Hi everybody,

I have a 63 advantage on order, which has just been put back to April 2023. I ordered at the then cost of £41500 in UK.

I decided to pay for the upgrade to charge speed (7kW to 22kW).

However, the dealer thinks I may have to cancel the order and place a new order at the new price of about £46000, plus £900 for the extra charging speed upgrade!

Anybody any experience of this, is it a feature that can be turned on at a cost after delivery?

No, it has to be fitted at the factory, can't be fitted afterwards.

Why do you even want 22kW charge capability? Virtually no-one has 3 phase at home though a few chargers at workplaces can offer it. When will you ever not use either 7kW at home or DC fast charge on the road?

Hi Milkfloat,
You are quite right. However, things are, or were, a bit more complicated for me. we have moved to a modern block of 25 flats with an underground car park. after 2 years research we were awarded the Govt. 'Apartment Infrastructure Grant'. We had installers all set up to do their thing (Easee Charge with load balancing etc.). Once this was planned I went ahead and ordered our Ariya, and of course would not need the 22kW upgrade as we would be wall box charging. Then the Freeholder suddenly removed permission to install. Yes, they do have that power and I suspect it was because they could not make any monetary charges to us. This problem will be the same for nearly all 5 million people who live in flats!
Our local Tesco has just installed 22kW chargers which are free to use. I was hoping to charge there until the ZipCharge GO is released.
Nissan have just confirmed that it cannot be upgraded after delivery so I'm stuck with the 7kW charging for the next ten years.
Thanks for reply anyway.

I ordered my Ariya Advance in Aurora Green on August 23rd 2022. Was given a delivery date of 9 months. This has now gone out to 12 months with the dealership informing me they had not been given a reason for the increase. Delivery on the Internet has just changed from 5 - 7 months to about 6 months. Despite all the shortages etc, the market strategy of Nissan leaves a lot to be desired between the manufacturer, dealership and the customer.

Mine is arriving between the 23rd January and 3rd February, I ordered the 30th June 2022.

We ordered at the beginning of November and was told April for delivery.

I take that with a pinch of salt and would be surprised if it arrives before August given what ive read.

For the first time since Covid, lead time for cars is falling. Demand is softening across the board but PCP contracts are being struck particularly hard by the increased charges. Many Ariyas are ordered through PCP.
