What does the EV button do in the Kia Niro?

I'm new to driving a hybrid or electric vehicle and I noticed an EV button in my Kia Niro. What does this button do and should I be using it?

The EV button allows you to manually switch the Kia Niro into all-electric mode, meaning it will only use battery power instead of the gas engine. It's great for short trips or when you want to save on gas.

If you're driving on the highway or going on a longer drive, it's best to leave the EV button off. This way, the car can decide when to use electric power and when to use the gas engine for optimal efficiency.

I recommend experimenting with the EV button to see how it affects your fuel efficiency. Pay attention to how far you can drive in all-electric mode and compare it to when you have the button off. This will help you determine when to use it.
