Nissan Electrified Range – Why choose electric or e-POWER

Nissan offers a range of electrified vehicles from 100% electric cars to its e-POWER electrified hybrid technology. Each choice delivers electric-drive benefits but fits different needs and lifestyles.

100 % Electric Vehicles (EVs)

What it is:

100% electric vehicles run purely on battery power and are charged by plugging into a home charger or public charging point.

Why choose EV?

• Zero tailpipe emissions — best for environmental goals and reducing your carbon footprint long-term.
• Silent, smooth acceleration — instant torque and quiet operation make EVs very pleasant to drive.
• Lower running costs — electricity is often cheaper than petrol, and EVs have fewer moving parts than combustion engines.

Considerations:

Charging infrastructure — you need to plan for charging, especially on long trips.

Home charging — many owners install a charger at home for convenience.

This is ideal if you want the full electric experience and plan to largely charge at home or in public.

Nissan e-POWER – Electric feel with petrol convenience

What it is:

The e-POWER system uses a petrol engine only to generate electricity, while an electric motor drives the wheels — you don’t need to plug the car in.

Why choose e-POWER?

• Electric-style driving feel: Instant torque, smooth acceleration, and often one-pedal driving thanks to regenerative braking — similar to a pure EV.
• No range anxiety: Because it doesn’t rely on a battery for long ranges, you just fill up with petrol and go — no charging stops.
• Improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions: e-POWER reduces CO₂ and can deliver high mpg compared to conventional petrol vehicles.
• Relaxed driving experience: e-POWER systems like the one fitted in the new Qashqai are quieter and smoother than traditional engines.

Considerations:

• Because it still uses petrol, it’s not zero-emission like an EV is.

e-POWER is great if you want many of the benefits of electric driving without the need to change your habits around charging.
