With Nissan’s ‘No Charge to Charge’ promotion, new Leaf buyers in certain markets will potentially benefit from two years of free public charging which Nissan believes will also help to boost ‘range confidence’.
New Nissan Leaf drivers can receive free charging at eligible public stations, under the new ‘No Charge to Charge’ programme, which is now live in ten markets across the US. With free access to charging at more than 2,600 public stations available in the initial programme markets, including more than 200 quick chargers, Leaf drivers are also experiencing the ‘range confidence’ that public charging can provide.
The value of ‘No Charge to Charge’ will continue to grow, with Nissan’s plans to support the installation of an additional 500 quick chargers at Nissan dealerships and at business and municipal partners in key Leaf markets across the US. These quick charging stations can charge a Nissan Leaf battery to 80% capacity in about 30 minutes.
“Free charging is a great way for Nissan and our charging partners to make Leaf an unbeatable value for the average American driver,” said Brendan Jones, director, Nissan electric vehicle sales and infrastructure. “The popularity of ‘No Charge to Charge’ since our April announcement shows that public charging spurs range confidence and additional Leaf sales.”
‘No Charge to Charge’ takes advantage of the new EZ-ChargeSM card, a first-of-its-kind card that offers Nissan Leaf owners access to five leading EV charging networks with a single card. New owners will receive an EZ-Charge card that will provide access to chargers with ChargePoint, Blink, CarCharging, AeroVironment and NRG eVgo.
‘No Charge to Charge’ has now launched in 10 of the top markets for Nissan Leaf sales, including San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Oregon., Nashville, Phoenix, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston and Washington, DC In 2015, Nissan plans to offer the ‘No Charge to Charge’ programme and EZ-Charge card at LEAF dealers in at least 15 additional US markets.
