This guide uses approximate data. Charging speeds, prices, and compatibility depend on your specific vehicle variant, station hardware, and conditions. EVcourse is not affiliated with Nissan or Allego. Always check your vehicle manual and the charger screen.
Quick Overview
Step by Step
Find a Allego station
Open the Allego app or use a charging map like PlugShare to find a nearby station. Before you drive there, check that the station has an available CCS2 connector and is currently working.
Start your session
Tap your bank card or phone on the charger's contactless reader to start. You can also use app or RFID.
Plug in the CCS2 connector
Take the CCS2 cable from the charger and connect it to your Nissan Ariya's charging port. You should hear a click when the connector locks in. Your car's display will confirm the connection.
Charging starts
Once connected, your Nissan Ariya can pull up to 130 kW. On Allego chargers (up to 350 kW), your effective maximum is 130 kW. You will see the current power and estimated time on either the charger screen or your car's display.
Charging speed is fastest when your battery is between 10% and 50%. It gradually slows as the battery fills up. This is normal and protects battery health.
When to unplug
For the fastest experience, unplug at 80%. Charging from 80% to 100% takes almost as long as 10% to 80% on most EVs, including the Nissan Ariya. On a road trip, stopping at 80% and driving to the next charger is usually faster than waiting for 100%.
Charging Speed on Allego
Your Nissan Ariya peaks at 130 kW DC. It uses a 400V architecture. Allego chargers go up to 350 kW, but your car's onboard limit caps you at 130 kW.
Charging from 10% to 80% takes about 48 minutes under good conditions.
Actual speed depends on several factors: battery temperature (cold batteries charge slower), your current state of charge (charging slows above 50-60%), and how many other cars are sharing the same station. If other cars are plugged in at the same location, the charger may split power between them.

Tips for Charging Nissan Ariya on Allego
- Use battery preconditioning before arriving at the charger. On the Nissan Ariya, set your navigation to the Allego station and the car will warm the battery automatically for faster charging speeds.
- Charge to 80% for the fastest experience. Charging slows significantly above 80%, so stopping at 80% saves you the most time on road trips.
- Allego pricing is on the higher side at around 0.69 EUR/kWh. Check if a subscription or roaming card gives you a better rate.
