Yeah, but that requires a large dead zone in the accelerator to be able to keep it in coast mode. I try to hit that point on my Prius plug in, but it's extremely difficult. I suppose wasting a few hundred watts as I coast isn't a big deal, but it would be more efficient if I could achieve 100% coast.
The thing is, they should have allowed the coasting mode to be selected since it doesn't add any cost to the vehicle. It's just a software mode that requires no additional hardware.
