Nissan e-Power

[DaveBerlin]

Nissan to introduce e-POWER models in Europe for Customer Cars in 2022 - Dave
The e-POWER system includes a gasoline engine with a power generator, an inverter, a battery and an electric motor. Used solely to charge the high-output battery, the gasoline engine always runs at an optimal speed. This leads to superior fuel efficiency and lower emissions compared with a traditional internal combustion engine.

I meant as in, who's going to pay the £10k for a new battery ? Who's going to buy a 5 - 10 year old electric vehicle that hasn't had a new battery fitted ?
