For most people considering an EV, it usually comes down to two things: range, and how often you’ll need to charge.
Here’s what the All-New MICRA EV offers - and what that looks like day to day.
Two battery options, depending on how you drive
The All-New Nissan MICRA EV keeps things simple with two choices:
· 40kWh battery → up to 196 miles (WLTP)
· 52kWh battery → up to 257 miles (WLTP)
The difference isn’t just about numbers - it’s about how you use the car.
The 40kWh version is designed for everyday driving. The 52kWh version gives you more flexibility when your routine changes.
What that actually means
If most of your driving is local - commuting, school runs, short trips - even the smaller battery comfortably covers it.
The larger battery simply gives you more breathing space. Fewer charging stops, and more freedom to head out without planning around it.
That’s really what people are looking for when they talk about range anxiety - not maximum miles, but how often they need to think about charging.
A typical week with the All-New Nissan MICRA EV
For many drivers, daily mileage is lower than expected.
A 20–30 mile round-trip commute, plus a few extra errands during the week, might add up to around 120–150 miles.
That means:
· the 40kWh version could last most - if not all -of the week on a single charge
· the 52kWh version gives you even more flexibility, especially if plans change or you head further at the weekend
In practice, that’s not too different from how people already use a petrol car — topping up once a week, just in a slightly different way.
Charging: simple, whether you’re at home or out
Charging the All-New Nissan MICRA is designed to fit around your routine.
· At home (AC charging) → plug in overnight and start the day with a full battery
· Rapid charging (DC) → around 15–80% in about 30 minutes
In practice, that means:
· most charging happens at home
· longer journeys are easy to manage with a quick stop
The 52kWh version also supports faster charging speeds, which helps if you’re covering more distance.
Designed for everyday use
The MICRA EV doesn’t try to overcomplicate things.
It’s:
· compact enough for town driving
· efficient enough for daily use
· flexible enough for the occasional longer trip
Features like a heat pump and battery thermal management help keep things efficient in real UK conditions -especially in colder weather.
Which version is right for you?
· Mostly local driving → 40kWh keeps things simple
· A mix of short and longer journeys → 52kWh gives you more flexibility
Both are designed to feel easy — just with a different level of range.
