What does the EV setting do in the Kia Niro?

I recently purchased a Kia Niro and noticed an EV setting on the dashboard. Can you explain what it does and when I should use it?

The EV setting stands for Electric Vehicle and it allows you to switch to all-electric mode for a certain distance. This means you can save on gas and reduce emissions. I recommend using it for short commutes or in traffic.

The EV setting utilizes the hybrid battery to power the car in all-electric mode. This is great for city driving where you can recharge the battery through regenerative braking. I suggest using it on roads with lower speed limits.

The EV setting is also useful for maximizing fuel efficiency on longer drives. It helps to conserve gas by using the battery more. Use it on highways and open roads for optimal efficiency.
