Nissan e-Power: the benefits of electricity without the drawbacks

In practice, Nissan e-Power is hybridization technology a bit special as it is a an electric motor that drives the wheels of a carwith all the advantages of an electric motor: driving is simple, smooth and quiet.
THE gasoline engine used for generate electricity : this is stored in the battery and then used to power an electric motor to drive the car’s wheels. Thus, there is no need to plug in a Nissan equipped with an e-Power engine to charge its battery, thus freeing users from the limitations associated with 100% electric vehicles.
Also, when the battery is sufficiently charged and when little power is required to operate, the heat engine can shut down so that only battery power powers the electric motor. In case of heavy loads, the heat engine restarts to generate electricity, which serves both to power the electric motor and to charge the battery. System energy recovery also allows energy regenerated while the vehicle is moving to be sent to the battery.

In addition to the 100,000 e-Power models sold in Europe, the technology is also sold in Australia and New Zealand (Qashqai and X-Trail) and Morocco (Qashqai). However, the Japanese manufacturer does not specify sales data in these markets.
