If the Metro needs this kind of help...I'm guessing it's now 100% EV lol

I think it's engineered for optimal efficiency, capitalizing on the strengths and weaknesses of EV and ICE propulsion systems. As seen above, EV mode is more suited for stop-and-go urban environments while I would imagine the motive powerplants are reversed (Metro in front, EV unit in rear) for highway/long distance high-speed cruising.

For some reason, this situation doesn't strike me as optimal efficiency...haha, I miss being in here late at n- early in the morning :)
