Toyota’s debut EV is firmly middle-of-the-road in terms of price, size, range, performance, charge speed and features.

Much has been achieved through fakery – ‘petrol’ engine note and gear shifts included – but there’s been no reason to hide this. A smart cooling system, advanced battery thermal management and an ‘Endurance’ mode – where peak performance is slightly pegged – will extend track time.

But before we get to the Nissan Qashqai e-Power review, a quick recap of what e-Power means , exactly… It’s a hybrid powertrain. Nothing else.

You’re a smart little SUV. The e-2008 has a range of only 328km, its single motor offers just 100kW/260Nm, has 100kW maximum charging, and the rear seat and boot space are sized better for a retired couple than our family of four.

That’s why the government has banned the sale of petrol and diesel cars from 2030. One of the big concerns we encounter when people are considering switching to an electric vehicle (EV) , is that they think it’s going to be much more expensive than a petrol or diesel car. How long does it take to charge an electric car?

Not as aesthetically successful (to this reviewer’s eyes) as the larger EQS, the EQE certainly looks like the bulk of its exterior design was done in Benz’s wind tunnel. The high voltage battery gets a separate and class-leading ten-year, 250,000km warranty. This guarantees over 70 percent battery health over that time.

One oversight is the warranty, which is an undernourished four years or 80,000km (double that for the high voltage battery). Our car also had a bigger battery, which adds $5000.

We, and every other car reviewer with a basic grasp of the market, knew this fee for a small EV with paltry 200km (WLTP) range was laughable.

Options are very limited for super-breeders needing more than five seats – although the Kia EV9 due late in 2023 will provide a tantalising option – but a huge advantage of going EV (if built on an electric vehicle-only platform) is roomier and smarter interior packaging compared to petrol and diesel vehicles.
