Nissan
is
starting
up
an
electric
vehicle
charging
network
that
lets
Ariya
SUV
owners
connect
and
pay
at
participating
third-party
charging
stations
using
the
MyNissan
app.
The
new
“Nissan
Energy
Charge
Network”
consists
of
“90,000
fast
chargers”
in
the
US
from
partner
companies
Electrify
America,
Shell
Recharge,
ChargePoint,
and
EVgo.
Starting
in
November,
Ariya
owners
can
use
a
stored
payment
method
in
their
MyNissan
app
to
start
and
pay
for
a
charging
session
with
one
tap
at
a
station.
Nissan
also
says
it
“will
make
available”
Tesla
Supercharger-compatible
NACS
adapters
for
Ariya
owners
later
this
year.
Some
companies
like
Kia,
Ford,
and
Rivian
will
or
have
been
providing
the
adapter
for
free,
while
others
like
GM
will
sell
one
for
a
price.
Nissan
did
not
immediately
respond
to
our
email
asking
whether
the
adapter
would
be
free.
In
2025,
Nissan
plans
to
launch
EVs
with
native
NACS
ports
in
the
US
and
Canada.
The
new
Nissan
charging
network,
app
abilities,
and
NACS
adapter
news
notably
do
not
apply
to
the
Nissan
Leaf,
which
still
bears
the
burden
of
carrying
the
dying
CHAdeMO
DC
fast
charging
port
standard
and
archaic
connectivity
software
with
the
NissanConnect
EV
and
Services
app.
The
Leaf
itself
is
also
all
but
extinct,
but
it
still
stands
as
the
car
that
made
Nissan
a
pioneer
in
the
EV
market.
The
automaker
plans
to
launch
16
new
“electrified”
car
models
by
the
end
of
fiscal
year
2026.
