EV Service and Maintenance

We believe owning a Nissan EV should be a hassle-free experience. While electric vehicles have more straightforward maintenance needs compared to gasoline-powered cars, understanding service and maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Electric vehicle maintenance focuses on preventative measures to keep your EV running smoothly. This includes regular tire rotations and alignments, cabin air filter replacements, and brake fluid flushes. These services, typically performed every 6 months or 7,500 miles, help ensure safe and efficient operation. Additionally, EV service addresses specific issues that may arise with your EV's electrical components or software. This involves tasks like battery health checks, high-voltage system diagnostics, and software updates. Taking care of your Nissan EV goes beyond scheduled service and maintenance. Simple practices like monitoring tire pressure, practicing regenerative braking, and avoiding extreme temperatures can significantly contribute to battery health and overall vehicle performance. Our dedicated service team is equipped with the skills and knowledge to handle all your Nissan EV needs. We offer convenient scheduling options, comfortable waiting areas, and access to genuine OEM Nissan parts to ensure your electric vehicle receives the best possible care. So, whether you're due for routine maintenance or have a service concern, our team is here to help you confidently navigate the world of EV ownership.

Charging Your EV

Charging your Nissan electric vehicle is a crucial aspect of ownership. Nissan EVs offer a variety of charging options to suit your needs and lifestyle. Level 1 charging, using a standard household outlet, is ideal for overnight charging and provides basic range replenishment. For faster charging, Level 2 charging stations, commonly found at workplaces, public parking areas, and shopping centers, significantly reduce charging times. Finding nearby charging stations is easier than ever. Many navigation apps and dedicated EV charging apps allow you to locate stations, check their real-time availability, and even plan your route around charging points. Additionally, Nissan offers partnerships with various charging networks, providing access to exclusive benefits and discounts. For ultimate charging convenience, consider installing a home charging station. Preston Nissan can guide you through the process, recommending qualified electricians and assisting with choosing the right station for your home and budget. Home charging is one of the many benefits of buying an EV and ensures your electric vehicle is always ready for your next adventure. Our EV specialists will answer your questions, guide you through the different EV charging options, and help you find the perfect solution to power your electric journey.

EV Environmental Benefits

Choosing a Nissan electric vehicle is a powerful decision with significant environmental benefits that contribute to a healthier planet for generations to come. The most impactful advantage of switching to an EV is having zero tailpipe emissions. Unlike gasoline-powered cars, EVs don't release harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, contributing to smog and respiratory problems. By switching to an EV, you're directly reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to cleaner air for your community. While traditional vehicles lose energy through combustion, EVs convert most of the energy from the grid into power for the motor. Additionally, regenerative braking in EVs captures energy during deceleration, further reducing overall energy consumption. The environmental benefits of electric vehicles extend beyond your daily commute. As the renewable energy sector continues to grow, so will the sustainability of EVs. By choosing a Nissan EV, you're not only making a positive impact today but also investing in a future powered by cleaner energy sources. At Preston Nissan, we're passionate about promoting sustainable transportation. We offer a variety of Nissan EVs, each with impressive range and features, allowing you to experience electric driving while contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment.

EV Affordability

EV affordability is a key factor when considering a new car. We're here to show you how owning a Nissan electric vehicle can be a surprisingly cost-effective choice, offering significant savings compared to gasoline-powered vehicles over time. Nissan EVs boast exceptional fuel efficiency, translating to significant cost savings on electricity compared to gasoline. Additionally, government incentives like tax credits and rebates can further reduce the upfront cost of owning an EV. But the financial benefits go beyond fuel costs. EVs generally require less frequent and less expensive maintenance compared to gasoline vehicles. They have fewer moving parts, eliminating the need for oil changes, spark plugs, and other routine maintenance associated with gasoline engines. This translates to significant savings throughout your EV's lifespan. Additionally, many states offer incentives like reduced registration fees and access to HOV lanes for EVs, further enhancing their affordability. At Preston Nissan, we're committed to making the switch to electric ownership accessible. We offer competitive financing options and can help you navigate available incentives to make your Nissan EV purchase even more attractive. Our dedicated EV specialists can provide a comprehensive breakdown of ownership costs, ensuring you make an informed decision. So, if you're looking for a car that's not only eco-friendly but also budget-friendly, consider a Nissan EV.
