Three ways to charge your EV
Charging whilst out and about
There are now thousands of public charging points across the country that enable you to charge whilst away from home. In fact, there are now more charging points across the UK than there are petrol stations.
Charging with a 7kw home charger
Most electric vehicle owners find this the easiest way of charging at home. Over 80% of electric vehicle owners choose to charge their cars at home and we recommend installing a 7kW home charger from our partner, Pod Point.
Charging with a three pin plug
It is perfectly possible to charge your electric vehicle with a standard 3-pin socket charger cable. It is however, the least efficient and most time-consuming way. A dedicated home charger is the safest and quickest way to charge your electric vehicle from the comfort of your home.
How charging works
Getting a Home Charger installed
One of the easiest and quickest ways to charge your electric vehicle is from home. Nissan works with one of the best home charger installers Pod Point. When you order your home charger from us, it will be safely installed by their trained technicians.
There are several options available when it comes to paying for your installation, from bundling the cost into your monthly electric vehicle payments, to buying it outright upfront.
Charging on the road
85% of all EV charging is done at home or at places of work. However, when you do venture further out it’s always best to plan a route that has charging stations along the way, so charging is made part of your journey rather than an inconvenient diversion.
There are more than 75,000 public charging stations in the UK, including over 20,000 that offer rapid changing services – and those numbers grow every day. Nissan offers Nissan Charge app that displays all UK charging locations and other information you need at your fingertips.
You can use this to find your nearest charging point on the go and feel confident all the way to your destination.
