I have a 2 year old Nissan Qashqai ePower, which is 100% electric drive, just like any other EV, but the battery is not charged by a plug in method, rather it is charged by an on board petrol ICE, which unlike most ‘hybrids’ is not connected to the ‘drive’ system, only to the battery!
Being a fully electric driven vehicle it suffers from the same problems as other EV’s especially with range due to weather conditions, amongst other things!
As an example, i normally get around 55-56 mpg , but during the winter period ,using heating, de- misting, wipers, headlights etc this drops down to about 40-42 mpg and even less if driving on a motorway at high speed ( compared to town driving ) in bad Weather!
The one advantage of the ePower, which was absolutely ‘ clear’ when I had a ‘leaf’ courtesy car, when the ePower was in for it’s annual service was ‘ no worries over range, and finding charging facilities, I just top up the ePower with unleaded and off I go
