The e-Power is a hybrid system in-house developed by Nissan, while featuring a 100% electric motor-driven system that provides responsive acceleration, smooth deceleration and cabin quietness similar to an EV. In conventional hybrid systems, the wheels are driven by an electric motor and a gasoline engine. However, in the e-POWER system, the gasoline engine is not connected to the wheels; it simply charges the battery.
