Nissan e-POWER
Driven by electric
Fuelled by petrol
So you'll never need to plug in
Nissan e-POWER delivers a smooth, quiet and responsive driving experience without the need to plug in to recharge.
e-POWER
e-Power uses a petrol engine to charge a battery and that alone drives an electric motor, powering the wheels. In addition to the petrol engine, e-POWER also uses regenerative braking to help keep the battery topped up.
How does it all work?
Fuelled by petrol, driven by electric
Discover a new driving experience without changing your habits. Keep using fuel but enjoy a responsive EV-like driving experience.
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 vehicle's wheels.
Regenerative braking
Unlocked through Nissan's e-Pedal Step (1), the regenerative braking system on e-POWER converts kinetic energy from deceleration into electrical energy, and feeds it back to the battery.
