Kia Niro 2017 Hybrid Battery

Asked by damcdonald1728 Mar 18, 2021 at 07:50 PM about the 2017 Kia Niro LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello,

I have a 2017 Kia Niro Hybrid (not a plug in) that charges while it drives.

I purchased the car used, only 28k miles, and the hybrid battery is showing at
about 50% charge.

How do I get this fully charged? I have tried braking and letting off the
accelerator and it does charge it a bit but goes back down once I have been
pressing on the accelerator for a bit.

This is my first hybrid and I am not sure what will happen if it drains all the way.
The owner's manual says the fuel will recharge the battery if it drops too low
but I just want to be sure.

Thank you!

Hybrids charge via braking. If you go down a steep grade it will probably charge up. I would not obsess over it.
