Hi Everyone, I purchased my Clarity PHEV about a month ago and am loving it and the fact that I haven't had to visit a gas station in that month!
In the last week, I've noticed that my car will switch out of EV mode to using the gas engine. At first, I thought I noticed a correlation between accelerating rapidly and the car automatically switching to gas mode, but it also happened once when I was at a stop sign. My EV charge was not close to depletion in any of these instances. I'd rather stay in EV as long as possible.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And how do I return the car back to EV mode?
Thanks!
