Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about owning an EV.

To charge your EV, simply plug it in at your house with your EV’s charging cable or locate a public charging station. EVs use different types of charge ports for charging, but Nissan vehicles are equipped with either a CHAdeMO (Nissan LEAF) or a Combined Charging System (CCS) (Nissan ARIYA) charge port for charging.1,2,3

Fast Charging (also known as Quick Charging or DC Fast Charging) is the fastest level of charging for EVs equipped with the quick charge port. This Level 3 charger uses direct current (DC) instead of alternating current (AC).1,4 Please note, quick charge capability is only available on vehicles manufactured with the quick charge option, which includes the quick charge port. If your vehicle does not have such a port, quick charging cannot be used.

Can’t charge your EV at home? No problem. There’s an ever-growing network of Public Chargers located outside grocery stores, shopping centers, and more. Find Public Chargers using your in-vehicle information screens or the manufacturers' mobile apps. Fast charging stations are easy to find.1,5

Charging your EV at home requires nothing more than plugging your EV’s electric vehicle supply equipment (the charging cable) into a dedicated standard 3-pin, 120-volt outlet.2 “Level 1 Charging” requires no special equipment and provides a slower charging cycle compared to dedicated EV charging equipment.2,4 A professionally-installed Level 2 charger uses a dedicated 240v outlet and allows for a quicker charge.3 See Owner’s Manual for charging instructions and important safety precautions.

Certain residential complexes offer charging units in parking garages. Reach out to the property manager to figure out what your options are, or discover the available public chargers near you with Plugshare.1

MPGe stands for “miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent.” In other words, it is a measure of the average distance traveled per unit of energy consumed.

Many of the costs associated with driving an electric vehicle are the same as driving one with a gas engine. Registration and insurance are still required. However, you'll be swapping the price of fuel for the price of electricity and face less routine maintenance. All of this and the perk of zero tailpipe emissions of an EV.

Additional costs for your EV will depend on local state and energy rates. Contact Antelope Valley Nissan for more information.

It depends on the EV you choose, but the Nissan LEAF starting MSRP is $28,140 while the Nissan ARIYA starting MSRP is $47,190. If you’re thinking about making the switch to 100% electric driving, search our inventory or contact us today.6
