Editing Nissan shuts 2G car service in UK (section)

==App support==
The shutdown affects approximately '''3,000 Nissan Leaf and e-NV200 vehicles''' manufactured before 2016. These early models rely on the 2G network for connectivity. While around half of these vehicles are active users of the app, they will lose remote functionality after the shutdown. However, key features such as the '''Climate Control Timer''' and '''Charging Timer''' will remain accessible directly through the car's navigation system.<ref name=":0" />

===Nissan's response===
Nissan stated to the BBC:<blockquote>The NissanConnect EV app currently linked to Nissan Leaf and e-NV200 vehicles produced up until 2016 will shut down from 1 April 2024 in preparation for the 2G technology sunset. Owners will, however, still be able to use key features such as Climate Control Timer and Charging Timer directly from their car's Navigation System.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Rahman-Jones |first=Imran |last2=Kleinman |first2=Zoe |date=4 Mar 2024 |title=Nissan accused of dumping its electric car pioneers |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-68426263 |access-date=1 Mar 2025 |website=BBC News}}</ref></blockquote>
