Nissan ARIYA 2023 Owners Manual
4.3.2.2. NISSAN EVSE (where fitted)
- Cap (where fitted)
- Domestic plug
- Control box* (indicator lights)
*: You can pass a rope through the hole (A) on the control box in order to hang it up while the Li-ion battery is charging.
The NISSAN EVSE with domestic plug provides 8–10A* AC power (3–6 kW max) to charge the Li-ion battery.
*: Max current rating depends on the countries.
Your NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer can provide full details of our partner Electro-Mobility Operator (EMO) in your country who can give you guidance on the best way to charge your vehicle.
Do not use any electrical outlet which does not comply with the latest National Regulations to charge your vehicle.
If your house’s electrical system is old or has not been inspected recently we strongly recommend that you get your wiring and outlet inspected by a qualified electrician before charging.
Do not use extension cables because most extension cables cannot carry the required current and might get hot.
Do not use adapters as the NISSAN EVSE is not designed to be used with adapters and might get hot.
Ensure that your vehicle is charged on a dedicated circuit.
A dedicated circuit is a line from the circuit breaker with no other electrical outlets.
Most detached garages will be supplied by a dedicated circuit but often outlets inside the house are on a ring main.
Ring main outlets can become overloaded from other electrical devices that are plugged in at the same time as the vehicle which will trip your electricity supply.
If there are any signs of wear, damage or discoloration, do not use the outlet for charging.
Inspect the outlet regularly and replace it if there are any signs of wear, damage or discoloration.
If you have any doubt regarding the capacity of the outlet or wiring, do not charge your vehicle until you have confirmed the outlet’s suitability by consulting your Electro-Mobility Operator (EMO) or a qualified electrician.
Do not disassemble, repair or modify the EVSE.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter for charging.
Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
Do not touch the electrical terminals of the EVSE.
Do not touch a vehicle or the EVSE if you hear thunder.
If you have a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implant, keep a distance of at least 15 cm (6 in) between you and the EVSE control box.
Do not allow a child to handle or use the EVSE without adult supervision.
Precautions on handling the EVSE
Do not pull, twist, bend, step on, or drag the cable and/or cord.
Do not wind the cable and/or cord around objects such as the normal charge connector and/or control box.
Hold the main body of the domestic plug and securely insert it straight up as far as the base.
Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the domestic plug.
Do not use the EVSE when there is an abnormality or problem, such as a deep cut, crack, or damage, or if the domestic plug is corroded.
If charging stops when you move the domestic plug or cord, this may be caused by a line breakage. When this happens, immediately stop using the EVSE.
Immediately stop using the EVSE if you notice an abnormality or problem such as a strange smell, smoke, or unusual noises being emitted from the EVSE while charging.
Precautions on the electrical outlet
Use a grounded electrical outlet that complies with standards and regulations in your country or area.
Do not use an electrical outlet if the domestic plug is loose when inserted in the outlet or if there is damage or corrosion on the outlet side.
Ensure electrical supply is AC 220–240 volt, 50 or 60 Hz.
Before you connect the EVSE, be sure to check the rated current shown on the EVSE to ensure that the electrical outlet and circuit have enough current capacity to charge your vehicle safely.
The EVSE draws a constant 10-16A*, you must ensure that the electrical outlet and household wiring used for charging are rated at this level and comply with the latest electrical wiring standard and regulations in your country or area.
*: Max current rating depends on the country.
If in any doubt about the electrical outlet and circuit, consult a qualified electrician.
Be sure to connect the EVSE to an electrical outlet with the rated voltage only.
Precautions on storing the EVSE
Do not store the EVSE in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not store the EVSE in a place exposed to wind and rain.
Be sure to store the EVSE with the cap (where fitted) on to keep the terminal part of the normal charge connector away from dirt and dust.
Do not store the EVSE with the cable and/ or cord wound around the control box.
Do not store the EVSE in a condition in which the cable and/or cord are twisted.
The control box will become hot while the EVSE is charging. This is not a malfunction.
