What does the EV button on the car mean?
2 Answers
The EV button on the car refers to the electric mode in the vehicle's driving modes, which is normally only found in hybrid vehicles. When the car is in EV mode, the fuel engine does not operate, and only the electric motor works. The car can activate EV mode for following in congested urban roads, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Pure electric vehicles are more environmentally friendly, as they basically produce no tailpipe emissions and do not cause pollution to the environment. Precautions for using pure electric vehicle mode include: 1. Try to drive on urban roads when using a pure electric vehicle to prevent the car from stalling due to a dead battery; 2. Charge the pure electric vehicle in a timely manner; 3. Prevent the car's battery from being submerged in water.
I recently bought a hybrid car and noticed an EV button on the dashboard. At first, I had no idea what it was, so I asked a friend. Turns out, it's the switch for electric mode—pressing it makes the car run primarily on the electric motor instead of the gasoline engine, saving fuel and reducing noise. Now, I’ve gotten into the habit of turning it on during city traffic jams since the low speed and quiet operation are perfect for congested roads. However, the system automatically deactivates when the battery is low, so I make sure to keep it charged. I often use it for parking or short-distance moves, and it feels quite eco-friendly. My driving instructor never mentioned this feature during lessons, but now I find it incredibly practical, especially when stuck in traffic—turning on EV mode even lifts my mood a bit.
