Dear Friends,
Congratulations and Happy New Year 2023.
I am creating this channel to share resources, advice, suggestions, sharing buying experiences etc..
I took the delivery of the new Ariya (my first EV) on 12/30/2022 and these are my observations.
About the Ariya:
1. Very smooth Drive, I love it.
2. No floor mats and not available to buy at the dealer.
3. No spare tire. I found out that some new vehicles not coming with the spare tire.
4. Came with 98% charged and 10 miles on it. I drove 58 miles in the last couple of days and it has 85% charge
My Experience at the dealer:
1. Since Ariya is first at the dealer, both the dealer and myself are excited. The checkout process went very well.
2. No sales tax in NJ and $4K clean energy incentive make it more exciting.
3. Since this is the first car at the dealer, the Sales representative is also not familiar with all the details. He helped me to install and configure MyNisaan app on my phone and got connected to my car
4. Bought an additional warranty for 8 years bumper to bumper ($0 deductible) for $2500 Since this is the brand new model, I was tempted by the sales manager.
5. When asked about Evgo and Wallbox promotions, the sales team told me they will get back to me on that.
Questions:
1. How can we set up charging at home?
2. How can we get wallbox charging unit promotion?
3. How to get EvGo promo code?
4. I heard during the last month's cold wave some of the Tesla EVs are burned or not started. What precautions we need to take to avoid that? (apart from keeping in the garage and don't drive in blizzards)
Resources:
1. Register here for EvGo - Nissan Ariya | EVgo | Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations - EV Fast Chargers (Thanks JaHo -- New buyers look out re: Nissan / EVGO promo ) Not sure which plan we need to choose. I took basic plan. I did not get EvGo promo code. May be I need to call EvGo and ask them.
Please add more questions and resources to share...
Thank you all and best wishes!!
