John - EV mode requires 140F min. Using SGII-Xg, assuming SoC is OK (~50%), will fWT and CHT be the only other criteria to enable EV?
In my 45F attached garage, pulling out into 32F ambient, ICE naturally running, I see CHT increasing rapidly, and fWT increasing slowly. Seems that CHT is abt 1200F when fWT reaches 140F.
Q - Was EV mode waiting on fWT to reach 140F, or is CHT of 1200 required? In order to increase FE, I don't know exactly where to target my EV early priorities? A EBH would increase water temp and decrease time to get to fWT 140, but if I'm still waiting on CHT threshold I haven't gained.
Opinions and info from you guys who've been driving hybrids for a few years is invaluable for us guys still in the "improving" stage.
