Electric vehicles (EVs) tick all the boxes! Nissan have an in-depth understanding of the advantages of a battery pack that power silent electric motors. Their EVs deliver an improved range and performance to ensure optimal efficiency as you drive.
EVs are able to store electricity in rechargeable high-voltage batteries, which then power an electric motor. The electric energy is then converted by the motor to create mechanical power to put the vehicle into motion.
Your EV battery will require charging from a power outlet; this could be done from the comfort of your own home with a home charger or on the go at a public charging point.
Regenerative braking utilises the energy that’s produced when decelerating and stores it back in the battery. Once the driver accelerates that energy is redelivered to deliver momentum to the vehicle. Because of less demand on the brakes, all parts of the vehicle have a longer life cycle.
Charging up your EV has never been easier. By having a home charger with EVSE cable, all you need to do is connect it to a dedicated domestic socket (one that has a direct line to the circuit breaker and to no other sockets) and your EV will efficiently charge overnight.
Using an AC home charger is one of the best places to charge up your EV and offers much faster charging times than a three-pin socket. Power outputs range from 3kW to 22kW – dependent on your electricity supply and vehicle capability. And did you know that the government EV charge point grant provides support towards installation?

More and more public charging points are opening around the UK to accommodate EV driving. Zap Map estimates that there are currently over 42,000 charging points across the country, which includes more than 6,700 rapid and ultra-rapid chargers.
For quick, easy and efficient EV charging, an EV home charger is a fantastic option. What’s more, Nissan work closely with two of the best home charger installer providers: E.ON and Pod Point. Once ordered, a trained technician will install it before your vehicle arrives (unless you’ve collected it in person). Plus, there are several finance options available to best suit your budget.
The smoothness of all-electric driving isn’t just in the performance of the car, it’s in the whole experience. Get your EV, home charger and standard home installation for one single monthly payment that’s available at all Nissan dealerships, brought about as a result of Nissan’s collaboration with E.ON and Pod Point.
Nissan’s close work with E.ON and Pod Point means that they can offer a wide range of charging solutions and installation services. You still have the option to pay upfront for your charger, click the link below to find out more details about Nissan’s selected installers.
One of the biggest concerns surrounding EV driving is running out of charge before you reach your destination. While the latest EVs have more than enough range to cover daily trips, planning ahead is still key. Here our top tips to help you maximise your electric range.
With everyday usage, an EV’s battery won’t decline significantly. One of the best ways to take care of your EV’s battery is to not let the charge drop below 5%.
An EV’s battery capacity is more than sufficient for day-to-day journeys. If you’re gearing up to go on a long trip, allocate time to take a break and charge up your EV.
Speed, sharp acceleration and braking, road conditions, passengers, weight of luggage, tyre pressure and vehicle temperature all affect the performance of any car make, including EVs. Driving efficiently will significantly help your car’s range and allow you to travel for longer stretches before needing to recharge.
Nissan Connect Services app allows you to use your phone like a remote control for your Nissan EV. Enjoy the freedom of the features, such as remote locking and unlocking, locating your Nissan, creating the perfect ambient temperature and setting your car’s charging settings.
Use the Zap Map app to locate all public charging points so you can plot your journey and drive with confidence.
You can travel assured that your Nissan EV batteries are highly reliable. But for that extra peace of mind, Nissan’s aftersales service offers an extensive 8-year or 100,000-mile warranty on their batteries.
Solar energy doesn’t just power your home, it can charge your EV too – and provide a number of savings and benefits. Find out more about Nissan’s partnership with E.ON Home Solutions by contacting your local Hendy Nissan.
All the vehicle’s torque is provided by the electric motor, which delivers seamless and powerful acceleration with no engine noise, so you can relish the sound of silence as you travel. The acceleration pedal keeps you in control and the other pedal allows you to brake responsively and regeneratively.
Say goodbye to high petrol costs and waiting in a long queue at the station. And with fewer moving components, maintenance costs are vastly reduced – this is even the case for the brake pads as the motor allows the car to slow down. Plus, the regenerative capabilities ensure that energy is fed back to the battery, decreasing energy waste in the process.
Tailpipe emissions are a thing of the past with all-electric driving – enjoy eco-friendly driving in style.
