The Ariya has CCS-format DC fast charging rather than CHAdeMo used on the Nissan Leaf EV since 2010.

In-Charge is swapping dealers’ CHAdeMo-compliant fast chargers with newer ABB 50kW fast chargers which can charge older EVs as well as the new model.

Nissan is also using In-Charge Energy’s software, In-Control, claimed to be the first fleet-focused charger management platform, which allows users to digitally operate, monitor and maintain individual chargers throughout their life cycle. It also allows dealers to prepare reports for carbon-emission tax credit opportunities.

The hardware installations and infrastructure upgrades dealerships are expected to be complete by the end of 2021.
