Two of the most commonly used terms in the EV charging realm are EVSE and EVCS. EVCS, or Electric Vehicle Charging Station, is a more holistic term. It encompasses not just the physical hardware (like the EVSE) but also the location, services, and infrastructure where electric vehicles can be charged. What is EVSE?
And with a pice tag of $52,500 plus on-road costs it’s towards the lower end of the EV market, only slightly more than the GWM Ora and BYD Atto 3. It also doesn’t go particularly far on a charge, reinforcing its city friendliness. The 42kWh will take about 20 hours to charge from a home powerpoint.
Some think Nissan is taking a gamble by rapidly moving into mass marketing of EVs, comparing the company’s approach to Toyota and Honda’s approach of “wait and see how the market materializes for EVs, then jump in.&# The gamble is that Nissan could grab the EV market and dominate it until BYD (China) enters the U.S.,
