Typical public network pricing — varies by operator
Per mile, public DC fast charging costs roughly 3.5× more than charging at home. Most owners charge at home and only use fast charging on road trips, so your real average lands much closer to the home number.
Level 1 vs. Level 2: can your outlet keep up?
The cost per kWh is the same either way. What changes is how fast the Nissan Ariya recovers range while parked at home.
Level 1 · standard outlet
~3 mi/hour
120V · no installation needed
~13 hours to recover 40 miles of driving. Plugged in 6pm–6am, that’s about 36 miles overnight.
Level 2 · 240V circuit
~22 mi/hour
240V · typical 30A home circuit (7.2 kW)
~2 hours to recover 40 miles. Plugged in 6pm–6am, that’s up to 205 miles.
You probably don’t need a $2,000 wall charger — 59% of people don’t. The 41% who need an upgrade usually find out after they’ve bought the car. Better to know now.

If your daily driving stays under ~36 miles, a regular outlet may be all the Nissan Ariya needs. Drive more than that, and Level 2 — or a workplace charger — becomes the difference between an EV that fits your life and one that doesn’t.
Does a Level 2 install pay for itself?
A home Level 2 setup — 240V circuit plus charger — typically runs $800–$1,800 installed. If the alternative is relying on public fast chargers, home charging the Nissan Ariya in New Mexico saves about $119.67/month at 12,000 miles a year.
At a mid-range install cost of $1,300, that’s a payback of roughly 11 months — and every month after that is pure savings.
