Default Re: Have you experience this?

This is normal,

The computer tries to anticipate need. Remember the primary reason for the electric part of our car is not EV mode, but to provide regenerated power for when we accelerate or need both motors running at the same time. The system tries to balance itself so that there is always a charge when needed which sometimes leads to the ICE running even when stopped.

I admit sometimes it seems like the computer gets it wrong.
