Charging recommendations for Nissan Ariya

The Nissan Ariya comes with a Level 2 charging adapter (EVSE) that charges at 32 amps by default.

This power level exceeds the capacity of a typical dryer circuit, creating an unsafe overcurrent condition.

Additionally, the Nissan Ariya lacks the ability to reduce the charging rate from the car, a feature available in many other vehicles.

Therefore, to safely charge a Nissan Ariya on a dryer circuit, consider the following options:

Purchase a wall charger that allows current selection. Most modern wall chargers offer this feature.
Purchase a mobile charger with current selection capability, which is becoming more common.
Purchase a 24-amp charger from SplitVolt, which limits the charge rate to 24 amps by default.
