Nissan is set to revolutionize EV charging convenience for ARIYA drivers by integrating Tesla’s Supercharger network into the NISSAN ENERGY Charge Network (NECN) starting December 10. This integration adds 17,800 Tesla Superchargers to the already extensive network, which now includes over 100,000 public chargers in the U.S. and 25,000 in Canada.
Accessing Tesla Superchargers
Nissan ARIYA owners will require a North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapter kit to utilize Tesla Superchargers. Priced at $235, the kit can be ordered through Nissan dealerships or online via NissanUSA.com starting today. Additionally, beginning in 2025, Nissan plans to equip its EVs for the U.S. and Canadian markets with an integrated NACS port, eliminating the need for adapters.
A Comprehensive Charging Network
The expanded NECN includes access to multiple charging networks beyond Tesla, such as Electrify America, Shell Recharge, ChargePoint, and EVgo in the U.S., and ChargeHub, FLO, Circuit Electrique, BC Hydro, and more in Canada. This ensures Nissan EV drivers have unparalleled access to public chargers, supporting seamless journeys across North America.
Enhanced Charging via MyNISSAN App
Nissan ARIYA drivers can enjoy a simplified charging experience through the MyNISSAN app. Key features include:
- Real-time charging station availability.
- Charging session management with a simple tap.
- Integrated payment storage for hassle-free transactions.
The app consolidates EV management and charging access into a single platform, making it easier for drivers to locate and use compatible chargers. While the functionality is not currently available for Nissan LEAF owners, they can still find charging locations using the NissanConnect EV and Services app.
This development solidifies Nissan’s commitment to enhancing EV ownership with an expansive charging network and user-friendly digital tools, ensuring Nissan EV drivers stay powered and ready for the road.
