I do get a great charge going down the hill for sure :) Thanks again for the advice.

Thanks guys! Makes sense that I have seen it "near home" - funny thing is I live at the top of a hill in the woods and the driveway is all uphill and 1/2 mile long. So I don't see a lot of EV-anything as I make my ascent up the driveway!

So a few times when driving the display shows EV+ instead of EV. This is only for a what seems like a millisecond and then it is gone. Going with the general theory that A+ is better than A, I would think EV+ is better than EV. This all being said, what does anyone know about it? If worthwhile is there something we can do while driving to achieve this seemingly elusive state? Thanks!

41.6 MPG on a 140 mile round trip for mother's day, all types of road conditions. Very nice compared to my 13.1 MPG on my F-150!

Excellent responses. Thanks!

Hey All, I'm new to the forum and just picked up my 2013 SE. I searched around the net and I don't see an obvious post anywhere about tips/techniques to get the EV charge up. I know the braking helps, but does also going into gas mode help? High RPM? Other tricks? Another thing I think the answer is no to, is there anyway on this model (non-plug in) to charge the EV batteries externally or are these special and "untouchable?" Thanks and sorry if these are noob questions!
