I’m curious to know how much gas is used when the ICE is needed to charge the battery (either because of heat demands or a depleted battery following manual charge).
I am getting extremely good mileage and it seems like the ICE is almost never exclusively powering the vehicle - but it’s often not on full EV as it’s still cold here and needed to warm the engine…
not Sure how to quantify it… but the engine must use very little gas when it’s powering the battery and then the battery is driving the vehicle?
At first I thought the vehicle goes to straight gas when the battery depleted but that’s obviously not the case either.
