Most Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PHEV) will cycle the engine on and off between Hybrid Electric Mode (gas engine running) and all Electric Vehicle Mode (all battery propulsion) even when the battery is very low and there shows no more EV range. It is fairly ingenious and I demonstrate it on my 2020 Kia Niro PHEV. With 0 miles of EV range, the Niro PHEV continued to cycle the engine, unknown to me, to save gasoline, resulting in excellent gas mileage on a very windy and mountainous road.
