I have seen this problem with same conditions, a few times. No matter what, the car just refuse go to EV mode, even in the 25 mile speed zone. This is what I have found to work: I just park my car to the side for about a minute or so, then after about a minute it goes to EV while parked. Now I can go on driving in EV and it works just fine... very puzzling. One think I observed though is that, this happens mostely when the pattery is almost full, just one bar short of full..
