Why don't these cars STAY in EV+ mode? For about 1/4 mile around my house I get enough electric-only power to not need the gas engine at all (unless the battery gets too low), but anywhere else and you only get about 2/3-75% of the power it will put out in EV+ mode, which is just barely enough to get up to 45 MPH on level ground (As long as there's no one behind you - it takes a good solid minute)
