This is largely dependent on the battery's charge. Nissan has minimized the need for the ICE to kick in compared to the first-gen e-Power (the one tested in Singapore)...but it doesn't mean it'll try to deplete the battery at every given opportunity. It adjusts the activation of the ICE to minimize the wear-and-tear to the battery. Of course, you can override that with the dedicated EV mode.Ulysses Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863291552170192774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-72698848952076152772022-08-11T08:47:35.569+08:002022-08-11T08:47:35.569+08:00"fuel efficiency in real life reviews in Sing..."fuel efficiency in real life reviews in Singapore resulted of only less than 19km/l...that's more or less the same as Raize"<br /><br />19kml would also be heavy traffic figure up to 50-60kmh, while the Raize would only do ~10kmh or less in heavy traffic.

Because of that though, there's no spare tire. Only a tire inflator / repair kit.<br /><br />As for the range of the EV, likely a handful of kilometers only...maybe not more than five on a full charge? In the two times I've tried it out, the battery meter was never full. Typically, the Kicks will determine the most appropriate level of charge based on conditions. This can be overridden though, but I didn't get the chance to play with that yet.
