Wait, you can coast without allowing IMA to recharge? Meaning it is solely the electric working during the coast and not the ICE? How, other than balling into neutral?
To coast in a Honda hybrid, you let the accelerator pedal almost all the way out, to the point just before regen kicks in. The ICE continues to be engaged and running, but you're sending practically no fuel to it. There is no way in the current Honda hybrids to run on electric only.
