Nissan E-Power

E-POWER, a unique combinations 

A technology unique to Nissan, e-POWER uses a petrol engine to charge a battery and that alone drives an electric motor, powering the wheels. It responds similarly to an electric car, providing instant torque and also has lower tailpipe emissions and running costs compared to a traditional combustion engine, but without the need to plug it in. In addition to the petrol engine, e-POWER also uses regenerative braking to help keep the battery topped up. 

Fuelled by petrol, driven by electric 

Discover a new driving experience without changing your habits. Keep using fuel but enjoy the driving sensations of electric mobility as soon you press the accelerator. 

Recharges on the go 

You don't need to plug-in an e-POWER vehicle. The petrol engine produces energy that charges the battery when the vehicle needs it. The petrol engine produces energy that can either be directly supplied to the electric motor or to recharge the battery. The electric motor alone drives the vehicles wheels giving an electric feeling drive at all times. 

Recycles energy from braking

The friction caused by braking produces energy, and e-POWER doesn't let all energy usually lost through braking, go to waste. The regenerative braking system on e-POWER converts kinetic energy from deceleration into electrical energy, and feeds it back to the battery, improving the fuel-efficiency.
