Choose electric or hybrid driving
Official manufacturer dataApplies to: Super Hybrid (SHS-P)Source: Super Hybrid handbook p198-199, p28

The power mode decides whether the car drives on electricity only or as a hybrid.

ModeWhat it does
EVPure electric driving. The engine does not start.
EV+Uses the battery more deeply to give more electric range than EV. Use it only in an emergency – limiting deep discharge helps keep the battery healthy.
HEVHybrid driving. The engine starts and stops whenever needed to drive the car or generate electricity.

Good to know

  • When the battery has plenty of charge, the car switches to EV mode automatically in READY state. Jaecoo recommends using EV mode first.
  • In EV mode, electric range falls as the battery drains. When the battery is too low, the car switches to HEV mode automatically.
  • If conditions don't allow a switch (for example the battery is low), the cluster shows "Current Conditions Not Met, Mode Cannot Be Switched" and the car stays in HEV.
  • In HEV mode, in P, with a low battery, pressing the accelerator can start forced parking power generation (the engine charges the battery while parked).
  • After long periods in electric mode, the engine starts by itself now and then for self-maintenance, then switches off again.
  • Selecting Sport mode while in EV automatically moves the car to HEV mode.
