Benefits of NISSAN’S E-POWER: A SMARTER WAY TO DRIVE ELECTRIC
In the ever-evolving landscape of electric vehicles (EVs), Nissan’s E-Power system shines as a technological marvel, redefining the way we think about electric mobility.
e-POWER made its debut in Japan in 2016 alongside the Nissan Note. At its heart lies the identical 100% electric motor technology employed in the Nissan LEAF, ensuring immediate torque, power, efficiency, and exhilaration.

1. Efficiency Beyond Compare: an EV-Based System
At the heart of Nissan’s E-Power system is a hybrid setup that seamlessly combines a petrol engine with an electric motor. Unlike traditional hybrids, where the gasoline engine directly drives the wheels, it employs the petrol engine purely as a generator. This means that the engine can operate in its most efficient range, resulting in significantly improved fuel economy.

Common Questions on E-Power
The expected lifespan of an E-Power vehicle’s battery can vary depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions. However, E-Power vehicle batteries are designed to last for a significant portion of the vehicle’s lifetime, typically exceeding 240,000 kilometers.
At VANSWEST, our E-Power cars come with a standard 1-year warranty. Additionally, we offer flexible options for extending coverage for up to 5 years. This comprehensive warranty demonstrates our dedication to the longevity and durability of the vehicle (excluding the hybrid battery).
However, we do offer a separate warranty exclusively for the hybrid battery to provide additional peace of mind to our customers.
Nissan’s E-Power system primarily rely on electric propulsion with a petrol engine acting as a generator. They feature larger batteries for extended electric driving and tend to offer simpler, potentially more cost-effective maintenance.
In contrast, conventional hybrid cars use a combination of petrol and electric power for propulsion, often with shorter electric-only ranges. They employ regenerative braking, exhibit more complex interactions between the two power sources, and may vary in driving characteristics.
The choice depends on your preference for longer electric-only range and simplicity (E-Power) or a balance between fuel and electric power (conventional hybrid).
As per insights from VansWest mechanics, the maintenance procedures for both E-Power vehicles, such as the NISSAN NOTE (HE12), and traditional petrol cars remain consistent.
However, it’s worth noting that Nissan recommends using 5W-20 engine oil for E-Power vehicles. In consideration of the Australian climate, where higher temperatures are common, some experts suggest that 5W-30 engine oil may offer better performance and protection.
