Is there a power technology that can meet the convenience and speed of fuel vehicles and the driving pleasure of pure trams at the same time? In November, Dongfeng Nissan carried the new species of e-POWER to give the answer, as Nissan's unique fusion power, e-POWER will be the perfect integration of fuel technology and electric drive technology, taking into account the control and battery life, without charging can enjoy driving fun, the dream into reality!
Ten years of research and development
Electric drive technology that does not require charging
According to the Shanghai New Energy Vehicle Promotion Office, the number of new energy vehicles in Shanghai reached 3621 in November this year. So far, from January to November this year, the cumulative promotion of new energy vehicles is 29532, and throughout the country, Shanghai has become the largest new energy vehicle market. However, with the increase in the number of new energy vehicles, consumers' endurance anxiety has always remained high.
As Nissan's new generation of power technology, e-POWER adopts electric drive technology without charging, and through the working mode of 100% motor drive, it innovatively realizes the advantage of retaining pure electricity without worrying about battery life anxiety, bringing consumers a new choice of electric drive without charging.
It is reported that as the result of the cooperation of the two legendary teams of GT-R and LEAF, e-POWER has undergone 10 years of research and development by engineers, integrating Nissan's nearly 90 years of fuel technology and super 70 years of electric technology. As early as 2007, Nissan Motor began research and development based on the fuel version of TIIDA (Qida), in order to let more people experience the "ultra-long acceleration feeling" of pure motor drive as soon as possible, while developing electric vehicles, developed a new concept car that "internal combustion engine is used to generate electricity and motor drive", realizing the challenge of using complex technology to control driving pleasure. In 2010, based on the electric vehicle LEAF (LEAF), the power system was integrated into the internal combustion engine cabin by rationalizing the layout of parts and components, realizing the same riding space as the fuel version model, and at the same time as the layout change, in order to get closer to the electric vehicle, the working method coordinated with the internal combustion engine and the electric motor was adopted.
With a solid foundation of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles, Nissan engineers have continuously explored and improved, so that e-POWER this integrated power has the characteristics of no charging, pure electric drive, etc., once launched, it has aroused great concern in the industry, and has won many awards such as "Global New Energy Vehicle Frontier and Innovative Technology", "Annual Wind and Cloud Technology" and so on.
Four sharp weapons
e-POWER delivers an exceptional driving experience
As an unprecedented fusion power, e-POWER is an important part of Nissan's multi-power matrix, e-POWER brings consumers a more advanced 100% full-time electric drive experience, and realizes a high degree of unity of fuel economy, comfort and surging power, fast, smooth, quiet and provincial four sharp tools to bring consumers an extraordinary driving experience.
The powerful acceleration performance of e-POWER is derived from the high-power drive motor of the same origin as THE LEAF, the peak torque reaches 300N·m, and the acceleration of 0-50km/h takes only 3.8 seconds, starting faster and overtaking, bringing consumers a smooth driving experience. At the same time, Nissan adopts a power battery with flash charge flash discharge function, the charge and discharge rate is as high as 30C, which is 15 times that of ordinary energy storage batteries, so that the flash charge flash release, rapid response, calm response to various working conditions. Coupled with 1/10,000 seconds of ultra-high precision accurate control, it suppresses torsional resonance, improves smoothness, makes the powerful power silky smooth, and ensures smooth and comfortable driving process.
Not only that, because the internal combustion engine does not participate in direct drive throughout the process, only in the case of insufficient battery power, rapid acceleration or high-speed cruising, the starting frequency is reduced by 50% compared with the traditional HEV, coupled with the high-efficiency low vibration motor, the overall noise of e-POWER is 6 decibels lower than that of HEV, and the advantages are more obvious when driving at low and medium speeds, providing a whisper-level quiet experience for drivers and passengers.
It is worth mentioning that the gasoline internal combustion engine is only responsible for generating electricity, always maintaining optimal operating conditions, and can provide excellent fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions compared with traditional internal combustion engines. 3.9L/100Km urban comprehensive fuel consumption allows consumers to save worry and money, refueling time is far shorter than charging time, and saves time for consumers, fuel consumption anxiety, charging anxiety, difficulties in finding charging piles and other troubles once solved.
It is not difficult to see from the four aspects of e-POWER fast, smooth, quiet and economical that e-POWER has a more advanced pure electric experience than traditional HEV, with faster starting acceleration, smoother driving, higher tranquility, and more fuel-efficient urban roads. Compared with pure electric EV, e-POWER models do not need to charge and wait, have no battery life anxiety, are not afraid of the impact of low temperatures, and have more obvious technical advantages
China's first debut
Debut is the peak
On November 19, Dongfeng Nissan e-POWER China's first model was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show. As the first model in the Chinese market using Nissan e-POWER technology, the first model of e-POWER has achieved a comprehensive breakthrough in the five dimensions of technology, space, configuration and safety, and the audience and professional media have stopped to understand this "new species" equipped with e-POWER fusion power. In addition to the four advantages of "fast, smooth, quiet and provincial" introduced above, the characteristics of the first model of e-POWER in terms of appearance are also remarkable.
The first model of e-POWER follows the front face design of the Nissan V-Motion family, and the overall shape is more sporty and youthful. On the front of the body, the front and rear of the first model of e-POWER have a newly designed NISSAN LOGO, which is full of technology and texture, and the front face grille is equipped with a new Y-shaped mesh pattern that reflects the electric drive, bringing a very strong visual impact. On the side of the body, the first model of e-POWER still uses a segmented waistline design, a stylish suspension roof, and double five-spoke wheels. It is worth noting that the new car has added e-POWER left and right side markers, and there are two-color body for consumers to choose, and the new car will also provide different roof and exterior mirror options with different colors. At the rear of the body, it is equipped with a newly designed LED taillight group, which is full of technology, and adds e-POWER tail mark and 300 torque data tail mark to further highlight the identity of the new car.
At present, e-POWER China's first car has officially begun to accept reservations. The new car launched a total of 4 models, the official guidance price is 138,900 yuan for the all-electric drive Pro version, 149,900 yuan for the Super Smart Plus version, 155,900 yuan for the Super Smart Driving Max Version, and 174,900 yuan for the ultra-luxury Ultra version.
As an unprecedented convergence power, e-POWER is an important part of Nissan's multi-power matrix and a key step towards Nissan's 2050 carbon neutrality target. The first model of Dongfeng Nissan e-POWER in China has further determined the pace of Dongfeng Nissan's move towards the "double carbon" era. In the future, it is believed that Dongfeng Nissan will continue to take quality and service as the cornerstone and technological innovation as the engine to bring more surprises to the user's travel life and bring consumers a better life.
