Re: Anticipate what's coming up before going to EV mode
Great advice Marc. I often get in stop/slow and go traffic during rush hour going home on the freeway. I've found by watching the battery SOC display I can get the most out of my EV capacity. I use the ICE when I accelerate if the SO is under 2/3 to keep from draining the battery to the point the ICE runs to recharge the battery, even if I'm stopped.
The SOC lets me decide when to back off the throttle and use EV or move along slowly with the ICE to restore the SOC a bit. It really does help.
