Hybrid System Overview

HEV (HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE) SYSTEM

The Kia Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses both the gasoline engine and the electric motor for power. The electric

motor is run by a 240V high-voltage HEV battery.

Depending on the driving conditions, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and the electric

motor or even both at the same time.

Fuel efficiency increases when the engine is at idle, or when the vehicle is driven by the electric motor with the HEV

battery.

The HEV battery charge must be maintained for the times when the engine acts as a generator, such as when

stopped at idle. Charging also occurs when decelerating or by regenerative braking.
