I have been exclusively using DC fast charging for the Ioniq5 (2-year free charging) for the past 10 months and I plan to use EvGo DC fast charging for Ariya (1-year free charging). If I were to buy a home EVSE, I will buy wall box with Nissan reservation discount.
Advantages of Wallbox
1. Nissan Discount
2. UL Listed
3. Connects with Wifi
4. Integrates with Alexa (voice commands to start/stop charging)
If you are looking for a sturdy outdoor EVSE, then lot of positive reviews for Grizzle. Home products – GRIZZL-E

After driving your new Premier trim for nearly a week, can you share the pros and cons of the Ariya as compared to the Ioniq5?

I have been using a ChargePoint home charger about 2 year for my Kia Niro PHEV. Received incentive from electric utility. It works well and provide good data on the app to track usage. Scheduling is easy to get lowest rates.

Way back when we bought our 2011 Leaf we had a Blink charger installed -- it was free as part of participating in some studies -- compared to today's chargers it was a great big thing that needed to be hooked up to the internet and all so it could spy on us and report back on our charging habits, but hey, it was FREE! Several years later after the studies were all done, we replaced it with another Blink, and by then we had a 2012 Leaf, too. Several years after that we bought a Siemens charger and a 2018 Leaf and gave the Blink charger and the 2011 Leaf to a friend. We might take advantage of the Wallbox discount, too.

We still charge our Leaf with our “free” circa 2011 Blink charger as it continues to be trouble free. So we have no plans to upgrade our old charger and will continue use it for our new Ariya. When the day comes that our vintage Blink charger finally dies, it’s replacement will be quick and easy since it was originally wired utilizing a standard 50 amp rated receptacle.

Can someone who has a Wallbox charger or an Ariya in possession, clarify something for me? it appears the Wallbox has a type 1, J1772 connector on the end of the 25ft cable. When I look at the Ariya there is a type 2 socket with different pins. Does the WallBox or the Ariya come with an adapter to convert those two plugs to match?
Is the type 2 socket from a photo or review that is not based in North America? Other regions use type 2.

Ahh OK thanks. I was quite confused. The article and picture I was reading was from an Electrek article last Spring. It showed a seemingly U.S. Ariya, left side drive, with a type 2 charge port so I was perplexed! Thanks for clearing that up!
