Save on more than just gas

Zero tailpipe emissions make gas prices a thing of the past. And because there are fewer moving parts in an electric drivetrain, maintenance costs less too. When it comes to EV benefits, that’s only the beginning.

How they work

Close up of Nissan EV electric motor

Inside an EV powertrain

Nissan EVs use electricity stored in rechargeable high-voltage batteries to power an electric motor. That motor converts the electric energy into mechanical power that moves the wheels and allows the vehicle to operate.

Charging your EV

Recharge your battery at home or away with three different levels of EV charger. Ranging from the kind you can install in your garage, to thousands public charging stations, your next charge is right around the corner. [[1127]]

Brakes that boost your battery

Get the most battery life for your buck. When you step on the brakes, a Nissan EV captures the heat that’s produced, and converts it into energy that’s stored in the battery. It’s called regenerative braking, and it helps maximize range.
