Nissan is starting up an electric vehicle charging network that lets Ariya SUV owners connect and pay at participating third-party charging stations using the MyNissan app. The new “Nissan Energy Charge Network” consists of “90,000 fast chargers” in the US from partner companies Electrify America, Shell Recharge, ChargePoint, and EVgo. Starting in November, Ariya owners can use a stored payment method in their MyNissan app to start and pay for a charging session with one tap at a station.

Nissan also says it “will make available” Tesla Supercharger-compatible NACS adapters for Ariya owners later this year. Some companies like Kia, Ford, and Rivian will or have been providing the adapter for free, while others like GM will sell one for a price. Nissan did not immediately respond to our email asking whether the adapter would be free. In 2025, Nissan plans to launch EVs with native NACS ports in the US and Canada.

The new Nissan charging network, app abilities, and NACS adapter news notably do not apply to the Nissan Leaf, which still bears the burden of carrying the dying CHAdeMO DC fast charging port standard and archaic connectivity software with the NissanConnect EV and Services app. The Leaf itself is also all but extinct, but it still stands as the car that made Nissan a pioneer in the EV market. The automaker plans to launch 16 new “electrified” car models by the end of fiscal year 2026.
