Of course once the temperature gets down to single digits I would expect very little time in the EV mode.
With only a week under my belt with my NAH, I noticed the same thing and the temps here in PA in the Snow Belt have been in the upper 20's to low 30's.

Even so, I am still seeing about 34 MPG on the dash on the first tank with mostly city driving.
