...so charge mode is gone for 2017

but after some trial and observation, I was able to get the car to charge to some extend

I have discovered (2017 Canadian E-ton) whenever the car is in "sport" or "dynamic" mode, the car will charge and maintain the battery up to 1/3 capacity.

so whenever I have a depleted battery and want to keep some battery reserve, I put the car in sport mode...the engine will charge the battery to 1/3 and keep it at 1/3 but it wont charge over 1/3 (works best on hwy driving to keep gas mileage down). i guess 1/3 charge mode is better than nothing.
 
I have noticed that it charges in Sport/dynamic mode, but I haven't charged it enough in that mode to see an upper limit. I wonder why that limit is there?
