Battery options & usable capacity
Nissan’s reviewed UK specification explicitly labels 63 and 87 kWh as usable capacity. This is a live UK listing rather than an archive for every model year. The presets deliberately do not assign a model year: confirm the installed pack against the car’s original documents.
| Reference configuration | Original usable capacity | Provenance |
|---|---|---|
| UK listing checked Sep 2026 — 63 kWh usable; confirm year | 63 kWh | Manufacturer · Source |
| UK listing checked Sep 2026 — 87 kWh usable; confirm year | 87 kWh | Manufacturer · Source |
Charging capability
The reviewed UK tables list a DC peak of 130 kW. They show 7.4 kW on-board AC for the displayed 63 kWh configurations and 22 kW for the displayed 87 kWh configurations. Confirm trim, optional equipment and original market before transferring those limits to an older car. Three-phase supply is relevant when planning 22 kW AC.
| Reference | AC limit | DC peak |
|---|---|---|
| UK listing checked Sep 2026 — 63 kWh usable; confirm year | 7.4 kW | 130 kW |
| UK listing checked Sep 2026 — 87 kWh usable; confirm year | 22 kW | 130 kW |
The 22 kW AC reference needs a compatible supply
The UK listing checked in September 2026 distinguishes the displayed 63 kWh usable configurations with 7.4 kW AC from the displayed 87 kWh configurations with 22 kW AC. The reference intentionally has no model year: an older or imported Ariya needs its original equipment record. Do not assume the current listing proves what is fitted to a used car.
With an actually available 7.4 kW home supply, the larger AC rating alone cannot make charging run at 22 kW. The 87 kWh reference needs 52.2 kWh stored for a 20–80% window. At a chosen 10% loss, that is about 7 hours 51 minutes at 7.4 kW versus 2 hours 39 minutes at a genuinely compatible 22 kW. These are constant-power scenarios, not observed sessions.
Separate a bigger battery from a faster journey
At illustrative consumption of 20 kWh/100 km, an 80–10% window gives about 221 km from 63 usable kWh and 305 km from 87. Both displayed UK references have the same 130 kW DC peak, but that does not establish equal charging curves or equal time to add a percentage of the battery.
Compare how much energy the next leg needs and which chargers are available, instead of automatically planning the same 20–80% stop for both cars. Ask Nissan to confirm the fitted charging equipment and warranty for the actual vehicle. The listing provides specification context; it cannot establish current battery health or remaining coverage.
Plan a journey with this battery reference
| Exact reference | At 18 kWh/100 km | At 22 kWh/100 km |
|---|---|---|
| UK listing checked Sep 2026 — 63 kWh usable; confirm year | 245 km / 152 miles | 200 km / 125 miles |
| UK listing checked Sep 2026 — 87 kWh usable; confirm year | 338 km / 210 miles | 277 km / 172 miles |
Calculation: usable kWh × 0.70 ÷ kWh/100 km × 100. A used battery may have less usable energy; these scenarios do not establish its condition.

Battery warranty
This specification page does not establish remaining warranty. Obtain the original terms, start date and mileage limit from Nissan for the actual vehicle.
Things worth checking before purchase
- Match the 63 or 87 kWh pack and 2WD or e-4ORCE configuration to the documents.
- Check the on-board AC charger instead of relying on a wallbox rating or charging-time example.
- Verify CCS compatibility and local network access if the car was imported.
- Ask for a diagnostic report, pack-repair history and a charging demonstration with temperature and SoC recorded.
Turn the evidence into a useful estimate
Use a documented usable capacity and consumption from conditions matching your trip. Keep original specifications separate from the seller’s current battery-health evidence.
