When you use the UVO app on your phone it will use Wi-Fi if you’re connected or your 3G/4G/5G so it will use a very small amount of your data. The e-Niro has a sim card which means it can pick up the signals (and commands) sent to it. That also works over the mobile network.
I believe when you buy an e-Niro that SIM card has 5 years worth of free data for basic features (remote unlocking and turning the heating on) and 1 year for the other features like live traffic updates. After that you can purchase a subscription. It’s very similar to other cars such as Ford and their FordPass app.
