Nissan is launching its first e-Power model in Malaysia this year. But how does this hybrid system differ from that of other makes?
First introduced in 2016, Nissan’s e-Power hybrid system essentially features a petrol gasoline engine and an electric motor. But unlike the traditional hybrid systems most of you might be familiar with, the wheels of an e-Power vehicle are solely powered by the electric motor. The engine on the other hand plays the role of a generator, supplying power to the small lithium-ion hybrid battery pack.
So, how does Nissan’s e-Power system operate in real life? When travelling at low to medium speeds, such as when being driven in urban areas, only the electric motor is needed to power the vehicle. When running at high speeds, the engine will kick in at optimal RPM to power the electric motor. The electric motor will garner energy from both the engine and the lithium-ion battery pack whenever maximum performance is needed.
The way Nissan’s e-Power system operates might sound rather similar to Honda’s i-MMD hybrid system. Found in its e:HEV vehicles, the Honda i-MMD system mainly uses its electric motor to power the wheels. However, the petrol engine can also power the wheels directly whenever extra power is needed or when travelling at high speeds.
