@ajn I see alot round here with both Qashqai E Power & A Trail E Power and E 4orce (awd) Those of whom I know to talk to easily get over 50mpg locally. A guy I drink with often has a X Trail E 4orce and gets low to mid 40’s without the caravan in tow and prefers it to the Sportage hybrid he had previous. Nissan have improved economy further on the facelift version. Can’t find the thread, but @mike-700 has the Qashqai E-Power for around 2yrs and I have copied and pasted a comment from him I found in the search area. ” 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” Hopefully Mike will pop in later
cheers
Mainly Copied from some of my previous Posts on the ePower
I have a 2 and a half year old Nissan Qashqai ePower, which has now done some 27,000 miles.
It is a 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 certainly suffers from exactly the same problems as other EV’s especially with range due to weather conditions, amongst other things!
As an example, i normally get and indeed have been getting all this summer, around 55-56 mpg locally, which is a hell of a sight better than most ICE cars during stop start local motoring., 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!
Everyone who travels in the ePower enjoys the experience- I have genuinely’ not had any negative comments, other than the very first time I had a non family member passenger, who ‘s overall comment on the car was favourable, but he did say something like’ well, it’s not a Tesla’! To which my reply was ‘ no it isn’t,but it is half the price your son paid for his Tesla!
