As battery technology advances, range increases, and charging becomes more convenient, more drivers than ever are taking advantage of the unique benefits that come with owning and driving a Nissan electric vehicle (EV). As the manufacturer of the world's first mass-market EV, Nissan is at the forefront of the electric-driving revolution. As your local Nissan dealer, Woodfield Nissan is your partner on your EV journey - from sales and service to the many benefits and perks that come with making the switch to 100% electric driving.
6 Main Benefits Of Nissan EV Ownership
Compared to gas-powered vehicles, Nissan EVs come with many real-world benefits. Here are six:
Nissan EVs Are Energy Efficient
Electric motors are more efficient than internal combustion engines and traditional drivetrains at converting stored energy into movement. And many EVs also provide unique energy-efficient features like regenerative braking that convert the kinetic energy lost while decelerating into stored energy within the vehicle's battery.
Nissan EVs Require Less Standard Maintenance
Compared to internal combustion engines, all-electric motors feature fewer moving parts -which can mean less maintenance and lower routine maintenance costs. And since they don't require starters, fuel pumps, and exhaust systems, drivers don't have to worry about these components wearing out over time. Additionally, EV owners avoid the costs that come with oil changes, filter changes, and other combustion-engine related maintenance.
Nissan EVs Operate More Quietly
Internal combustion engines can be loud and require an entire exhaust system to reduce the noise they produce. All-electric motors on the other hand produce very little sound while operating. This allows an EV driver to enjoy a quiet ride while reducing noise pollution.
Nissan EVs Are Eligible For Potential Tax Credits
Owning an EV comes with many financial perks, but one of the biggest is the ability to qualify for potential tax credits, rebates, and discounts. Depending on where you live and your personal tax situation, you could be eligible for potential tax credits and incentives from the federal government, your state, and even your utility company. Please consult with your tax advisor about potential state and/or federal tax credit eligibility.1
Nissan EVs May Be Allowed In HOV Lanes And Designated Parking Spots
Depending on which city you live in, driving an EV could qualify you for an all-access pass to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes regardless of your vehicle size or the number of passengers.2
In some locations, EVs can also provide you access to designated parking options. Where available, these green-painted or "EV-charging only" parking spots can be found in convenient locations and are reserved exclusively for EVs. Parking fees have even been waived in certain areas for hybrid or all-electric vehicles.3
Complimentary EV Charging
Qualifying customers can get one year of unlimited EVgo charging with the purchase or lease of a new Nissan ARIYA. TIMELY ENROLLMENT AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS APPLY.4 Qualifying new Nissan LEAF buyers and lessees are eligible for $100 charging credits to use at EVgo or EVgo's roaming partner chargers. Restrictions apply.4

What are some of the major benefits of a Nissan EV?
- Reduction in fuel expenses: Based on a breakdown comparison by CNet, it will cost less to charge your vehicle over time than it will to fill your tank. The average annual expense per month is about $73 for EV charging vs. $188 for gas
- Convenient Charging: A Level 2 home charger can replenish your battery power overnight vs stopping for gas on your way to work the next day
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Since you won't have a combustion engine, you will eliminate many of the monthly and annual services associated with a gas-powered vehicle
How long does it take to charge a Nissan EV?
It depends on what level your charging connection is. For Level 1 charging connections, which operate at 120 volts, it will take about 20 to 35 hours for a full charge. For Level 2 charging connections, which operate at 240 volts, it can take between 7.5 and 11 hours to fully charge (depending on your car battery's size). Level 3 charging stations can take your battery to an 80 percent charge in about 30 to 45 minutes.
Why should my EV remain charged at 80 percent?
Charging your battery to 80 percent will help prevent long-term battery degradation and preserve your maximum driving range. Eighty percent causes less stress on the Lithium-ion cells inside your battery. When these cells reach 100 percent, wear accelerates. Occasionally, charging your vehicle to 100 percent won't hurt. Still, it's a good rule of thumb to stop at 80 percent in most cases.
How much range can I get with a Nissan EV?
It all depends on which model you select. For example, the Nissan LEAF can provide up to 303 miles of range while the Nissan ARIYA can deliver up to 304 miles. Range also depends on what type of battery your vehicle has, your driving speed, and weather-each can have a major impact on how far you can travel in Grandville with your EV.
Are Nissan EVs compatible with Level 3 Charging stations?
Yes, the newer renditions of the Nissan LEAF and the Nissan ARIYA are both compatible with Level 3 charging stations.
What does the Nissan EV warranty include?
The Nissan EV warranty includes a high-voltage battery and EV system warranty that is good for 8 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first). This warranty protects against defects in materials for the lithium-ion battery, motor, inverter, and high-voltage cables. This warranty is included with the basic limited warranty that covers 3 years or 36,000 miles.
What kind of maintenance will Nissan EVs require?
Your EV will require routine maintenance like tire rotations, cabin air filter replacements, brake fluid inspection and replacement, reduction gear oil checks, and multi-point inspections to check steering, suspension, and other key components of your vehicle. However, you will not need oil changes, spark plug replacements, drive belt service, or fuel pump repairs with your new Nissan EV near Allendale.
