Nissan Note E Power Hybrid Car Review | Nissan Note Hybrid | Note e-Power Drives An Electric CAR

Описание

Nissan’s e-Power system is what’s referred to as a series hybrid powertrain. That’s as compared to the more common — as in, the Toyota Prius — parallel hybrid. So, while in a Prius, both gasoline engine and electric motor can both drive the wheels — hence working in parallel — the little 1.2-litre three-cylinder in the Note only generates electricity, either charging the on-board 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery or sending electrons directly to the electric motor. Essentially, it’s an electric car with a gasoline-powered generator on board to keep the small-ish battery topped up. Or, another way to look at it might be as a Chevy Volt — which also used its gas engine as a generator — without the larger battery.

Without a large, EV-like battery, the Note gets most of its electricity from its gasoline engine. Oh, it can go a couple of clicks on that smallish battery alone and, like all hybrids, can recharge the battery via regenerative braking. But for all intents and purposes, the primary energy source for its electric is that little 1.2L has engine. In other words, the gas engine, like say a Toyota Prius, is always on.
Where the two differ — and why Nissan says e-Power is more efficient than Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive — is that because the gas engine is a generator (and again, not connected to the wheels), it operates at a fairly constant speed (usually between 2,000 and 3,500 rpm).
