A State of Charge (SOC) gauge
The State of Charge gauge displays the high-voltage battery charge status .
•L (low) position on the gauge indicates that the driving battery energy is low
•H (high) position on the gauge indicates that the driving battery is fully charged
B Power / Charge Gauge
Niro EV ’s Power / Charge gauge provides information on the energy consumption rate of the vehicle and the charge status of the regenerative brakes .
•POWER – Shows the energy consumption rate of the vehicle when driving uphill or accelerating . The more electric energy used, the higher the gauge level
•CHARGE – Shows the charging status of the battery when it is being charged by the regenerative brakes . The more electric energy charged, the lower the gauge level
C Remaining Distance
Remaining Distance is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining high-voltage battery level . It is displayed differently according to the selected drive mode and Climate Control settings .
For more information, refer to the Owner ’s Manual .
Energy Consumption
There are several factors that contribute to your electric vehicle’s energy consumption, including maintenance of your vehicle, driving style, environmental conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics .
Below are tips on how to help reduce energy consumption:
•Keep your vehicle in good condition with regular maintenance
•Don’t “ride” the brake pedal
•Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating smoothly and at a moderate rate
•Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
•Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight in your vehicle
