Hey all!
Got my lovely Tucson PHEV last Saturday. Been driving it around for commute (22km one way). Love the ride so far.
Been trying to drive on EV mode mostly, however, it's always turning the gas engine on to idle while driving on EV mode. Wondering if anyone has similar experience.
Yes I understand it would run gas engine for climate control and acceleration aide. I don't mind it coming on occasionally, but it can rather persistently be on (good 30mins out of an hour of slow traffic) when I commute.
1.This appears to be true even when I turn off all climate controls (including heated seat and steering).
2. Battery fully charged
3. Car pre-heated 7 mins prior to departure
4. Outside temp around -1 to -5C (which isn't super cold)
Any insight would be much appreciated, and let me know anyone has similar issues!
