Question for LS600 owner

Usually how many bars does the hybrid battery show on screen? Just bought one and on start up it usually very low then after a few min. of driving it up a few bars. Max is always two bars below max. Should I be concern?

Thanks

 

This is normal, mine does the same. Here in my suburb the speedlimit is 20Mph so the car goes into EV-mode. The range on EV-mode is only about 2 or 3 miles so the ICE will start to recharge the HV battery.
On the highway the car should charge the HV battery up to 1 or 2 bars below max. It NEVER reaches "full"

 

Thanks, now I feel better
