Nissan electric vehicles offer improved range and performance to make your drive as efficient as possible. The advantages of driving an electric vehicle are numerous, but to make the most of them, there are some things to consider.
Mild hybrid use a petrol engine to power the wheels with a lithium battery providing support. Stop-start technology increases efficiency by shutting the engine off when the car is coasting, or when lifting the foot off the pedal at speeds under 11 mph on automatic transmission, reducing tailpipe emissions and running costs.
Mild Hybrid, optimising efficiency. Mild Hybrid cars are the easiest way to switch to electrification. A petrol engine drives the wheels while an electric battery provides support during acceleration, up hills and while cruising. The only change you’ll notice is improved fuel efficiency and a more comfortable drive — particularly in stop-start traffic.
e-POWER combines a petrol engine which charges the battery with an electric motor that turns the wheels. e-POWER has lower emissions and running costs compared to a traditional petrol engine, but unlike a fully electric vehicle, you don't have to plug it in. There is also no compromise in terms of driving pleasure, e-POWER delivers instant acceleration giving you that Electric Vehicle feeling.

100% Electric, driving the future. Powered by an electric motor and battery pack, you'll never need to visit the petrol station again. Electric power is clean, silent, efficient and cheaper, but you do need to charge, which may mean planning long journeys and installing a charging point at home.
While both make an energy-efficient choice, new electric and hybrid vehicles are powered differently. Electric vehicles run solely on battery power and regularly need to be charged, whereas hybrid vehicles shift seamlessly between two power sources that can work independently or simultaneously.
Generally, electric vehicles boast an impressive range. This depends on the model but, as an example, the Nissan Leaf covers up to 239 miles, while the Kia EV6 allows for over 316 miles on a fully charged battery.
There are over 330 free-to-use public charging points in Northern Ireland and these can be easily found from your phone using the Zap Map app. Furthermore, additional rapid charging points are expected to be added to the NI network by 2023. If you’d prefer to charge your new electric car in NI at home, government grants are available for installation.
It’s free to charge at any public charge point. For home charging points, costs vary depending on your energy provider and the specific model of your new electric car. On average, you could expect a full charge to cost between £5 and £10.
With a rapid charging point, you can charge your electric vehicle in as little as 45-60 minutes. EV drivers often use public charge points at any convenient opportunity to maintain a healthy level of charge. Charging overnight at home, meanwhile, is a time-efficient way to guarantee a fully charged battery.
Yes! Electric vehicles help to cut fuel emissions, promote sustainable driving and reduce our carbon footprint. Without doubt, switching to an electric vehicle in NI helps to fight climate change.
