    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

    Great Car almost got one.

    AP jumpted at the wrong  time and the Megan E Tecs AP reduced at the right time

    Fate

    Like you I think we both have great cars

    Advert or no advert thats remains a fact
