The Nissan Kicks is not 100% electric; it also includes a gasoline engine for recharging the battery pack, which powers the electric motor. The wheels receive power straight from the electric motor. The engine and the wheels are not mechanically connected. The Kicks is a fully electric motor-driven vehicle because the electric motor uses the battery pack's stored energy.
