One of the many perks of owning a Nissan EV model is the incredible convenience of starting each day with a full charge. Home charging is the easiest and most cost-effective way to keep your Nissan LEAF or Nissan ARIYA ready for your daily journeys around town and farther afield. At Hall Nissan Virginia Beach, we want to help you understand the simple options for charging your EV Nissan model right at home.
Level 1 Charging
Every new Nissan EV, whether you buy the Nissan LEAF or Nissan ARIYA, comes with a Level 1 portable charging cable. This allows you to plug your vehicle directly into any standard, 120-volt household outlet, just like you would a smartphone. This method doesn’t require any special installation and makes for a great solution for overnight charging, topping off the miles used during your daily commute.
Level 2 Charging
For the fastest home charging, Level 2 charging is recommended. These units use a 240-volt circuit, similar to an electric clothes dryer, and can fully charge your Nissan EV’s battery much faster than a Level 1 charger. When you use a Level 2 charger, you can get a full charge overnight, ensuring that you always have the vehicle’s maximum range every morning.
Level 2 chargers need to be professionally installed. The process is simple, and Nissan has partnered with companies like Wallbox® to offer tested home charging stations for purchase.
Smart Control with the NissanConnect® EV and Services App
The convenience of home charging is increased when you pair your charger with the NissanConnect® EV and Services app on your smartphone. With this app, you can remotely start and stop charging, schedule charges, and even pre-heat or pre-cool your vehicle’s cabin before you depart.
