Nissan EV drivers, or extra particularly Ariya drivers, will be capable to use Tesla’s Supercharger community beginning subsequent week.
It’s for “realsies” this time.
Final month, Tesla pulled the set off early and introduced that Nissan EV drivers now had entry to the Supercharger.
It turned out to not be correct, as per Nissan, however we had been advised that it was coming quickly.
Quickly is subsequent week.
Nissan introduced immediately:
Nissan ARIYA drivers will acquire entry to 17,800 Tesla Superchargers inside the NISSAN ENERGY Cost Community (NECN)1 starting on December 10. The enlargement brings the whole NECN to greater than 100,000 public chargers within the US and 25,000 in Canada.
Solely Ariya drivers could have entry since Leaf automobiles are outfitted with the CHAdeMO connector, and the Supercharger’s opening to non-Tesla EVs works with CCS ports.
Nissan says that Ariya drivers can now order a CCS to NACS adapter for $235. You will get it by means of your native Nissan supplier or Nissan’s US web site.
The Ariya is supplied with a entrance passenger-side cost port, which ought to make it simpler to park on the Supercharger station with out having to dam one other stall.
It’s one thing that’s changing into an issue as Tesla opens up the community to non-Tesla EVs, and the corporate has been addressing it these days with a number of updates.
Nissan additionally added that beginning subsequent yr, its electrical automobiles in North America will include a NACS connector as commonplace.
Electrek’s Take
This could make the Ariya extra helpful for homeowners throughout North America. Leaf homeowners are left behind, but it surely’s not too stunning because it’s an older gen car and people should not supported without end.
Nissan took its candy time between the Leaf and Ariya, leading to giving up its EV management.
The corporate just isn’t doing nice proper now with its inventory down ~%40 this yr, however I do know that they’re engaged on a bunch of recent electrical automobiles, and hopefully, we are going to get to see a number of of them within the North American markets.
