Extending a coast can be a good use of EV mode.
But you have to keep in mind that juice you take out of the big battery has to be replaced, and if you're being a good eco-driver by minimizing braking, then you're not going to be replacing much via regen.
Which means you're recharging the pack by burning gasoline, which isn't very efficient.
How much you use EV mode should depend on how much you use regen.
