We will see if nissans take on a series hybrid ends up being a more efficient series hybrid than before.

Something is missing in that description of the drivetrain. A 1.5kWh battery seems to be too small to be the sole power to move the car with a 40kW motor. That will be quite a high discharge rate leading to very short battery life like the R/C batteries get. The Honda Accord Hybrid uses 6.7kWh and the engine clutches in to the wheels at highway speed.

Pretty sure the Accord Hybrid (non plug-in) uses a 1.3kWh lithium. I believe the battery is only there to provide power in addition to the peak the engine can produce - e.g. if you're drawing 100kW, the engine might be making 80 and the battery giving up the extra 20 until you're done accelerating.

You are right.
. 1.3 kWh Li-Ion battery Eight-year/100,000-mile or ten-year/150,000 mile Li-Ion battery limited warranty, depending on the state of purchase/registration. . 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Press Kit - Powertrain - Honda News . I guess the engine can start up if you want anything more than the instantaneous power that the battery can give. |
Is there any real world fuel efficiency data on the series hybrid Note such as Fuelly or Spiritmonitor? All previous series/ parallel cars were more efficiont than series only hybrid cars.

This a classic case of cheap and fast sells Further Nissan has no plans of selling the low cost epower Note in the US , Instead we will get expensive epower mini vans and SUVS Nissan wants to use this option only on fully loaded large vehicles, Another fail in my book, let’s hope $5 gas makes them come to their senses |

I think I'll close this one and post a link to the other in post #1.) |
