With the future of automobiles looking increasingly electric, there’s never been a better time to purchase an EV. If you’re looking at the Nissan EV lineup at Bedford Nissan, you undoubtedly have many questions. That’s why we’ve assembled these five essential tips for first-time EV buyers.
Evaluate Driving Range
Each Nissan EV is rated for a specific mileage range if the battery is fully charged. Remember these numbers, especially if you head out on long journeys, and plan your trips carefully.
Maintain Your Battery
Without proper maintenance, the battery on your EV can degrade over time and lose charge capacity. Be sure to check your battery for any signs of corrosion, and never overcharge the battery beyond 100% capacity.
Know Where a Charger Is
If you’re going out on a long trip, it’s best to plot out pit stops where you can charge your car in advance. This way, you don’t have to scramble to find a charger and risk your battery dying. The NissanConnect® EV Services app can help with this.
Save Money with a Home Charger
A home charger isn’t just a convenient way to stay fully charged. It helps your vehicle start the day topped off and lets you charge with a Nissan-approved EV charger rather than one that may not be suitable for your vehicle.
Drive Normally
The best advice we can give new EV drivers is to drive like you normally would. EVs handle slightly differently than non-electric cars, but you should drive them as carefully as any other vehicle to get the best mileage out of them.
