Nissan accepts electricity as parking payment for exhibition visitors

Nissan is giving its electric vehicle drivers the ability to pay for parking with electricity when visiting the Nissan Pavilion exhibition space in Yokohama.

They will be able to discharge power from their car’s battery pack to pay for parking during their visit.

The Pavilion was built to show how "Nissan moves people to a better world". The 10,000-square-meter, zero-emission Pavilion is outfitted with solar panels and supplied with renewable hydroelectric power. The Chaya Cafe is operated on power supplied by Nissan LEAF electric cars and solar energy.

Visitors can also have virtual experiences, such as Formula E electric street racing or go for a ride in the all-new Nissan Ariya EV crossover.
Guests at the Pavilion can also experience other innovations besides Nissan Energy technologies. These include the ProPILOT advanced driver assistance system as well as Nissan’s Invisible-to-Visible (I2V) technology, which combines information from the real and virtual worlds to assist drivers.

In front of the Pavilion, the Mobility Hub offers a variety of services, including EV car-sharing and rental bicycles. Offered by Nissan and the local community, these services aim to provide increased freedom of mobility.

The Nissan Pavilion, located near the company’s global headquarters in Yokohama, will be open to the public from Aug. 1 through Oct. 23. Take a virtual tour here
