They do, but no one wants to go to one of the few Nissan dealers in their area to charge their car in the event they need it. Not to mention, many dealers only have 1-2 chargers total, which is not sustainable for the number of cars that are (or will be) sold.

Plus, what about the Bolt, Volt, i3, Soul EV, or any number of other EVs? They wouldn't be comfortable or possibly even welcome at a Nissan dealership to charge.

Only teslas can charge on the supercharger network afaik. And, Nissan dealers will let other manufacturers car's charge if you pay, ymmv but it happens.

Listen, I'm not defending Nissan's setup, I'm just countering the point that there's only the supercharger network.

Some dealers will let any car charge. Some will only accept Nissans. Some will only accept Nissans they sold. It’s a crapshoot.

Where I live we have 2 Nissan dealers and zero Supercharging stations.
