If you drive a Nissan Ariya, or you're thinking about joining the EV crowd, your biggest question is probably: Where do I charge, and how easy is it to keep my vehicle powered up? At Loughead Nissan in Swarthmore, PA, we’ve got good news. Nissan has just made EV charging simpler, smarter, and more convenient than ever before. With the release of a Nissan-approved North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapter kit, Ariya drivers can now access more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers across the country. That’s in addition to public charging stations already available through the NISSAN ENERGY Charge Network. Whether you’re commuting around Swarthmore and Springfield, heading into Philly, or taking a weekend trip through the Delaware Valley, you’ve now got charging options everywhere. The adapter itself is easy to use. It connects your Ariya’s CCS1 charging system to Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) fast chargers, no mechanical wizardry required. The adapter kit is priced at $235 and can be ordered through Loughead Nissan or online at NissanUSA.com. And once you’ve got it, the MyNISSAN app helps you find compatible chargers in real-time, right from your phone. With all this expanded access, Nissan is taking the guesswork out of EV ownership. That means less time worrying about charging and more time actually enjoying the drive. The Ariya is compatible with Tesla’s V3 and V4 Superchargers, and the adapter doesn’t slow anything down, you’ll get the same fast charging performance you expect. Looking ahead, Nissan has even bigger plans. Starting this year, new Nissan EVs will come equipped with built-in NACS ports, so no adapter will be needed to access Tesla Superchargers. The future of charging in Pennsylvania, and everywhere else, is looking a lot more connected. As more drivers in Swarthmore and across Delaware County make the switch to electric, access to reliable, convenient charging is becoming more important than ever. Nissan’s move to support the NACS standard is a major step toward unifying the charging experience for EV owners everywhere. And with trusted local dealerships like Loughead Nissan here to support you before and after the sale, you’ll never feel like you're figuring it out alone. Whether you're planning your first EV purchase or you're already an Ariya driver, we’re here to help you stay charged, informed, and ready for the road ahead. Here at Loughead Nissan, we’re committed to making the EV experience smooth and stress-free. If you have questions about ordering your adapter, using the MyNISSAN app, or understanding where to charge around Delaware County or greater Philadelphia, just stop by or give us a call. We’ll walk you through every step, no jargon, no pressure. At the end of the day, driving an EV like the Nissan Ariya should feel like progress.

Nissan is no different, and we’re very excited to share with you some of the news about the 2019 Altima, which is a fantastic redesign and evolution of the Altima we all know and love. Let’s take a look! First of all, we’ll discuss changes under the hood. While your Altima might have a V6 under the hood, the 2019 Altima features a turbocharged inline-four that puts out a serious amount of power. Another first-time is the availability of all-wheel drive, which isn’t something Nissan has ever offered on the Altima or the Maxima. The suspension has also been redesigned and the power steering is more sensitive and adaptive than ever. Inside, the color palette has been switched up and the styling is totally new. An airier cabin, thinner instrument panel, and lots of horizontal lines. In terms of tech, the 2019 Altima has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard, and Siri Eyes Free and Google Assistant are both available as well. ProPilot Assist is part of the package, and Nissan’s amazing suite of safety features are all there to make sure you stay safe and sound behind the wheel. This is not a sedan you’ve ever seen before - so keep your eyes peeled for more news coming out! We’ll let you know when the 2019 Nissan Altima is on our floor so you can stop in for a test drive and experience this vehicle for yourself. 2018 Altimas Are Here!
