears as this is all taken care of by an electric motor that powers the wheels. This means an overall smoother drive.

What is a kilowatt (kW)?

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of measurement used to measure the electric motor power output. Similar to traditional combustion engines that use horsepower to measure output, the higher the figure the more power you have at your disposal.

What is a kilowatt hour (kWh)?

A kilowatt hour (kWh) is how much energy is needed to run the vehicle for 1 hour at a given consumption rate.

If you have a more powerful motor you will consume energy faster.

Can you drive long distances in an electric vehicle?

Electric vehicles have become more advanced over the years and with our advancements comes an increase in range on a full charge. This coupled with an ever-growing network of public chargers means you can drive your vehicle on the majority of journeys. Visit the Nissan model pages for ARIYA, LEAF and TOWNSTAR to find out more.

What's the difference between AC and DC charging?

Alternating Current (AC) is what's used when you plug into a Home Charger, Domestic outlet or Public charger. This has to be converted by the vehicle to Direct Current (DC) to charge the battery. AC charging is slower than DC charging.

Direct Current (DC) is what's used when you plug into a Rapid Charger usually at a public charging station. DC chargers operate at higher power ratings than AC and support a faster charge. This allows power to go straight to the battery without the need to convert it, meaning a much faster charge.

The easiest way to understand the speed of a charger is to look for the power rating, the higher the number e.g. "100 kW" the faster the potential rate of charge. Charge speed may vary depending on battery condition, state of charge, temperature & additional factors.

Take The Next Steps
