Nissan Interstar Overvoltage
Summary of the thread
A 2022 Nissan Interstar electric vehicle exhibited overvoltage symptoms, including fault memory entries, system failures, and a weak battery during start-up. The potential causes considered were a faulty voltage regulator or a battery issue. After testing and consultation, it was determined that the problem stemmed from a heavily discharged and defective battery, which was resolved by replacing the battery at a certified workshop.

Thanks for the prompt response. I've tested the battery voltage, and it seems to be within the normal range when the vehicle is off. However, I haven't tested it while the engine is running. How would I proceed with this test on an electric vehicle, and what values should I be looking for to identify a potential issue?

Okay, testing the voltage while 'running' on an electric vehicle is different than a combustion engine. Given the complexity and the range of system failures you're experiencing alongside overvoltage errors, and especially since you've already noticed a weak starting battery, it honestly sounds like you could have a battery issue or a larger electrical problem. I strongly suggest taking it to a qualified workshop; they can properly diagnose the system and prevent further damage!

Thanks for the advice. Based on your recommendation, I took the vehicle to a certified Nissan workshop. The diagnosis confirmed a heavily discharged and defective battery, which was causing the overvoltage errors. The repair, including a new battery and associated labor, amounted to 290€. Your insights were very helpful in guiding me towards the appropriate solution.

Wow, that sounds like a real headache! Overvoltage issues can be tricky. Have you checked the battery's voltage when the car is off and while it's running? Also, any chance you experienced a power surge recently, maybe during charging? Alternator failure is less likely on an electric vehicle, but still worth considering. Let me know what you find!
