Electric vehicles (EVs) are here to stay. Embrace the future of sustainable driving with your new Nissan EV today.
Making the switch to electric driving doesn’t have to be a daunting prospect – there are steps you can take to ensure that the transition to electric driving is as smooth as the drive it delivers. At Hendy Nissan, we have a wide range of Nissan EVs in stock, and we’ll match you up to the perfect model to suit your driving needs.
Mild hybrid vehicles operate by having both a petrol engine and an electric battery to provide power. The petrol engine propels the wheels, while the electric battery provides extra support – whether that’s ascending hills or navigating the streets. A great way of dipping your toe in electrification without the need to plug in, mild hybrid vehicles boast fuel efficiency and a smoother journey for all.
Alongside your standard petrol engine, hybrid vehicles also add an electric motor, giving you some of the many benefits of EV driving but without needing to charge it up – with electric range covering most small journeys. Its system works to efficiently deliver combustion, electric or both forms of power to the vehicle to ensure optimal driving efficiency at all times.
Nissan have created their own electric driving technology known as e-POWER. It’s a highly innovative system where a petrol engine plus a small battery power an electric motor, which in turn delivers power to the vehicle’s wheels. With e-POWER models, drivers can enjoy lower emissions and running costs, and there’s also no need to plug it in to charge. Its powerful and smooth, giving drivers an all-electric driving feel.
Going 100% electric in your driving means that your vehicle is powered by an electric motor and battery pack – where you can enjoy clean, silent, efficient and cheaper driving. Plugging in – either from a home or service charging point–will need to be taken into consideration when planning long trips, but those frustrating excursions to the petrol station will be a thing of the past.
