EV Charging Levels
Three ways to recharge
You can charge an EV using three standard charging levels. Each one has a different amount of power – and its own distinct benefits. Discover them all and find out how they fit your life.
Level 1: Plug right in
Power up your EV without installing extra equipment. Level 1 chargers plug into a common household outlet – always a good option to have. [[1103]]
Level 2: Charge at home and away
Get a good night’s sleep. Level 2 chargers have twice as much power, and work best if you can plug in overnight. These are purchased separately for home installation, and they’re often found in public. [[1127]]
Level 3: Grab a coffee and top up
The fastest and most powerful out there. Level 3 chargers work with most EVs and can reach up to 80% power in 30 minutes to an hour. Plug in and have a quick coffee before getting back on the road. [[1127]]
Electric Car Home Charging Stations
Home charging to-dos
When charging a Nissan EV at home, there are a few simple steps to take. Here’s what you need to do.
- Park and make sure the car is turned off.
- Open the charge port lid and cap.
- Plug the charge connector into the charge port. When done correctly, you should hear a beep.
- When the battery is full, your Nissan EV will stop charging on its own. To end charging at any point, simply unplug the charge connector.
Fact Check
Are EV batteries built to last?
Yes, electric car batteries are engineered to have long lives. If you happen to drive a Nissan EV, our warranty covers your battery for 8 years or 160,000 km – whichever comes first. [[1118]]
Fact Check
Is it hard to install a charger at home?
Not at all. 80% of charging happens at home, which means it’s simple to get a Level 2 charger installed by a certified electrician. In a pinch, you can also plug a Nissan EV into a standard household outlet. [[1103]]
Fact Check
Are EVs more likely to overheat?
No, that’s just another myth. EV powertrains have fewer moving parts than gas-powered engines. They’re extremely reliable, and there have been no serious incidents involving EV batteries.
