Vintre Posted February 5, 2018 at 05:46 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 at 05:46 PM (edited) Hello All, 2017 FFE. Its cold here in Southern Ontario. Today its -13C (15F). Is there a way to force the car to ONLY use "EV Only" setting? I understand the 3 available settings, but if I have a very short trip in town, even with a full charge (much more than needed to get there and back), the ICE will still kick in. The orange light comes up saying ICE is enabled to help performance. When I know that I am only going a short distance and have more than enough charge, including heating, is there a way that I can lock out the ICE? Thank you, Vin Edited February 7, 2018 at 05:13 AM by Vintre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj2me Posted February 5, 2018 at 07:51 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 at 07:51 PM I would trust the car. They didn't make the ICE come on in whatever conditions you're in for no reason. For example, maybe it's to protect the battery. There's no battery heater like in full EVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Vin What setting are you in? You said 2 settings, but there are three. Auto, EV Now, EV Later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto, EV Now, EV Later.That was a typo, sorry. I know there are 3 settings. I am in EV Now mode. It just bugs me to see the ICE come on when I am only going a few Kms when I know there is plenty of battery charge. Thanks for all the responses.
