In-Charge Energy Supports Nissan North America Dealerships With EV Charging Program

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In-Charge Energy, the industry leader in turnkey commercial fleet EV infrastructure solutions, is working with Nissan North America to install charging hardware and software at more than 500 dealerships across the United States. The upgraded chargers are part of the preparations for the all-new 2022 Nissan Ariya electric crossover, hitting roads later this year.

"Having a well-equipped dealer network is critical to a successful EV rollout," said Cameron Funk, CEO of In-Charge Energy. "It is incredibly important that we help create a seamless experience for Nissan customers, which includes early adopters of the Leaf as well as new market entrants who will love the Ariya."

The all-new Ariya will be equipped with CCS-format DC fast charging, rather than the CHAdeMo-format charging that has been used in the Nissan Leaf EV since 2010.

The In-Charge team has been working closely with Nissan to identify and swap dealers' CHAdeMo-compliant fast chargers with newer 50 kW fast chargers from ABB that can charge Nissan's older EVs as well as the new Ariya.  

In addition to the sweeping charging hardware upgrades across the country, Nissan has opted to deploy In-Charge Energy's software platform, In-Control. The first fleet-focused charger management platform, In-Control allows users to digitally operate, monitor and maintain individual chargers throughout a charger's life cycle. In-Control even allows dealers to pull reports for carbon-emission tax credit opportunities.

"Our In-Control software is like the Office Suite of fleet charging," said Krishna Vanka, Chief Product Officer at In-Charge Energy. "This platform will allow Nissan dealers to easily keep track of their chargers' performance and makes it easy to submit workorders if they experience any issues."

The hardware installations and additional infrastructure upgrades at Nissan's dealerships are expected to be complete by the end of 2021.
