Port Penn is one of Delaware’s hidden gems—a historic riverside village along the Delaware River with views of wide-open marshland and endless skies. The drive here is quiet, peaceful, and often filled with nature that begs for a slow roll-down of the window.
Driving an electric vehicle (EV) here enhances everything. You can glide along the scenic roads in near silence, which makes the surroundings feel even more serene. At Sheridan Nissan, we house an innovative EV lineup so you can experience this firsthand and in total comfort.
The Nissan Ariya is our most advanced electric SUV. It’s easy to settle into, especially with the available heated front seats, which are handy during cold Delaware mornings. The Ariya has a modern interior and a comfortable ride that makes errands feel more relaxed. Whether heading to the grocery store or driving to Augustine Beach, it keeps things quiet and steady.
For something more compact, the Nissan Leaf is worth a look. It’s fully electric, affordable, and great for local driving. The available Nissan Door to Door Navigation with Premium Traffic helps you avoid backups—like when Route 9 floods or slows down during busy weekends. You can start it remotely, check your battery level from your phone, and feel confident knowing it's one of the most proven EVs on the market.
Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Charging are three basic ways to charge your EV. Let’s break it down. If you plug into a regular wall outlet at home (Level 1), you’ll get about 4-5 miles of range per hour. Not fast—but fine if you only drive a few miles each day.
Level 2 charging is faster. This is what most EV owners install at home. It adds about 25 miles of range per hour. That means you can fully recharge your battery overnight. It’s a simple setup, and we can help you determine what works best in your garage or driveway.
Need a quick boost? DC Fast Chargers are available at public charging stations. You’ll find some near Middletown and New Castle. These can charge up to 80% in about 30–45 minutes. Perfect for when you're out running errands and want to grab lunch while your car gets ready for the next leg of the trip.
Start your Saturday morning with a stop at Silver Lake Park in Middletown. Pack your Ariya with a couple of foldable chairs and snacks. The quiet cabin and smooth ride make it easy to enjoy the drive—even if your kids are in the back.
Afterward, cruise down to Woodland Beach Wildlife Area. It’s not far, and the roads are peaceful. End your day with dinner at The Everett Theatre District area in Middletown. Plenty of local food spots to choose from, and if you’ve got the NissanConnect® EV app, you can check your charge level right from your phone while you eat. (It’s one less thing to think about.)
Electric vehicles (EV) fit right into life around Port Penn. They’re low-maintenance, easy to charge, and quiet on the road.
