Our Guide to Nissan’s E-4ORCE and E-Power Technology

Nissan’s long been recognized as an innovator in the automotive space, and the introduction of two new technologies—e-4ORCE and e-Power—showcases the automaker’s commitment to an electric future. Read on to discover these two innovative technologies in-depth and learn how they’re elevating driver confidence and efficiency, all at once.

E-4ORCE

Nissan’s long been the leader in EV technology, and their latest innovation—the e-4ORCE system—is set to deliver an even brighter future in terms of driving comfort, cornering performance, safety, and so much more.

E-4ORCE is Nissan’s new electric all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, using all-wheel control technology based on a dual-electric motor setup. While EVs traditionally deliver torque in an instant, e-4ORCE hands the power back to the driver, delivering sportier handling that behaves similar to—or better than—a gas-powered car with traditional mechanical AWD.

After all, why shouldn’t Nissan offer an AWD option for electric vehicles? The automaker has strategically placed an electric motor on both the front and rear axles, allowing torque to be distributed more evenly between the axles. Plus, four spinning wheels instead of two enables stronger acceleration on dry roads and much better traction in bad weather. Now, drivers can count on an enjoyable drive in their Nissan EV, no matter the weather conditions.

E-Power

Nissan’s also changing the game when it comes to hybrid vehicles, with orders opening for their innovative Qashqai e-Power system. This hybrid system relies on both an electric motor and a combustion engine, but it operates much differently than other systems on the market, using the electric motors to drive the wheels instead of the engine. Also, unlike other hybrids, since the gasoline engine doesn’t propel the wheels, you won’t find a gearbox or transmission in e-Power-equipped vehicles.

It all equates to a big efficiency advantage over conventional gasoline engines. E-Power-equipped vehicles rely on a 1.5-liter Infiniti engine that uses a variable compression ratio. It runs much more efficiently than other engines on the market, since the loads can be better managed. The engine provides power only to the electrical system, so drivers will notice that e-Power cars drive just like EVs.

The efficient engine both reduces emissions and enables a long range for e-Power vehicles. In fact, the official range for e-Power vehicles reaches over 600 miles, an impressive feat for any hybrid. Nissan envisions their e-Power system to be the stepping stone to an electric future for many drivers.
