Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh 225 kW EV charger: which one fits best?
The Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh 225 kW can charge at 22 kW at home, which few electric cars can. The 225 kW is the output of its two electric motors, not its charging power. On a single-phase connection the car charges at up to 7.4 kW. A three-phase connection is the heavier supply with three live wires. With that and the 22 kW on-board charger, it reaches up to 22 kW. That changes your choice of charger. Most cars stop at 11 kW, but this version can make full use of a 22 kW charger. The other Ariya versions differ in battery and power; our Nissan Ariya EV charger overview compares them side by side.
For the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh 225 kW we recommend a charger from our 22 kW EV chargers.
The on-board charger, the charger built into the car, is not the same in every country. In the UK, Nissan fits the 22 kW on-board charger as standard on this version. In Germany, the current model has 11 kW three-phase as standard. In France, 7.4 kW is standard and 22 kW is an option. A 22 kW charger suits all of them: it gives each car its full on-board power. Check your vehicle documents to see which charger your Ariya has.

Which EV charger suits the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh 225 kW?
With the 22 kW on-board charger, this version charges at up to 22 kW. A 22 kW charger really pays off then. Your home does need a three-phase connection of 3x32 A. Only have 3x16 A? Then an 11 kW charger is still a good choice if your car has the 22 kW or 11 kW on-board charger. It charges at a full 11 kW, and the battery is usually full overnight.
Does your Ariya have the 7.4 kW on-board charger? Then it charges on one phase, so an 11 kW charger would limit it to 3.7 kW. A 22 kW charger gives that car its full 7.4 kW. On a single-phase home supply, the car charges at up to 7.4 kW whichever charger you choose.
Also look at the meter in the charger. A MID meter is a certified kWh meter built into the charger. It records exactly how much electricity goes into your car, separate from your household consumption. That way you always know what charging at home costs you.
Compare the 22 kW EV chargers in our range, or go straight to the chargers with a MID meter. The Ariya's charging port is Type 2. With a charger that has a fixed cable, you plug straight in at home. With a socket model, or when charging on the road, you use a matching Type 2 charging cable.
How long does the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh 225 kW take to charge?
A quick calculation divides the usable battery capacity by the charging power. With an 11 kW charger, 87 kWh takes about 8 hours, plus some charging losses. That still fits into one night. Does your car have the 22 kW on-board charger? With a 3x32 A connection and a 22 kW charger, Nissan quotes about 5 hours from 10 to 100%. On the road, you charge at a DC fast charger at up to 130 kW.
We always recommend having a qualified electrician connect the charger, because it is safer. We can arrange the installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. In Germany it runs via a free quotation.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh 225 kW charge at 22 kW at home?
Yes, if your car has the 22 kW on-board charger. In the UK that is standard on this version; in some other countries it is an option. You only reach 22 kW with a three-phase connection of 3x32 A and a 22 kW charger. On a single-phase connection you charge at up to 7.4 kW.
Does the Nissan Ariya need an EV charger with a MID meter?
Not for charging itself. A MID meter is useful if you want to know exactly how many kWh you charge at home. It measures your car's electricity separately from the rest of the house, so the figure is reliable. That helps anyone who keeps an eye on charging costs. It also gives you a sound basis if your employer reimburses your charging.
