NISSAN Electric Vehicle cost

Plug into the perks

Breeze past the pumps and keep going. Electric vehicles save you more than just gas money. Discover all the benefits that come with an EV, and learn why it’s one of the smartest investments you can make.

What’s in it for you

Going electric may be an investment, but the savings are well worth it. On top of reducing emissions and saving on gas, you’ll pay less for maintenance. Plus, you can take advantage of government incentives depending on where you live. If you happen to drive a Nissan ARIYA, you can even keep an eye on home energy consumption while you’re out.

Stop spending on gas

Driving an EV means producing zero tailpipe emissions – and spending zero dollars on gas. While there are certain energy costs associated with charging an EV at home, they’re often lower than the amount you’d be paying at the pumps. To curb those costs even further, you can charge overnight or on weekends, when electricity typically costs less. [[1145]]

Save on maintenance

When you own an electric vehicle, there are fewer moving parts to think about. Although EVs still require standard service and maintenance, there’s no combustion engine or traditional gearbox to keep up. That means you won’t be replacing engine fluid or changing the oil. They also use their motor to slow down, which helps preserve your brake pads. [[1132]]

Save up to $15,000 on ownership [[1145]]

When you switch from a gas-powered car to an EV, the total ownership cost savings can range from $10,000–$15,000. That means driving a Nissan LEAF can be approximately 20% less expensive than a similar car that runs on gas. [[1145]]

Commute up to 19 times per charge [[1146]]

The average daily commute to work is around 8.7 km. When you crunch the numbers, the Nissan LEAF’s maximum range of 342 km allows for up to 19 commutes per charge. With ARIYA’s 465 km of available range, it only increases from there. [[1146]][[1131]][[1154]]

Cruise in the HOV lane

Gliding past stop-and-go traffic saves you time, energy and battery life. Depending on where you’re located, driving an EV can grant you access to HOV and carpool lanes. [[1133]]

Access preferred parking

Many public charging ports are located right near the front entrances of stores – convenient when you need to top up your battery and run a few errands. [[1127]]

Hear more music, less motor

With no combustion engines, EVs provide whisper-quiet performance, which makes the cabin feel nice and peaceful. If you drive a Nissan EV, that also lets you focus in on the available Bose® sound system. [[1522]]

Cut out tailpipe emissions

Beyond the day-to-day electric benefits, you’re producing zero tailpipe emissions. That means you can leave gas prices and emissions testing in the past.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to charge a Nissan EV at home?

That depends on a few different factors, but the cost can be lower than what you’d spend on gas. Plus, the lower maintenance costs of owning an EV can contribute to the savings. For the most cost-effective charging, plug in outside of peak hours, when electricity rates are often lower. Usually, that means overnight.

What is the warranty on a Nissan EV?

The Nissan warranty includes coverage for defects in materials or workmanship for 8 years/160,000 kilometres (whichever occurs first) as well as protection against capacity loss below 9 segments of capacity (out of 12) as shown on the vehicle’s capacity gauge for a period of 8 years/160,000 kilometres (whichever occurs first). For complete information concerning coverage, conditions, limitations and exclusions, see your Nissan dealer and read the new vehicle warranty information booklet. [[1118]]

Does an EV cost more than a gas-powered car?

On average, EVs may have higher upfront costs than vehicles with an internal combustion engine. But these costs are often offset by what you save on maintenance and gas in the long run.

Are there incentives for buying EVs in Canada?

Yes, financial incentives are available from the federal government – and in select provinces – to support the purchase of new EVs. To learn more about these incentives, visit the ChargeHub online portal here.

What does maintenance cost for an EV?

While an EV still requires a standard level of upkeep, maintenance is generally less expensive than what it costs for the equivalent gas-powered vehicle. That’s because EVs have fewer moving parts that necessitate regular service and repairs. You don’t have to worry about things like oil changes, or transmission services.
