Nissan announced today an “enhancement “to the MyNISSAN app that claims to simplify EV ownership by consolidating vehicle management and public charging into one app. Users store a default payment method in the MyNISSAN app, then once at a compatible charging station, simply tap an on-screen button to start a charging session within the NISSAN ENERGY Charge Network. This new app will be available to MyNISSAN app users by November 2024.
“Owning and charging a Nissan EV will become simpler and more seamless with the launch of the NISSAN ENERGY Charge Network. The new network allows Nissan Ariya and future Nissan EV drivers to use their MyNISSAN app to find charging stations, see real-time charger availability and pay for charging – all in one streamlined experience,” Nissan said in a release.
The NISSAN ENERGY Charge Network includes more than 90,000 Fast Chargers in the U.S. Charging partners are Electrify America, a leader in EV charging with the most public fast charging stations in the U.S. Additional participating networks include the Shell Recharge branded network, ChargePoint and EVgo networks. There are plans [Hopes? AutoCrat] to incorporate additional networks in the future.
The aspects of this new app is not currently available to Nissan LEAF owners; however they can search charging locations through the NissanConnect EV and Services app.
