(models with Navigation System)
The Li-ion battery charging status and the
Li-ion battery warmer (if so equipped) op-
eration can be checked using an internet
enabled smart phone or personal com-
puter at home. You may also choose tohave SMS messages (text messages) sent
to a cellular phone. Additionally, the vehi-
cle’s heater and air conditioner can be set
to operate using the Climate Ctrl. Timer
function or A/C-heater remote function, if
necessary. For additional information, see
“Remote climate control” (P. 4-41).
LTI2645
EV-14EV Overview

NOTE:
• To check the Li-ion battery chargingstatus or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal com-
puter, the following conditions must be
met:– The vehicle must be located in a cel- lular phone or smart phone cover-
age area.
– The internet enabled cellular phone or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
– The computer must be connected to the internet.
– A cellular phone must be used to communicate with the vehicle.
– A cellular phone capable of text mes- saging must be used to receive text
message regarding vehicle charge
status.
• The remote heater and cooler can ad- just the in-cabin temperature.
• When the charge connector is discon- nected from the vehicle, the heater and
air conditioner operates using vehicle
Li-ion battery electric power. • If the remote heater and air condi-
tioner function and Li-ion battery
charging are performed at the same
time, Li-ion battery charging will take
longer than usual due to the power
used to heat or cool the vehicle.
CHECKING LI-ION BATTERY
CHARGING STATUS
The Li-ion battery charge status can be
checked on the NISSAN Data Center web-
site via an internet enabled smart phone or
personal computer.
If the Li-ion battery is not sufficiently
charged, you can start charging the Li-ion
battery via the remote charge function. For
additional information, see “Charging re-
lated remote function” (P. CH-48).

OPERATING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM BEFORE
DRIVING
The vehicle’s heating and air conditioning
system can be turned on via remote con-
trol with an internet enabled smart phone
or personal computer.
This allows the interior of the vehicle to be
heated or cooled while the vehicle is charg-
ing. This reduces the load on the Li-ion bat-
tery while the vehicle is being driven and
can help increase the vehicle driving range.
For additional information, see “Remote cli-
mate control” (P. 4-41).
Notification of the Li-ion battery
warmer operation (if so equipped)
You can be notified with the status of the
Li-ion battery warmer operation on the
NISSAN Data Center website via an internet
enabled smart phone or personal computer.
When the power switch is in the OFF posi-
tion and the charge connector is not con-
nected, if the Li-ion battery warmer starts
or stops, it notifies you to connect the char-
ger to the vehicle.
For additional information, refer to the
NissanConnect® Manual.

CHARGING AFTER DRIVING
Charging the Li-ion battery
When you return home, connect the ve-
hicle to the charging device installed at
your home or the EVSE plugged to outlet
using the normal charge connector.
Charge the vehicle or set the charging
timer function to have the vehicle charge
at a specific time. For additional informa-
tion, see “Charging timer” (P. CH-43).
1. When the power switch is turned off, thesettings of the charging timer, the Cli-
mate Ctrl. Timer and the charge connec-
tor lock functions and the driving range are displayed on the vehicle information
display. For additional information, see
“Timer display” (P. CH-46).
2. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, see
“Charge port lid” (P. 3-20).
3. Connect the charge connector to the vehicle.
4. When the charging timer is turned on, charging starts at the set time. When the
charging timer is not turned on, charg-
ing starts immediately.
NOTE:
• Charging can be started remotely, evenif the charging timer is set up.
• When you have forgotten to connect the charge connector at home, there is
a function that can notif y you via a text
message capable cellular phone, inter-
net enabled smart phone or personal
computer. For additional information,
see “Charging related remote function”
(P. CH-48) (models with Navigation
System).
• NISSAN recommends that you connect the normal charge cable when getting
out of the vehicle, even if it is not going
to be used. By doing this, you can get
the most out of the remote climate
control (models with Navigation Sys-
tem) and Climate Ctrl. Timer functions
the next time you use the vehicle.
LEV2099
EV-22EV Overview

Charging stations or V2X charging/
discharging devices using this standard
are UL certified and safe to use in the US.
While supported by NISSAN, this connector
may not become the US SAE standard. V2X
charging/discharging is possible (even
several times a day). If the battery tempera-
ture is near the red zone, in order to protect
the battery, power of the V2X charging/
discharging will be limited.
For additional information, consult a V2X
device manufacturer or a V2X charging/
discharging service provider.
Power limitation mode
This mode protects the health and opera-
tion of the vehicle's Li-ion battery. This
mode operates in certain extreme condi-
tions (heat, cold, low state of charge). Power
available to vehicle systems, including its
traction motor, is limited resulting in limited
performance, acceleration and top speed.
Charging may be automatically termi-
nated, especially with repeated quick
charging in extreme hot weather.Checking Li-ion battery charge
The three methods for checking the
amount of charge are as follows:
• Check by using the Li-ion battery avail-
able charge gauge on the vehicle infor-
mation display when the power switch is
placed in the ON position. For additional
information, see “Li-ion battery available
charge gauge” (P. 2-9) and “Low battery
charge indicator” (P. 2-38).
• Check by using an internet enabled smart phone or personal computer. For
additional information, refer to the
“NissanConnect® Manual”.
• Check by using the charging status indi- cator light. For additional information, see
“Charging status indicator lights”
(P. CH-49).
NOTE:
• During the charge operation, charge continues when the power switch is
placed in the ON position.
• The Li-ion battery cannot be charged if the quick charge connector and the
normal charge connector are con-
nected at the same time. If another
charge connector is connected mid-
charge, charging will stop. • For safety reasons, it is not possible to
switch to the READY to drive position
while a charge connector is connected.
• During charging, it is possible that the radio may be inaudible due to noise by
the electromagnetic wave.
HOW TO NORMAL CHARGE (AC
220–240 volt) BY CHARGING
DEVICE
WARNING
• If you use any medical electric de-
vices, such as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker or an implantable cardio-
vascular defibrillator, check with the
electric medical device manufac-
turer concerning the effects that
charging may have on implanted de-
vices before starting the charge op-
eration. Charging may affect the
operation.
• Be sure to follow the precautions for
using the charging device that can be
installed in your home. Failing to do
so could result in serious injury or
death.
