Hi;
Your 06 HCH II does-not take off from a stand-stiill and go up to 35
MPH on the Electric only Motor.
The Toyota Prius does this and that is why the Prius gets the FE (Fuel Economy) in town.
The HCH II beats the Prius on the Hwy. but not in town. Just to do a Heads-Up with you on the Electric Power Mode of the HCH II. (IMO) In-My-Opinion it is really difficult to get the car to run on just the Electric only Mode. There have been many Threads and Post here talking and discussing just that. It will do it under Certain Conditions, but if your driving anything approaching the normal traffic flow, {FORGET IT}.
HTH;

BTW, I know this is not what you wanted to here, but it is however the truth.
