Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh Performance EV charger: which one fits best?
The Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh Performance charges at home at up to 22 kW, thanks to its optional three-phase on-board charger. Most home chargers stop at 11 kW. With a 22 kW three-phase unit you use everything this version has. Nissan's other models charge at different speeds, and our overview of all Nissan EV chargers compares them.
For the Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh Performance we recommend a charger from our 22 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh Performance?
With the optional three-phase on-board charger this version takes up to 22 kW, the maximum for alternating current at home. Three-phase means your home supply carries three live wires instead of one, which is what allows 22 kW. A 22 kW charger uses that speed in full. Watch out for one thing first: check which on-board charger your car actually has. The on-board charger is the part in the car that converts AC to the battery's DC. The standard unit is single-phase and stops at 7.4 kW, and that changes what a charger delivers.
A 22 kW charger is the safe pick either way. With the optional charger it fills the battery in roughly 4.5 hours. With the standard single-phase charger it still gives you the full 7.4 kW. A 22 kW unit supplies 32 amps per phase. An 11 kW charger is only a sensible saving if you have the optional charger. A full charge then takes around nine and a half hours, plenty for overnight charging.
Look at the certified meter as well. A MID meter is a calibrated kWh meter. It records exactly how much energy goes into your car, separate from your household use. On a car with an 87 kWh battery that adds up quickly. You see at a glance what a full charge costs. Our EV chargers with a MID meter are three-phase, and the 22 kW class is where most of them sit.
Two more features earn their place on this car. Load balancing means the charger reads how much current the house is drawing. It lowers the charge power when other appliances need it. That matters at 22 kW, so our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing are worth a look. An EV charger with an app lets you move a session to cheaper night-time hours. Both features also appear in our 11 kW EV chargers. Our home EV chargers page collects the lighter setups in one place.
We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician. That is safer and it matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. In the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium you order it together with your charger; in Germany it runs through a free quote. Outside those three countries we ship the charger, but you arrange the installation locally.
How long does the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh Performance take to charge?
The charging times here are real-world figures. They already include the losses that come with every session. On a 22 kW three-phase charger you go from empty to full in about 4.5 hours. On an 11 kW charger a full charge takes around nine and a half hours. That suits overnight charging on a standard three-phase connection.
That time assumes the optional three-phase charger. With the standard single-phase unit an 11 kW charger delivers only 3.7 kW. A full charge then stretches well beyond a night. If you only have a single-phase connection, charging stops at 7.4 kW and a full battery takes around 14 hours. The Ariya uses a type 2 charging cable, the same connection as almost every modern charger.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh Performance need a three-phase connection?
For the full 22 kW, yes. Only a three-phase supply in your fuse box delivers that speed. On a single-phase supply the car charges at up to 7.4 kW. At 22 kW, load balancing is worth having. It adjusts the charge power to what the house is using, so you do not overload the supply.
Why does a MID meter matter on this Ariya?
A MID meter is a calibrated kWh meter that records your charging accurately. It keeps your car separate from the rest of your household use, so you know exactly what a full battery costs. With an 87 kWh pack that difference is easy to see.
Can I charge the Ariya e-4ORCE Performance on an 11 kW charger?
You can, provided your car has the optional three-phase on-board charger. It then charges at 11 kW instead of 22 kW. A full battery takes around nine and a half hours. For overnight charging that is plenty, and an 11 kW unit is often cheaper and asks less of your fuse box.
