lolder Report post Posted October 4, 2009 After 4500 miles, I'm pretty familiar with the operation. I thought vehicle movement in the EV mode was inhibited until the thermometer went to "green" signifying emissions warm up. Occasionally the green came and went off briefly with corresponding EV canceling which I attributed to non linear emissions warming. The last few days have brought cooler temperatures and for the first time I did some driving with the AC off. Several times, the vehicle went into EV mode without the "green" thermometer. Perhaps they are not directly linked. I managed some 75 to 85 mpg 1.5 mile local trips with only some brief ICE acceleration and of course low accessory load.Lee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
