Ok I will try.  :)


IMO:

1. Around town speeds in series mode as much as possible.

2. At highway speeds in parallel mode.

3. At highway speeds in parallel mode.

4. As I have written above.


Now for my PHEV parallel mode starts at approx 70kph if I don't smash the accelerator too hard (up till approx 120kph will drop back to or stay in series mode if I smash the accelerator too hard) but parallel mode drops out at approx 65kph or less to series mode (a little bit of hysteresis added to prevent unwanted rapid mode switching I think).


Look at it this way. If you must use fuel for a trip try to only use it in parallel mode IMO where the petrol motor is mechanically engaged to the front axle via a clutch which it is normally at highway speeds from my experience.


Is that as clear as mud? :oops:  :lol:


Regards Trex.
