100% Electric Motor Driven.
No Plug-in Charging.
e-POWER Technology
A Unique
Combination
Nissan e-POWER system combines a petrol engine and electric motor in a revolutionary way. The engine acts as a generator to produce electricity which power the electric motor to drive the wheels. This delivers the instant acceleration and quiet comfort of an EV, with the convenience of refuelling at any petrol station. Constantly refined through research and innovation, e-POWER delivers powerful, smooth, and economical driving every day.
How it Works
How e-POWER Works?
Explore the breakthrough technology that combines the best of electric and petrol power for everyday driving.
Fuelled By Petrol,
Driven By Electric
This innovative technology converts petrol into electricity to power the motor, giving you quiet, responsive acceleration all without the need to charge.
Designed for flexibility, it delivers smooth EV-like driving performance in any driving condition.
Recharges
On The Go
The e-POWER system automatically monitors your battery level, speed, and acceleration. When the battery runs low, the engine activates to generate electricity. During high-demand situations, power is also sent directly from the engine to the motor, ensuring smooth and responsive acceleration at all times.
Regenerative
Braking
With e-POWER, energy from braking doesn’t go to waste. The system captures kinetic energy during deceleration and converts it into electricity, storing it in the battery for later use. So every brake helps power your next drive.

Benefits
Feel The
Difference
Enjoy every drive with enhanced fuel efficiency. Instant acceleration and a quieter ride, Nissan e-POWER makes driving smooth and more rewarding every day without the need to plug-in.
Immediate Power at Your Command
e-POWER delivers immediate torque the moment you press the accelerator pedal, its electric motor ensures smooth, consistent acceleration, providing a refined and responsive driving experience.
Experience instant torque delivered directly from the motor the moment you step on the pedal. It ensures immediate responsive with no lag, providing smooth, effortless acceleration that feels naturally responsive.
The driving modes allow the driver to adjust the electric motor’s response to suit different needs, balancing performance and efficiency as desired.
Nissan e-POWER uses a next-generation combustion engine designed to work smarter, not harder. Instead of driving the wheels, the engine runs in its most efficient range to generate electricity for the electric motor. This means you enjoy powerful, seamless acceleration and great fuel savings—just like driving an EV, but with the convenience of a petrol engine.
Serenity with Every Drive
Powered 100% by an electric motor, e-POWER vehicle delivers an exceptionally quiet cabin experience.
Quiet Cabin, Calmer Journeys
Experience the tranquillity of a drive that silences the outside world. Its second generation system features the world’s first noise control technology to actively hide engine sound from road noise. Powered entirely by an electric motor, it delivers instant power without vibration or noise, ensuring every ride feels effortless and serene.
Effortless Control with e-Pedal Step
The e-Pedal Step lets you accelerate and decelerate smoothly using just the accelerator, reducing the need to switch pedals and making every drive more comfortable and less tiring
Reduces Fatigue Caused By Changing Pedals
The e-Pedal STEP allows you to accelerate and decelerate using just one pedal, which greatly reduces the number of times you have to change between the brake pedal and accelerator pedal, reducing fatigue when driving.
Effficiency that goes the extra mile
Longer Journeys with Improved Fuel Efficiency
e-POWER doesn’t drive the wheels directly; it simply generate electricity to charge the battery that powers the electric motor. This unique system ensures optimal energy use at every moment, delivering smooth, responsive acceleration with impressive fuel efficiency. Just refill and keep going. Efficiency has never felt this effortless.
Frequently Asked Questions
In a 100% electric vehicle, the motor driving the wheels is only provided power by a large lithium-ion battery, which you have to plug-in to charge. With a fully electric vehicle you experience zero emissions while driving.
For quicker recharging, e-POWER uses a smaller lithium-ion battery compared to a standard Nissan electric vehicle.
