Nissan Ariya Charging Time
A 2026 Nissan Ariya takes about 14 hours to charge from empty to full on a 240-volt Level 2 charger, according to its EPA test, and 10 to 14 hours across the 2026 trims. On a standard 120-volt outlet it takes about 69 hours. A full charge puts about 99.3 kWh through the plug for 289 miles of range.

Figures for the 2026 ARIYA FWD 87kWh. 20% to 80% is a typical daily top-up; 0% to 100% is a full charge from empty.
| Charger | Power | 20% to 80% | 0% to 100% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1, 120 V outlet (12 A) | 1.4 kW | 41 hr 23 min | 2.9 days |
| Level 2, 240 V, 16 A | 3.8 kW | 15 hr 31 min | 25 hr 52 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 24 A | 5.8 kW | 10 hr 21 min | 17 hr 14 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 32 A | 7.7 kW | 7 hr 45 min* | 12 hr 56 min* |
| Level 2, 240 V, 40 A | 9.6 kW | 6 hr 12 min* | 10 hr 21 min* |
| Level 2, 240 V, 48 A | 11.5 kW | 5 hr 10 min* | 8 hr 37 min* |
* Only if the car's onboard charger accepts that much power. On its EPA test it charged at about 7.1 kW; if that is its limit, a faster wall charger won't shorten the 14-hour full charge.

Cost to charge a Nissan Ariya
A full charge from empty draws about 99.3 kWh from the wall. At 18 cents per kWh it costs about $17.87, and a 20% to 80% top-up about $10.72. The EPA rates the ARIYA FWD 87kWh at 34.4 kWh per 100 miles, which works out to 6.2 cents a mile. The US average home rate was 18.16 cents per kWh in August 2026 (EIA); the EV charging cost calculator takes your own rate.
Nissan Ariya fast charging
DC fast charging bypasses the car's onboard charger and is far quicker, but the speed depends on each model's charging curve, which slows as the battery fills. That's why fast-charge times are quoted from 10% to 80%. The EPA doesn't test DC charging, so check Nissan's quoted figure for the Ariya. The EV charging curve guide explains why it slows.
