As per the title. Has Nissan added the ability to charge to a certain percentage yet?
Any word on the Ariyas ability to do it?
Thanks.

Not that different, unless you're obsessing about small differences in percent charged. Do I care if I land at 78% or 81? No, not really.
As long as regen is unavailable at 100% SOC, it will be useful to be able to set a lower target charge level. Either because you live at the top of a hill, or because you prefer that the car's braking behavior not differ at the beginning of your trip.OrientExpress said:Not that I have seen.

Yah true. We got pretty good at the timer with our leaf. Not a deal breaker. Nice to have though. Wonder what Nissan doesn’t like about it.

I think that is correct, my Model 3 lets me set from (I think) 60% - 100% in one percent increments. I particularly appreciate the phone integration before trips: I charge to 85 - 90% the evening before and then bump up to ~ 100% an hour before we depart.cwerdna said:Tesla's had a limiter for ages, since at least Model S.
Because the other companies knew their cars would catch on fire so they could tell the owners to set it to 80%. LolWetEV said:OrientExpress said:Not that I have seen. That sort of charging strategy hasn't been around for many years.
About every other EV has such a capability. From Audi to Volvo.
Why not just Nissan?

Owners have wanted more top end charging rate. The trade off is that if they open up the charge rate to 90% (vs. 80%) they don't want users to constantly go to 100%.

Back when I had my 2013, I never used the 80% option, mainly because 100% was not really 100%. Nissan doesn't allow you to charge 100% rated capacity anyway. Even now, my 2020 can only charge to 93% or rated battery capacity (even though the dash says 100%, LeafSpy shows the real value) It might be a moot point for Nissan EV drivers anyway to have a charge option like that.
