Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87kWh charging guide

Although the electric car technically predates the petrol engine with experimental prototypes in the 1830s, Nissan has been pioneering the modern electric car since the release of the Nissan Leaf in 2010. Despite getting a head start even on Tesla, the Nissan Ariya wasn’t released until 2020 and is only the second all-electric offering in the impressive Nissan fleet.

With more than a decade between the two models, it’s no wonder that the much anticipated Nissan Ariya quickly rose in popularity and is one of the most searched-for EVs on the market. If you’re still not sure if the Nissan Ariya is your next dream EV, check out the answers to some of your most-searched-for questions.

Where is the charge port on the Nissan Ariya

To charge your Nissan Ariya, simply attach your electric charger to the charging port near the front passenger-side door and connect it to any appropriate charging source.

Unlike many car manufacturers, Nissan supplies a charging cable giving you slow charging from any of your regular home outlets. It should be noted that this will take longer than plugging into a designated charging station as the output of power from your home sockets is considerably less.

How big is the Nissan Ariya?

The Nissan Ariya is a little larger than the Qashqai and is a pretty standard overall size for its category. Despite the ample passenger room in the Ariya, more so than the Kia EVQ, Nissan has chosen to prioritise storage for your gadgets rather than for your luggage.

The boot is a little smaller than many of its rivals, with a maximum storage capacity of 466 litres, one thing to bear in mind is that the four-wheel drive models drop to 408 litres giving you even less space That being said, Nissan has designed the Ariya to not have a transmission tunnel, unlike most other electric cars, meaning there is a flat floor giving passengers greater leg room.
