Unlike the all-battery-electric powertrain of the LEAF, e-POWER adds a small gasoline engine to charge the high-output battery when necessary, eliminating the need for an external charger while offering the same high-output. However, in the e-POWER system, the gasoline engine is not connected to the wheels; it simply charges the battery.
