The Niro isn’t plugged in to recharge the battery but does have a very efficient regenerative charging system that converts kinetic energy into electric energy, when applying the brakes or coasting, and stores it in the battery. In addition, we are often invited to manufacturer events highlighting new vehicles or technology.

And yet, what about recharging? That means I'd have to recharge at least once. It might be in your neighborhood, but it's something that you will find along interstates or major travel routes. And that will get you to your destination with something like 25 or 30 percent of battery range remaining.
