Nissan's Next-Gen Hybrids Are Actually EREVs
Briefly

Nissan is introducing its innovative e-Power hybrid system to the U.S. market with the redesigned 2026 Rogue. The e-Power system operates purely on electric drivetrains, utilizing a gasoline engine solely for electricity generation, distinguishing it from traditional hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems. While many automakers focus on larger battery storage for extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), Nissan's system opts for a more compact battery, allowing for direct power transmission from the engine to the motor. This approach will be featured in vehicles like the Qashqai in Europe before launching in the Rogue in the U.S.
