The tutorial video for Ariya owners introduces an unusual step: inserting a plastic piece into the CCS port before using the Tesla NACS adapter, a requirement unique to Nissan.
While many EV manufacturers are adopting Tesla's NACS standard, Nissan's unique requirement for their Ariya to insert a plastic plug has drawn attention and confusion among early adopters.
Nissan explains the design choices, stating that the void in the Ariya's CCS port is due to manufacturing variances, yet it complicates the adapter usage experience.
The Ariya's charge port design, which includes negative space not found in other EVs, necessitates the use of Nissan's provided adapter to function correctly with NACS.
