Nissan launches new charging offer in the USA
The automaker launched the ‘Nissan Energy Charge Network’, which will allow owners of the Ariya SUV and future Nissan EVs to use their MyNISSAN app to find charging stations, see real-time charger availability and pay for charging. Nissan’s new charge network is set up to include the charging stations from Electrify America, Shell Recharge, ChargePoint and EVgo. This covers more than 90,000 fast charging stations across the U.S. Nissan has also already stated that it has plans to incorporate additional networks in the future.
Additionally, later this year Nissan will release an NACS adapter for the Ariya. This adapter will allow Ariya drivers to charge at compatible Tesla Supercharger locations in North America.
Nissan writes that the charging accommodations are a core part of its strategy, “with ‘The Arc’ mid-term business plan intending for 16 new electrified models to be launched globally by the end of fiscal year 2026.” Nissan also recently announced plans to release a new bidirectional charger by 2026. Interestingly enough, Nissan also announced that it was postponing its EV plans in May, postponing the start of production for two electric sedans at its Canton plant in the US state of Mississippi by a few months. However, at the same time, a new model was announced, so it seems Nissan is waiting for the market to mature.
