The beauty of the e Power system with NIssan is that you get an authentic EV driving experience ie quick 0-62 in under 8 seconds, the immediate response tends to make it seem to be even quicker, quiet, no gears , and the car is driven via an electric motor, that is powered by a battery just like any other Electric vehicle , but rather than plug it in, it is charged by a smallish petrol engine , which is not connected to the car’s drive’ .
The battery is smaller than others, but for short urban journeys running at 20-30 mph In traffic, tends to be adequate, running mainly on battery, with the engine cutting in occasionally to top up the battery.
So no plug in and petrol only to charge the battery, and over 50 mpg.
It is a good alternative to PHEV, mhev , Vehicles .
