Nissan EV Carefree+
Nissan says that it is aiming to make electric car ownership easier so that people coming from gas cars can enjoy an EV without hassle. They plan to do this with their new customer care product they have coined EV Carefree+.
The new EV Carefree+ package will work to deliver Leaf and Ariya owners all-inclusive benefits that should help them navigate the electric vehicles without stress. Creating a positive experience for EV owners from the beginning is likely to be paramount for automakers hoping to transition their lineup to all-electric in the future.
While electric vehicles are gaining in popularity, some people remain averse to the prospect of buying one. Range anxiety is a major issue. And while vehicle manufacturers have made considerable progress in their range offerings, most long-range EVs are found in the premium/luxury segment and are often out of reach for many consumers.
This is where Nissan EV Carefree+ can give new EV owners greater peace of mind.
What Does the EV Carefree+ Package Include?
Nissan says that its new package is "one of the most comprehensive offerings in the industry for EV buyers." It puts together four pillars to support owners moving forward, including:
- EV charging assistance
- Included maintenance
- EV battery health assurance
- EV roadside assistance
While it's not uncommon these days for cars to offer included maintenance for a limited time, the EV-charging and battery-related assistance should appeal to electric car shoppers, especially if they are skeptical about making the switch from a gas car to an EV.
Let's take a closer look at the four pillars:
- EV Charging Assistance
Complimentary fast charging for the 2023 Ariya and Leaf on multiple charging networks.
Seamless home charging solutions via Wallbox3.
