Free upgrade to a 22kW three-phase onboard charger valued to $3,000 to the base Engage, mid-range Advance, Advance+ variants as part of the Launch Offer. It is standard on the top tier variant 4WD Evolve.
The 22kW Autel Maxicharger AC Wallbox offer does not include installation.
Plus 10 year 300,000 km warranty when servicing with Nissan.
Is there any other car which does app connectivity? I am not a big fan of that where someone else can hack to your car.
For an EV, the very least it should tell you battery % and charge progress without you going to the car back and forth.
You can always opt-out from the car broadcasting such information required to be used in an app.
BYD, Tesla, all the brands let you toggle off that setting.
Not having is a deal breaker for me.
App lets me pre-cool or pre-heat, track location (in the event of stolen vehicle) and unlock/lock without the need of a key fob.
Most cars have an app of some sort for convenience. The Cupra Born is also app free for now, but you’ll be waiting a while if you want a new one - they are paused until next model.
This or the faster RWD Sealion 7 for $1800 cheaper with ~100km more range?
I think you already answered your own question there 😅
Yes. I'm struggling to find why drivers would pick this Nissan
I would say the 10 year warranty of Nissan, brand recognision and resale is a good contender.
@JuryWheel: You only need to google Nissan Leaf and reliability and you will find out.
They refused to change their approach for years too, which is far more egregious than the initial bad design, knowing full well most were destined for the scrap heap.
@JuryWheel: Search nissan leaf here on OZB and you’ll see a deal for 34,990 drive away in Jan this year. Those things were going for 60k plus a few years earlier but they couldn’t sell them. Gives you an idea about how well this thing will hold its value.
Nissan do some excellent cars, the Patrol is a great car but I just don’t think they have track record with EV’s over a tesla or BYD. Plus, their financial situation is concerning.
Japanese car
10 year 300k km warranty
Higher resale value
Customer satisfaction
@freeb1e4me: can Nissan survive for 10 years is questionable

As much as I'm a Nissan fan, BYD makes the better EV. Not just in terms of the car but the foundational battery tech, they're way ahead of Nissan.
But its brilliant that Nissan has released a proper EV when most of their Japanese peers are still all out focused on bringing to market stupid hydrogen cars
I am quite facinated about Hydrogen cars if we can get cleaner Hydrogen with Oxygen as by product. Think of moving trees.
But agree that Toyota, Mazda and Nissan are falling behind on designs and tech for EVs.
Tbh, I think hydrogen is dead in the water, California was the first place to have stations and the fuel cartels were charging an arm and a leg for it.
It wasnt viable to buy the car without the government rebates on it and in the end, it wasnt cheaper to run
It seems clean for the last mile of the energy lifecycle, but to generate, store and transport the hydrogen in the first place is not a very efficient process.
Nissan use South Korean batteries which are more premium in quality than Chinese batteries, which are budget focused - google
Korean products are premium in nothing. If the Japanese want to be leaders in the future, they should'nt be encouraging any Korean involvement. Thats the mistake Sony made when they combined tv factories with Samsung. People buying cheap Samsung products actually thought they were getting Sony quality. Such a joke
@Fuzor: Korean EV batteries can be found in BMW and Audi, so definitely premium in quality. I’m not even going to entertain your irrelevant comment on TVs 🙂↔️
Byd has terrible aftersales service. We have an atto 3 and changing another car to an EV, BYD isn't up there because of that.
Hopefully it will change with EV direct getting the boot.
What brand EV you getting next?
At this point the talk about hydrogen feels like it only exists to delay any EV rollout. They'll carry on with hybrids until they're all dead. It's like nuclear in Australia would be for the coal/gas industry.
Exactly. Perfect smokescreen for those like Toyota with their heads in the sand.
They’ve also been peddling lies about super efficient petrol engines that don’t exist and probably never will.
I think the updated BZ4X (terrible name) is interesting. The current in-market model was DOA imo at the price and spec it came in at but it is good to see Toyota at least giving the model an update instead of just killing it off. Mazda and Honda both had their go at EVs (MX30/Honda E) which were DOA and to me felt like a really lazy attempts to say they have an EV in their lineup which the BZ4X kinda was as well but instead of improving on it and making it an actually usable EV, they just jumped off EVs almost completely.
Wish more cars did 22kw AC. Good on them.
Most houses have single phase, useful for some I guess
Well yeah, but there are plenty of three phase houses, and a three phase upgrade isn't that expensive. Plus most public AC chargers can do 22kw, and if more cars had 22kw onboard inverters, we could roll out many more "fast enough" charging points very cheaply.
I heard at least a couple thousand for 3 phase in SE QLD :(
Model YL if and when it arrives in Australia…
It's nice enough, but at $60k for the very sparse base model, this thing is so far out of its league. That base model needed to be under $50k and at least the Advance, if not Advance+ for this price. The batteries are decent size, but the efficiency is pretty bad, so you really need that bigger 87kWh.
This is like buying an iPhone 13 or Samsung S21 but priced at iPhone 17/ S25 level
Free… Pay $60,577+
Car is nice (went to test drive it yesterday) but sales guy confirmed no app connectivity, so no remote functionality whatsoever. Not good enough in 2025.
Otherwise it'd be on my shortlist. Guess I keep my deposit on the 7X AWD for now.
