Hi nash,

How do you manage increase your speed from 5 to 30 miles per hour in slow and go trafic?

For me if engine warm enough, I can increase speed from 5 to 15 miles per hour most in all electric mode.

I also have another question.

When ICE starts after all EV mode, I usually accelerate quickly to little more than desired speed and give up gas for fraction of second and than try to go in all EV mode. (yes, usualy Pulse and Glide technique) Is this is the only way to keep on returning to all EV mode and shut ICE off or there is a better way?

Thanks
