The Zero-Emissions Nissan Electric Vehicles

Many new Nissan vehicles have fuel-efficient powertrains and eco-friendly design features, and the most fuel-efficient Nissan vehicles are fully electric. The Nissan Leaf set the standard for EVs as one of the first to hit the streets in the United States, and the 2023 Nissan ARIYA brings fresh styling and futuristic features to the EV market.

As more electric vehicle charging stations pop up in neighborhoods and along highways, owning an electric vehicle is more exciting and enjoyable than ever before. The team at Tri-State Nissan near College Park can show you how an EV fits into your lifestyle.

Benefits of Driving Electric

The Nissan EV lineup comes with several benefits. Firstly, electric vehicles are energy efficient, especially as more communities power their chargers with renewable energy from wind and solar power. Drivers with electric vehicles appreciate the lowered maintenance costs, as EVs never need oil changes, and they don’t have oil filters, transmissions, fuel pumps, and exhaust systems. With fewer moving parts, your EV will spend more time on the road and less time on the lift.

Electric vehicles are incredibly quiet because they don’t have internal combustion engines. After driving an EV, drivers quickly learn to appreciate the lack of engine noise, which only makes music and conversations easier to hear.

The federal government, local governments, and utility companies offer incentives for EV drivers. Some communities allow EV drivers to use HOV lanes on busy highways, and some automakers give owners free charging for a limited time.

Easy Charging at Nissan Electric Charging Stations

Some drivers are hesitant to purchase electric cars because they worry about where they will charge them. Many EV owners charge their cars with a Level 2 charger at home. The 2023 Nissan Leaf is easy to charge at home with a Level 1 household outlet or a Level 2 outlet. You can use a DC Fast Charging System while on the road, but you’ll need a special CHAdeMO connector. With the charging adaptor, the LEAF will gain 80% in about 40 minutes.

Drivers can charge the 2023 Nissan ARIYA with all three charging systems without any special adaptors. With a zippy DC Fast Charging system, you can add up to 80% in a little over 30 minutes. While a gas-powered vehicle fills up faster at a gas station, the eco-friendly benefits of electric vehicles make up for the time spent at quick-charging stations while on long road trips.

However, most EV drivers use late-night charging time at home to get the lowest electric rates. They also rely on regenerative braking to increase driving range, especially on city streets with stop-and-go traffic.
