Bought a 2023 Nissan Ariya Evolve Plus (car was first registered in Feb 2024 but is a 2023 Model) for the wife. Last November, I crashed her BMW i3 and immediately bought her a low mileage 2019 Kia Niro EV. However, she found the Niro to be too low to the ground for an SUV, so I went EV shopping again for a bigger electric SUV. She liked the Ariya, so I got her an Ariya. Drove it home 120 miles from the dealership and the car rides super smooth. I like the interior and exterior a lot..
So, at the moment we own 3 EV's.. My 2022 Tesla Model X Plaid, the wife's 2023 Nissan Ariya Evolve Plus and the 2019 KIA Niro EV with 50k miles that we are trying to sell. Only area of complaint is the software. There is no way to set a charge limit other than setting a charge timer. Nissan did not add any feature to set a charge limit, so, unless you limit your charge time or disconnect at a specific %, you can't have the car stop charging at a particular charge level.
Here are pics of the Ariya..

Well, I had a different type of accident earlier that day.. Fell 8 foot from a ladder on my back (luckily into grass) and was still sore from the fall and had a stinging pain while driving the wife's I3 which distracted me and I crashed into the car which was trying to make a left turn. Buyer already fixed the car and now needs BMW to reset the computer to clear the codes. Pyro fuse was already fixed. Looks like it was only body damage with no other components damaged. Air bags went off.

PErhaps there is a difference with the 2020 vs the 2019, but I set my charge percentage on the dash.
YEs the software is bizarrely bad.
If you pay for the app you can do it there also.

Are you talking about an Ariya? They didn't make any in 2019 and 2020. The NIRO has a feature to set a charge limit. The Ariya does not.
