The first car, which will install this system will be the Nissan Note compact MPV.
The e-POWER is classified as a hybrid propulsion system of the series type.
Charging the battery using a compact powertrain consisting of a gasoline engine, generator, inverter and electric motor. In a hybrid installation of a new type of gasoline engine is not connected to the wheels – it only recharges the battery, and, unlike electric vehicles, energy source is the internal combustion engine.
“E-POWER internal combustion engine operates infrequently, but the fuel efficiency is higher than traditional hybrid systems, especially when moving around the town.
e-POWER allows you to enjoy all the benefits of an electric car without worrying about the timeliness of charging of the battery”, – said the press service.
