Glad to see Nissan endorse CCS instead of Chademo. Most of the DC fast charging stations in my area either do not support Chademo or have only added 1 Chademo plug for every 4 CCS plugs.
Finally Nissan adds active cooling to the battery!
This move will leave the Mitsubishi Outlander as the only remaining new car in the US with Chademo once the Nissan Leaf is either phased out or adopts a CCS plug like the Ariya.

Nissan has announced that the new Ariya will use to the Combined Charging System (CCS) instead of CHAdeMO in the US and Europe

Reportedly, Ariya sold in Japan will still have a Chademo plug because Chademo is dominant in Japan.

Yes CCS makes perfect sense.

VW Group and other EV makers are on CCS so this is just Nissan going with the tide.

Hallelujah! This makes the Ariya way more appealing for charging instead of Chademo.

Yeah it makes the most sense to make charging as accessible as possible. Nissan can't afford to spend money on increasing Chademo chargers.
