Nissan Ariya 87kWh Evolve FAQs

Does the Nissan Ariya 87kWh Evolve support 22kW AC charging?

Yes. The 87kWh Ariya can accept up to 22kW AC via its Type 2 port, which requires a three-phase 22kW charger. On a standard 7.4kW home wallbox, a full charge takes around 12.9 hours. The 63kWh model is limited to 7.4kW AC only.

How does the Ariya 87kWh compare with the Kia EV6 Long Range for rapid charging?

The EV6 Long Range accepts up to 233kW DC on its 800V architecture, charging from 10 to 80% in 18 minutes. The Ariya peaks at 130kW DC, taking around 45 minutes for the same charge window — a meaningful difference on long journeys.

Is the Ariya 87kWh Evolve eligible for company car tax relief?

Yes. As a battery electric vehicle it qualifies for the 4% BIK rate in 2026/27. At £52,895 list price the monthly BIK saving over a petrol SUV is substantial for higher-rate taxpayers.

Does the Ariya 87kWh have a heat pump?

Yes, a heat pump is standard on the Ariya. It improves cold-weather range by extracting heat from the ambient air rather than drawing purely from the battery, which is particularly useful in British winters.
