Nissan's third generation e-POWER powertrain

Nissan's third generation e-POWER powertrain is a more efficient and compact design, with a lithium-ion battery and a more powerful electric motor. The new powertrain will be available in the 2023 Nissan Kicks and Qashqai models, with a target production volume of 1 million units per year. The e-POWER system uses a 1.5-liter gasoline engine to charge the battery, which is then used to power the electric motor. The system is designed to provide a more seamless transition between electric and gasoline power, with the gasoline engine kicking in only when needed. The new e-POWER system is also more compact, with a 20% reduction in size compared to the previous generation. This allows for more space in the vehicle, and also makes it easier to integrate into smaller vehicles. Nissan plans to expand the use of e-POWER technology across its lineup, with a target of 50% of its global sales coming from electrified vehicles by 2025.
