Many of us HATE the fact that if the accelerator is unintentially pressed too hard, putting the Plug-in into the Power range and thus HV mode, it stays in the HV mode wasting gas until the engine heats up. Some of us at the next light, will power off the car, and then Restart it, to get it out of HV and back to EV. We've asked for a way to get it out of this "Accidential HV mode". Can the Prime be switched out of "Accidential HV mode"?
Yes. There's EV Mode, HV Mode and EV Auto mode. The first one is strictly EV and will behave like the Volt The second tells the car to operate like a hybrid car (so it may conserve the battery for later use) The 3rd is new and EV Auto will function like the old PiP. This mode will use battery or gas depending on which is more efficient.
