Many buyers ask how Nissan's e-Power differs from a familiar Toyota hybrid system. The difference lies entirely in how the power reaches the ground.
In a traditional parallel hybrid, the engine can drive the wheels directly alongside the electric motor.
Nissan's e-Power system is a series hybrid. The engine never physically drives the wheels; its only job is to charge the battery and to power the electric motor, which then drives the wheels.
The result is a different hybrid driving experience, with the wheels always driven by an electric motor while the engine provides the electricity needed to keep the system running.
Which hybrid driving feel do you prefer?
