The Critic
Thread starter
The Stellantis regiment is a bit more aggressive -- it locks you out of EV mode until the refresh is performed.I think the Chevy Volt had a similar setup where the control system "forced" the engine to run occasionally if the vehicle was used in a duty cycle where battery power was all that was required. IIRC they also wanted to run some fuel through the system to keep things from getting stale.
