At Beaver County Nissan, we're thrilled to offer a variety of Nissan EVs that deliver impressive range and long-lasting battery performance. Conquering the open road in your electric vehicle is liberating, but understanding your range - the distance you can travel on a single charge - is vital.

Now, let's talk about your driving style. For optimal EV range, think like a fuel-efficient driver. Gentle acceleration, maintaining moderate speeds, and using regenerative braking all contribute to maximizing your range. Plus, planning your trips can make a difference. Consider mild temperatures, as extreme heat or cold can reduce range. Remember, your EV is your partner in sustainable driving. By understanding its range and practicing smart charging and driving habits, you'll unlock its full potential, enjoying a smooth, clean ride every mile of the way.


Whether cruising around town in the iconic Nissan LEAF or embarking on road trips with the Nissan ARIYA, you can be confident venturing further on a single charge. Both the Nissan LEAF and Nissan ARIYA are built to last, with their batteries designed for durability. Nissan offers an 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty on battery capacity, giving you added assurance on your investment.

EV Service & Maintenance
Unlike gas-powered vehicles, your EV doesn't need routine oil changes. But don't forget to take into account the importance of regular service. We perform comprehensive inspections that ensure your battery remains strong, the software stays updated, and the brakes are ready to stop on a dime. We also check tire alignment and rotation to maximize range and smooth your ride.  We also replace cabin air filters to keep your battery cool and healthy, service the cooling system for optimal temperature regulation, and visually inspect high-voltage components for any signs of wear.

Our team of expert EV technicians is here to guide you through the EV maintenance process. We'll share valuable tips on the following:
  • Battery care: Learn how to maximize your battery's health through proper charging habits and temperature management.
  • Routine maintenance: Discover what checks and services are essential for your specific EV model, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
  • Troubleshooting: Get quick answers to common questions and concerns, keeping your mind at ease.

Whether you need recommendations for at-home care or require professional maintenance services, our dedicated team is your spot. We'll help you maintain the peak performance and value of your EV, allowing you to enjoy the electric ride worry-free.
Charging Your EV
With more charging stations around, your next EV is ready to roll! But not all chargers are created equal. Understanding charging levels - slow home, faster home, super-fast public - and your driving needs is key. Short commutes? A standard outlet might suffice. Longer treks? Consider a 240-volt home charger or public station. Think of your battery as a high-performance athlete. Appropriate charging is its training regime. Opt for slower Level 2 charging whenever possible. It gently replenishes your battery, maximizing its health and lifespan. 

Love road trips? DC fast charging can refuel your EV quickly, but check compatibility and cost. Fast charging, while convenient for on-the-go situations, can stress the battery over time. While different models offer varying ranges, the real secret lies in taking care of your battery, the beating heart of your EV. Beaver County Nissan can help! We'll match your needs with the right charging options, from recommending home chargers to navigating public networks. Remember, charging tech is evolving, so stay informed to keep your electric journey smooth and efficient.
 
EV Affordability
Considering an electric vehicle, but the cost has you hitting the brakes? At Beaver County Nissan, we get it. Affordability is key and that is why Nissan EVs are a financially savvy choice for forward-thinking drivers.

Electric cars like Nissan's EV lineup are powered by electricity, which is a cheaper option than gasoline. Home charging is convenient and economical, offering substantial savings per mile versus ever-fluctuating gas prices. Plus, Nissan EVs require less maintenance due to their simpler electric drivetrains, saving you money on service visits.

On top of that, going electric can come with valuable local and national incentives! At Beaver County Nissan, we aim to stay up to date on all Pennsylvania rebates and grants for EV purchases so you can get the best deal possible. These incentives could significantly reduce the upfront cost of your new Nissan EV.

Beaver County Nissan is here to help you navigate the EV-buying journey. We'll explain all the available incentives and help you find the perfect Nissan EV that fits your budget and lifestyle.  Make the switch to electric and start saving today!
