Electric vehicles (EVs) come with their own set of maintenance needs, some of which are different from those of traditional cars. Here's a breakdown of Nissan EV maintenance required to keep your car in top shape for its maximum lifespan. The technicians at your local Nissan dealer are highly experienced with EVs and can promptly provide the necessary upkeep services. more Don't Overuse Fast Chargers While the battery pack in an EV doesn't require as much maintenance as a combustion engine, you still need to look after it. First and foremost, it's important to be aware of the factors that could accelerate wear and tear in your battery. One of these is fast chargers. Overusing fast chargers can degrade your battery, shortening its lifespan. It's best to get most of your charging from slower 120 or 240-volt chargers, which are kinder on your car. Stay Within the Optimal Charging Range Battery packs also become stressed when kept fully charged. Try to limit your battery to 80 percent of a full charge or less most of the time. Likewise, fully depleting your EV's battery will cause it to deteriorate faster; keep your battery's charge above 20 percent most of the time. Protect Your Battery From Heat and Cold Even short exposure to extreme temperatures can damage your EV's battery. Bear this in mind and keep your car out of extreme heat during summer and freezing conditions during winter whenever possible. Check and Change All Vehicle Fluids Your EV may not have motor oil, but it still uses a variety of essential fluids to keep the brakes, gearbox, power steering, differentials, and windshield wipers in good working order. Check your owner's manual for the ideal maintenance intervals for each fluid. One of the most important fluids will be the coolant that keeps your battery from overheating. Rotate Your Tires Twice a Year EV tires often need to handle a slightly heavier load than traditional cars, which puts them under more strain. Make sure to have your tires rotated at least twice a year and check them monthly for signs of damage or improper air pressure. Have Your Brakes Inspected Frequently Your brakes should also be inspected at least biannually. If you notice squealing, odd vibrations, or brake fluid issues, have the problem repaired at once at your local dealership. Book Nissan EV Maintenance at Your Nearest Nissan Dealer When you schedule routine EV services with us, you can rest assured that your Nissan is in capable hands. Our technicians are highly experienced with Nissan EVs and can ensure you continue to enjoy maximum responsiveness, comfort, and safety on the road.

Almost every electric vehicle you see today is still figuring things out. Not the LEAF. It's been doing the electric thing for over 15 years now and has clocked over 12 billion electric miles, more than any EV out there. That kind of experience shows it knows how to live the EV life. Now, what does the 2025 Nissan LEAF have to offer you? Leading the Charge With the 2025 Nissan LEAF Two Battery Options The smallest battery you'll find in the 2025 LEAF is a 40-kWh unit.

On this setup, the smaller battery hits full charge in about 7.5 hours. By contrast, the larger pack needs closer to 11 hours.

Room To Level Up in the SV Plus Trim Apart from packing the longest range, the SV Plus sharpens the LEAF's edge. Highlights include a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated power front seats, built-in navigation, a six-speaker audio system, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. ProPILOT Assist (Nissan's semi-autonomous driving system) and 360-degree surround view camera are standard fare.The 2025 LEAF offers just about everything you need for comfortable, efficient, and safe driving.

Checking your Nissan at every interval, as detailed in your owner's manual, can keep your vehicle in top condition for a long time. However, there are times when you have to visit your Nissan dealership for additional services and repairs. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to schedule your Nissan maintenance sooner rather than later. 5 Signs Your Nissan Needs Maintenance Warning Lights on Your Dash One of the most frequent telltale signs that your Nissan needs maintenance is a warning light illuminated on the driver information display. An engine warning light, for instance, can signal anything from minor issues like a loose cap to signs of internal engine failure. The battery warning light suggests there is something wrong with the vehicle's battery. While most issues are generally easy to fix, it is best to have your vehicle checked immediately to rule out any major problems. In addition to dashboard lights, modern Nissan vehicles can also signal that something is wrong with alert messages on your infotainment and driver information displays. more Spongy Braking Spongy braking refers to situations when your braking pedal feels too soft or spongy when you press it. This issue is generally caused by air inside the brake lines that prevents braking fluid from flowing properly. While the problem is easy to solve by flushing and changing the brake fluid, ignoring this issue can be a cause for major and potentially life-threatening accidents. Leaks Under the Vehicle A wet patch under the vehicle is not normally a cause for concern, as it is probably conditioning or exhaust system condensation. However, if the patch is colored or smells, it can signal a coolant, transmission fluid, or engine oil leak. All these issues must be investigated and fixed by a Nissan technician to prevent further damage and potential accidents. Strange Noises Is your Nissan squeaking, grinding, rattling, or making any other unusual noises? These are other signs your vehicle needs maintenance. Various sounds can signal various issues, including worn-out brake pads or tires, a low level of engine oil, transmission fluid and exhaust system problems, and more. Many of these sounds can signal major issues that must be diagnosed and fixed promptly. Strange Odors Strange smells, especially a burning smell, is another sign that something can be very wrong and that you should bring in your vehicle for an inspection. While this odor usually indicates an engine oil leak, it could also signal engine failure. Schedule Nissan Maintenance Services at Your Nissan Dealership Whether it's a strange noise, a smell, or a warning light, your safety comes first. As a leading dealership in the Decatur area, we offer discounts and a range of service specials to help you keep your Nissan in good working order without breaking the bank.

Room to Hide and Divide The Rogue is particularly practical when you equip the optional Divide-N-Hide feature, which adds two dividers to the cargo area. This allows you to create six different configurations in the cargo area depending on your needs. more If you need to separate some cargo from other cargo, then you can place a divider in the middle of the area. If you need to make sure certain cargo doesn't roll up against the liftgate, then you can angle two dividers, so there's a slope and certain items stay close to the rear seats. You can also create a private storage space using the dividers. These are just a few of the practical ways this system can be used, and it's also completely removable. Head Out on an Adventure Adventurous families will appreciate that there's an edition of the Rogue designed for off-roading. The Rock Creek Edition comes with all-terrain tires and hill descent control, providing extra stability anywhere you go. Its tubular roof rack gives you a place to secure gear that won't fit in the cabin, so you can always travel with everything you may need on an adventure. The Rock Creek Edition also has a camera system you can use to see the world around you more easily, letting you avoid debris and get around tight corners as safely as possible. Plus, the Rock Creek edition performs well while rock crawling, so it's ready to handle almost any condition you throw at it.
