Default GS 450H EV mode, your experince?

Hello,
Just wondering about what you see and feel EV can deliver. In Eco mode I can hover in EV in about 35mph for a while. But my engine remain idle at 1100 rpm all the time. When crawling in low speed and engaged EV actively, same thing. If I hit the throttle softly rpm steps up to 1500 but stil showing EV on, and battery is feeding wheels in schematics. Ok what is this really about? In sport mode it shows 0rpm in EV. How does your EV behave in these modes ?

I find that whenever the EV light goes on, the engine is not running as I would expect. I checked in Sport mode to see the tach and at 35mph the RPM was just over 1000 and the EV light was not on. When is did go on the RPM dropped to 0.

Are you seeing the EV light on but the engine still running?

It is possible to have the EV mode showing, with the engine running, this is probably because your main car battery is low and the only way to charge it is to have the engine running, try giving your car a good 10 mile run at speed to really charge the battery, then see if it acts the same, if it does I would take it to have it looked at.
