WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Kia Soul EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Electric vehicle is powered by transforming electric energy into kinetic energy in the motor and high voltage battery. It can be recharged by high voltage energy via IBC or OBC. Electric motor not only has the role of driving the vehicle but also acts as an alternator to generate electric energy used to recharge the high voltage battery by regenerative braking. Operation principles among modules are as detailed below.
