Nissan Canada Introduces Domestic Electric Vehicle Charger Initiative in Collaboration with Wallbox and RocketEV
Nissan Canada has teamed up with Wallbox and RocketEV Charging Solutions to offer a new home charging program for electric vehicle (EV) owners in Canada. This program aims to simplify EV ownership by providing tailored home charger options for Nissan EV customers.
Booking the Wallbox Pulsar Plus Charger
Customers can book installation services for the Wallbox Pulsar Plus charger through participating dealerships or the Nissan Canada website. This Level 2 home charger, designed for residential settings, includes smart features that allow users to monitor and schedule charging sessions. The cost of the Wallbox Pulsar Plus charger is C$925.
Ford's Power Promise Program
In contrast, Ford's Power Promise program offers qualifying customers who purchase or lease select 2024 or 2025 Ford electric vehicles, such as the F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, or E-Transit, a complimentary home charger with free standard installation through Qmerit's professional network. Alternatively, customers can opt for a cash incentive of $500 in the U.S. or up to $2,000 in Canada outside Quebec. This program runs through at least September 30, 2025.
Key Comparison Points
Here's a comparison of the key features of both programs:

A Growing Trend
The Nissan Canada home charging program is part of a growing trend among automakers to integrate home charging into the EV purchase process. This move aims to remove barriers related to home charging setup and make EV ownership more accessible for consumers.
Whether you're a new or existing owner of the Nissan LEAF or ARIYA, you can now benefit from this program. With the Wallbox Pulsar Plus charger supporting faster charging compared to standard 120V outlets, and Ford offering its EV owners a free Level 2 charger and installation through the Ford Power Promise Program, the future of EV home charging looks promising.
