What is e-Power?

Nissan e-POWER's primary component is an electric motor. This motor is responsible for driving the vehicle's wheels and propelling it forward. However, unlike traditional electric vehicles (EVs) that rely solely on batteries for power, e-POWER introduces a small petrol engine into the mix.

The petrol engine in e-POWER doesn't directly drive the wheels. Instead, it serves as a generator. Its sole purpose is to generate electricity to recharge the car's battery pack while driving. This means that e-POWER vehicles are essentially electric cars with an onboard generator, much like the concept of a self-charging hybrid.

The advantage of this setup is that it eliminates the range anxiety often associated with fully electric vehicles. Since e-POWER cars can generate electricity as you drive, there's no need to stop and charge them. You simply fill up with petrol, and the vehicle takes care of the rest, seamlessly switching between electric and petrol power as needed.

The Benefits of e-Power

• Reduced Emissions: One of the most significant benefits of e-POWER is its contribution to reducing emissions. By primarily relying on electricity for propulsion, it produces lower emissions compared to conventional ICE powered vehicles.
• Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: The self-charging nature of e-POWER provides excellent fuel efficiency.
• Eliminates Range Anxiety: Unlike fully-electric vehicles that may have limited driving ranges and require frequent charging stops, e-POWER eliminates range anxiety.
• Smooth and Quiet Ride: Electric motors are known for their silent and smooth operation. With e-POWER, you'll experience a quiet and bump-free ride when driving in electric mode, enhancing overall comfort and reducing noise pollution
