    I am an ePower driver, and I love it!

    If the advert is misleading then ,of  course, it should be pulled!

    Four yes just four people complained to the Advertising Standards Authority – were they Ford employees I wonder ??

    The Qashqai has topped the  sales charts every year since 2007-16 years & counting?

    Last year, it was the most popular new car in the UK and to the end of September this year,it is second to Ford’s Puma, which has only 5,000 more registrations.

     

    The ePower is driven 100% of the time by an electric motor,  via a battery,  just like a recognised EV!

     

    It does not share the drive with an  IC  engine, whereas a Hybrid usually does.

    The difference between a recognised EV  and  the ePower is that the battery is charged by a 3 cylinder on board petrol engine, rather than by mains electricity

    This engine will clearly push out more pollution than mains electricity !

    My mate doesn’t have mains electricity in his holiday cottage in Wales, and uses a Honda generator, but plugs his ID3 into a normal 3 pin point to help charge the battery overnight – How much pollution there
