Billyk - I think the HCH can EV up to about 65 miles per hour.
Could you take a photo or video of this or how fast a Honda Civic Hybrid can go in electric mode?
Well I have to tell you, the speed is zero! It can not move on pure electric at all.
I would also want a button to prevent regen. You could pulse to speed and glide as long as possible without regen.
The Ford Escape Hybrid allows one to shift into "N" on the fly to prevent regenative braking effects. Does the Honda Civic Hybrid allow shifting on the fly?
Hey - if you could get a charger/block heater combo for a few hundred $$ - wouldn't it be worth it? (after the warranty of course...)[/quote]
I have an engine block heater on my Ford Escape Hybrid and this allows warms the hybrid battery. My vehicle is still under warranty. Ford sells this setup as standard in cold weather states. The charger does not increase the hybrid battery state of charge, just the temperature.
